RIO DE JANEIRO, January 25: Inter Milan’s Brazilian star Ronaldo is to appear naked on US television tonight in an advertisement during the Super Bowl, according to a newspaper report.

Ronaldo is due to appear in an ad by sportswear firm, Nike, and although the US company has tried to keep the details secret, Brazilian newspaper Jornal do Brazil claims the soccer player will be among several other sporting stars appearing completely nude.

The others are reported to be NBA basketball player David Robinson, women’s basket heroine Lisa Leslie, double world and Olympic athletics champion Michael Johnson and fellow sprinter Suzy Hamilton.

Ronaldo’s fiancee Suzanna Werner is sure to be one interested viewer after a German newspaper revealed today that the two are to marry in August.

"Suzanna and I will get married on August 19 and we’ll live in Milan," the 21-year-old Brazilian goal machine told Focus.

Ronaldo said that when he first set eyes on his wife-to-be in a discotheque, "it was like a thunderbolt," adding that he wanted to start a family in the near future.
