Emanuel Santos, the sculptor of the much-maligned bust of Cristiano Ronaldo at Madeira Airport, has defended his work, as he believes the Real Madrid star is a fan of the statue.
Per the MailOnline's Gerard Couzens and the Daily Mail's Oliver Todd, Santos said:
He [Ronaldo] only asked for some wrinkles to be changed, that give him a certain expression in his face when he's about to laugh.
He said it made him look older and asked for it to be thinned out a bit to make it smoother and more jovial.
