How footballers look as women via FaceApp including Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe, Sterling, Kane and Mourinho
BRACE yourself.
Have you ever wondered what Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Harry Kane or even Franck Ribery would look like if they were women?
No? Well we have. So we decided to put their famous faces through FaceApp and got some hilarious results back.
They don't call it the beautiful game for nothing, you know.
CRISTIANO RONALDO
There's no doubt that the Juventus star is one of the pin-ups of the game, attracting scores of female fans to his social media.
His clean-cut looks work well as a man, but how do they translate put through FaceApp?
Rather bizarrely, Ronaldo can pull if off. He looks like a glamorous movie star, and not too dissimilar to partner Georgina Rodriguez or even Cindy Crawford.
Is there anything this man can't do?
LIONEL MESSI
Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or rival is equally as glam.
Put Messi's face through FaceApp and he too looks like he's been given the Hollywood treatment with big, bouffant hair.
His lips are fuller, cheekbones higher but you can still see it's him.
And how about that jaw-line?
MO SALAH
The Egyptian genius is a Liverpool hero.
The Kop faithful love singing about him running down the wing, and his distinctive looks and thick beard certainly make him standout on the pitch.
But, something funny happens when you put him through FaceApp as a woman.
He loses his beard and the curly mane gets longer!
HARRY KANE
The England and Tottenham star is the model professional.
He scores when he wants, is a hero for club and country, and standing at 6ft 2in would certainly make a striking lady.
And as you can see, the hairstyle hasn't changed much through FaceApp.
But look at those pouty lips!
HARRY MAGUIRE
Rashford's club and country teammate Maguire has the unfortunate nickname 'Slabhead' because of his extra large forehead.
While that's a great quality to have as a leading centre half, you'd think it's not a look that translates well on FaceApp.
But how we were wrong.
There's a certain elegance to Maguire as a woman, just like how he brings the ball out of defence.
RAHEEM STERLING
The Manchester City and England winger is considered one of the best players in the world.
And he's the ultimate family man, caring for daughter Melody Rose and son Thiago with partner Paige.
But they will have a field day when they see his face swap.
Sterling looks stunning as a lady!
JORDAN HENDERSON
The Liverpool captain has enjoyed an outstanding campaign for the Reds.
In fact, his form surely makes him a contender for the PFA Players' Player of the Year, should the season restart after the coronavirus crisis.
Through FaceApp he certainly suits being a blonde.
In fact, narrow your eyes slightly and you might just see a slight resemblance to Taylor Swift.
PAUL POGBA
The saga of Paul Pogba continues.
Will he stay at Manchester United or will he leave when the transfer window opens for pastures new?
Either way, if he dressed up as a lady, this could be a cunning disguise to leave quietly through the back door.
What d'you think?
MARCUS RASHFORD
Manchester United star Marcus Rashford and come on leaps and bounds at Old Trafford this past year.
He's one of the first names on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's teamsheet, and is now an England regular under Gareth Southgate.
As a woman, like Messi, it's his cheekbones that win the day.
And many ladies would die for those eyebrows.
JOSE MOURINHO
He's not called 'The Special One' for nothing.
Mourinho is in hot water for training Spurs players at a North London park - breaking self-isolating rules.
He was always a housewives favourite, with his dark, moody looks.
As a lady, he certainly looks special to us.
JURGEN KLOPP
Liverpool boss Klopp has studiously built a superb team.
With his trademark glasses and epic smile, he's the perfect football caricature to put through FaceApp.
And when you spin his image through FaceApp something funny happens.
He turns into your local librarian!
EDEN HAZARD
The former Chelsea man has had a tough time since leaving West London.
It's all gone wrong for the Belgium star, who has struggled to find his feet at Real Madrid after his move last summer.
And should his teammates see this, you can bet he would be in for a ribbing.
Nice hair though.
ANTOINE GRIEZMANN
French star appeared to be the black sheep of the Barcelona dressing room after failing to settle in at the Camp Nou.
He also felt the wrath of Messi, who has outshone him in his first season at the Catalan giants.
Put through FaceApp, Griezmann's green look bolder with eyeliner.
Of course, the headband stays.
KYLIAN MBAPPE
The PSG forward is the most-wanted footballer on the planet.
Lightning quick and a prolific goalscorer, the France World Cup-winner has won plenty of admirers.
But what do you think of him as the female of the species?
Would he still be a World Cup winner too?
FRANCK RIBERY
The French legend has enjoyed a stellar career at the top.
Over the course of his career, he's starred for Marseille and most memorably at Bayern Munich for 12 years.
FaceApp gives him red lipstick - fitting of his famous former employers, Bayern.
And check out those eye lashes!
RONALDINHO
Brazil legend Ronaldinho has had a tough time of it of late.
Thrown into a Paraguayan jail because of passport fraud, he's now under house arrest at a luxury hotel in Ascuncion as cops investigate his case further.
With time on his hands, he might've just put his own image through FaceApp to see what gives.
If he did, he would've got this - looking like a Rio Carnival dancer.
IAIN DOWIE
Dowie was never blessed with good looks.
But as a centre forward for West Ham and Southampton it helped him strike fear into opposition defences.
As a lady, you wouldn't want to come across him in a dark alley either.
FaceApp has also given him a thicker barnet too!
SAM ALLARDYCE
Big Sam has been without a job since his England sacking.
Again, he's another with time on his hands - but we doubt he would've been interested in seeing what he'd look like as a lady.
So, just for you Sam we've done it on your behalf.
FRANK LAMPARD
It's been an interesting first season at Chelsea for their favourite son.
Frank Lampard has blooded in youngsters and given the club a fresh lease of life since taking over the reigns last summer.
His dark, masculine looks have always won him admirers from female fans, and he's married to beautiful TV presenter Christine Bleakley.
And as a woman he's certainly glowing.
