Watch his weigh in: Brazilian legend Ronaldo agrees to go on Celebrity Fit Club

Ever since he hung up his magic boots Ronaldo has been piling on the pounds, but now the Brazilian star has decided to try and shed his load by going on Celebrity Fit Club.

The World Cup winner will take part in Brazil’s “Fantástico” television show, in which the former PSV, Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Real Madrid striker will attempt to lose a crapload of weight while entertaining locals on the box.

Aside from inspiring others to get into shape, the 36-year-old has delcared that his motivation for joining the TV show is to get fit for a charity match he is organising later this year with French legend Zinadine Zidane.

Ronaldo’s star power is likely to be a golden ticket for the producers of Fantástico, and already one clip is going viral after the ex-pro completed his weigh in with the cameras rolling.

Weighing in at whopping 118.4kg, footage of Ronaldo’s Celebrity Fit Club medical induction can be seen below.
