Ghanaian barber Kelvin Akomeah Boafo, popularly known as “Legacy The Barber,” has shared the story of how he became Cristiano Jr.’s barber in Saudi Arabia.
Narrating his intriguing journey, he revealed that he landed this incredible opportunity through a recommendation from one of Cristiano Jr.’s teammates.
He explained that football icon Cristiano Ronaldo’s son subsequently contacted him to request a haircut at his residence.
“I was becoming famous. One of Cristiano Jr.’s teammates reached out to me on Instagram, and he was satisfied with the trim,” he told Zion Felix.
“Cristiano Jr. liked his friend’s trim and reached out to me. He called, and I was very happy when he introduced himself. I was supposed to cut his hair a week later, but something happened, so I went there two weeks later.”
The Ghanaian barber has since become the favourite hairstylist for Cristiano Jr., often giving him trims that make him stand out among his peers.
Being the barber of the son of a global football icon has exposed Legacy The Barber to numerous benefits, including access to the Dubai mansion of the Al Nassr star and a massive social media following.
In several videos shared by the barber on his social media accounts, Cristiano Jr. is seen endorsing Legacy The Barber.
