The soccer stud will be replacing the brand's current model, David Beckham, starting from next year.

Expect to see Cristiano Ronaldo baring his flesh for the camera as he has been recruited as the new spokesmodel for Emporio Armani Men's Underwear and Armani Jeans starting from Spring/Summer 2010. He will be replacing current model David Beckham who has modeled the brand since last year.

Comment is yet to be made by Cristiano himself regarding his recruitment. The high-fashion brand also hasn't commented on having him as their new model.

24-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo currently serves as forward for Spanish club Real Madrid. Besides, he is also the captain of Portugal's national soccer team. He often lands himself in hot water over his love relationships with several ladies. He was last rumored dating Paris Hilton, but they have denied embarking on a romance.
