Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo took a viral “Oscar selfie” at a black-tie White House dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump for Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, featuring attendees like Tesla CEO Elon Musk and FIFA President Gianni Infantino, according to a report from The Financial Express.
A star-studded event at the White House on Tuesday evening, a black-tie dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump for Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, resulted in a massively popular photo now being dubbed the new “Oscars selfie,” according to a report from The Financial Express.
The picture, which has been titled “‘Trillion dollars in 1 pic’,” was captured by Portugal soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, who “channelled his inner Bradley Cooper to pull a massively popular and iconic ‘Oscar selfie’ moment of his own at the White House.”
The soccer royalty managed to squeeze several major public personalities into the frame, including his own partner Georgina Rodriguez, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, FIFA head Gianni Infantino, and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
The event welcomed dozens of tech executives among many others.
The image is already on track to gain viral levels of fame, instantly tracing its similarities with the original “internet-breaking 2014 Oscars selfie.”
That memorable snap, which was often synonymously titled the “Ellen selfie,” was clicked by Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper and managed to squeeze in the talented likes of Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Lupita Nyong’o, and Channing Tatum into the frame.
The sheer concentration of wealth and celebrity at the White House event ensured the picture lived up to its viral moniker, capturing world figures in a single frame.
