From the makers of "Senna", following the life of F1 legend Ayrton Senna, as well as the Amy Winehouse film "Amy", the documentary footage of Ronaldo as a child, montages of his career, and interviews with friends and family.

The Portuguese international gave a film crew unprecedented access to his life for 14 months, both on and off the football pitch.

On Twitter, Ronaldo expressed his excitement about his upcoming film, sharing the official poster and later the trailer.

"My aim with this documentary is to be who I am, objectively for my fans," the legendary player told the media.

"I think people will love watching this documentary because it's not fictitious or manipulated - it's something real.

"I'm so thrilled that the film will celebrate a global release on Monday 9th November and I can't wait to see everyone in London."
