Cristiano Ronaldo hires top bull fighter as bodyguard ahead of 2018 World Cup in Russia

The world cup in Russia will kick off in few days time, and no one is taking chances on their safety especially Cristiano Ronaldo who has hired a personal security.

The Portugal captain, beefed up his personal security… by hiring one of the world’s best bull fighters.

Ronaldo, 33, employed shaven-headed strongman Nuno Marecos, whose usual day job is to challenge half-tonne bulls with his bare hands, as his bodyguard.

Hard-man and ex-paratrooper and MMA fighter Nuno was drafted in to keep the star safe at last Saturday’s Champions League final in Kiev – and has been booked to follow him around at the World Cup in Russia.

The move by Ronaldo comes after ISIS threatened to behead the star in a chilling mocked up photo.

Ronaldo watches a lot of bullfighting and handpicked Nuno after thinking he was one of the toughest men he’d ever seen, a source said.

He knows that people won’t mess with him if he has someone as tough as him by his side. Nuno was with him almost every waking hour in Kiev and he will be there for him in the World Cup too, the source added.

Nuno was pictured at Ronaldo’s side on the pitch after he celebrated winning his fifth European title.
