Cristiano Ronaldo has been at the top of the headlines since his high-profile meeting with US President Donald Trump, having attended a special dinner at the White House in the presence of other leading names from all walks of life.

A few days after the event, Trump surprised everyone by posting an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated video of himself playing football with Ronaldo inside the White House. He shared the video on his official social media handles and could be seen displaying a few impressive skills, including headers as well as dribbles, with the veteran footballer.

"Ronaldo is a GREAT GUY. Loved meeting him at the White House. Really smart, and cool!!! President DJT," Trump captioned the video.

A third commented, "Bro, I really thought this was a meme page. This is the president of the USA. Lol."

Earlier, Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, posted a series of pictures with Trump. He lauded the US president for the warm welcome.

"Thank you, Mr President, for your invitation and for the warm welcome you and the First Lady gave me and my future wife, @georginagio. Each of us has something meaningful to give, and I stand ready to do my part as we inspire new generations to build a future defined by courage, responsibility and lasting peace," wrote Ronaldo, having met Donald Trump with his partner Georgina Rodriguez.

During the state dinner hosted in honour of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman a couple of days ago, Trump acknowledged Ronaldo's presence and mentioned that his youngest son, Barron, was a "big fan" of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. "Barron got to meet him. And I think he respects his father a little bit more, now, just the fact that I introduced you," Trump said. "So I just want to thank you both for being here. Thank you very much. Really an honour."

Recently, the 40-year-old Ronaldo was seen in action for Portugal during their World Cup qualifier matches. However, he missed the match against Armenia, which Portugal won by 9-1. The legendary footballer is all set to appear in his record sixth World Cup next year.
