An Iranian artist, Fateme Hamami took the world by surprise when she painted Ronaldo. Although it shouldn't be difficult for a seasoned artist to draw the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, what stood out for Hamami was that she is 85% paralysed and drew up the Juventus icon using her feet. 

Her Instagram video of the same was accompanied by a caption that read, "I'm drawing face of Ronaldo. My dear friends, I love Ronaldo very much and I loved this painting very much I want Ronaldo to see my painting and support my art. So, everyone together, mention Ronaldo in the post, so I can reach my goals with the support of you."
