The image of Cristiano Ronaldo with a beard is spreading online at breakneck speed. But is it a product of artificial intelligence (AI)?

Recently, a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo with a bushy beard appeared on his Instagram. Fans humorously commented that Cristiano Ronaldo in the photo resembled Bernardo Silva or former Manchester United star Michael Carrick.
After the photo was widely spread online, many people questioned whether the beard on Cristiano Ronlado’s face was the new look of this 39-year-old player, or just a creation of AI?he former Manchester United star has changed his hairstyle many times over the past few years, but one thing remains in common: he almost always maintains a youthful and beardless face.
So some fans believe that Ronaldo’s new look is not real. One fan wrote: ‘He still looks beautiful but I know this is created by AI, it looks so real’. Another wrote in agreement: ‘Isn’t that AI?’.
So yesterday’s clash (April 19), when Al Nassr Club won 3-1 against Al Feiha, is expected to be the perfect opportunity for fans to hunt for the true image of Cristiano Ronaldo right now. However, that was the match that the Portuguese superstar did not attend because he received a direct red card in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup.
