A video circulating on social media, accompanied by a caption, claims to show Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo reading the Quran. However, an investigation by Misbar, a fact-finding site, found this claim to be false. Actually, the video features Bewar Abdullah, an Iraqi national living in the United Kingdom, who is known for his striking resemblance to the football star.
The video was first posted to TikTok in 2021 by Bewar Abdullah, with a message for Eid al-Adha. Already viral at the time, this clip caused a similar misunderstanding, fueled by social networks. The Misbar website has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo does not appear in this video.
This confusion is not unprecedented: due to his striking resemblance to Ronaldo, Bewar Abdullah is often mistaken for the footballer, especially since he moved to the United Kingdom in 2019.
The British press has also reported the popularity of this double, which continues to cause a sensation on social networks. This case shows how physical appearance can easily deceive Internet users, especially on platforms where viral information is not always verified. It is therefore necessary to be vigilant about shared content, especially when it relates to public figures.
