“I Have More Hair Than Him”
Ronaldo told Morgan, “There are good examples in other sports as well. For example, basketball — LeBron James. I think we are the same age. I have more hair than him though.”
Both stars, born in 1985, have defied age to remain at the top of their respective games.
Ronaldo debuted professionally in 2002, while James entered the NBA in 2003, and both continue to perform at elite levels over two decades later.
