The man who once had a licence to thrill at Manchester United is back ‒ and dressed like James Bond.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to England on Monday night and was reunited with his former Old Trafford manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, on the red carpet at the glitzy West End premiere of his new documentary 'Ronaldo'.

The 30-year-old three-time Ballon d'Or winner signalled his excitement ahead of the premiere, tweeting: 'If you're in London come down to Leicester Square at 5pm this evening and say Hi! #ronaldofilm.' He attached a snap of the venue, before adding: 'Today is a very exciting day, the Premiere of @RonaldoFilm. Looking forward for tonight!'

The forward allowed a film crew to have unprecedented access to his private and public life over 14 months, producing the documentary which will be shown around the world. It crucially took in the year in which he helped Real Madrid to 'La Decima' - their tenth European Cup.
The film was made by James Gay-Rees - the producer of another impressive sports documentary 'Senna', as well as the Amy Winehouse film 'Amy'; Ronaldo will now go up against new Bond flick 'Spectre' in the battle of the Box Office.
Ronaldo believes the film is about showing fans who he really is, having previously been quoted as saying: 'My aim with this documentary is to be who I am, objectively for my fans. I think people will love watching this documentary because it's not fictitious or manipulated - it's something real.
'I'm so thrilled that the film will celebrate a global release on Monday November 9 and I can't wait to see everyone in London.'
The film includes interviews with those close to the player, as well as never-before-seen footage of him as a child and montages of his career.
