Nike Football does a Ronaldo Body Swap

In the latest ad for Nike Football, Cristiano Ronaldo accidentally swaps bodies with a kid. The results are surprisingly hilarious. Created by Wieden+Kennedy for Nike in time for Euro 2016, it’s Nike Football’s longest branded ad yet. It was also the most extensive ad shoot that Ronaldo has done, requiring 5 days of filming, and the football star did his own stunts in the initial collision scene. In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, 16 professional players make cameos: Raheem Sterling, Joe Hart, Harry Kane, Chris Smalling, John Stones, Ross Barkley, Megan Rapinoe, Ricardo Quaresma, Andre Gomes, Jose Fonte, Cedric Soares, Vieirinha, Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial, Sergi Roberto and Javier Mascherano.

The shoot was the first opportunity the players had to wear the final, badged versions of their new national team kits.
