BRASILIA A nine-year-old Brazilian farm boy has been catapulted to fame for his extraordinary likeness to his hero, world and European footballer of the year Ronaldo. Bruno Lima Alves beat 57 other look-alikes for the starring role in a new soft drink commercial where he represents the young Ronaldinho, as Ronaldo is affectionately known in Brazil. When he walked in, I couldn't believe the resemblance, casting Director Andrea Coelho told daily newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo. (Reuter)
