David Beckham can no longer lay sole claim to the nickname "Golden Balls".
The former England international, who was given the moniker by his singer wife Victoria in 2008, has some stiff competition from a larger-than-life statue of Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, that has been attracting large groups of tourists due to its generously sized crotch.
The statue was unveiled in Funchal, Portugal in 2014 but has recently triggered a selfie frenzy after members of the public noticed Ronaldo's bulge had turned from bronze to shiny gold from all the, well... hand-balling.
British tourist John Rodgers told the Sun he noticed the wear in the statue's private parts as well as in the hands when he sent a picture to his family.
