Per The Telegraph‘s Sean Gibson, the airport was renamed the Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport to honor the island’s most famous citizen.
Spanish sculptor Jose Antonio Navarro Arteaga recently decided to create a bust that looked a lot closer to the subject matter.

Some even believe that the bust makes Ronaldo “look more handsome than he is,” per Couzens.
