  • What makes Ronaldo’s Inspire clinics in Saudi Arabia unique and professional?

Cristiano Ronaldo, among his many endeavours off the football pitch, is involved in promoting health and wellness as part his role as co-founder of Inspire, a company focussed on self-confidence, aesthetics and hair care.

The Portuguese football star discussed the company’s expansion into the Middle East, including clinics in Riyadh and expressed affection for Saudi Arabia, calling it his “home,” in an exclusive interview with an MBC partner station of Al Arabiya, Loud FM.

Ronaldo emphasised that health and appearance are connected to self-esteem, arguing that looking good externally can boost inner confidence. He joked about his own hair, saying that having hair makes him feel better and more himself.

“If you see me without hair, I will not be the same person,” he said.

The Al Nassr forward has been a symbol of health in the sporting world as he continues to play competitive football and setting new records at the age of 40.

“It's better to do things with hair. I think so. Do you not agree with me? I prefer it. If you see me, for example, without the hair, I will not be the same Christian. In my opinion, I think. But so many people don't care if they have hair or not. I believe with hair, you're looking better. So this is just my opinion.”

Stigma of Looking After Your Hair

“And I know we've had a joke, but no one should feel in any way embarrassed to inspire you. This is something positive you can do for yourself. Maybe sometimes people joke a little bit like we have, but it's actually something very positive.

“We're having a bit of fun, but you should be proud to come here, yes? Listen, as I've been in the business for so many years, I understand a little bit the problems of the people and depend on the country as well. Because for example, Spain, Portugal, Italy, they look in different ways. They are similar, but in a different way. What I mean with that?

“The people go to the clinic a little bit, they go a little bit shy. Because five years ago, it was like a stigma. But now it's different. The people see with different eyes now. They see like, it's like that you go to the dentist to do the checkup.

“The hair is completely the same because we have a unique body. And everything is together. So I think you should be confident, with hair or without hair. With hair is better, in my opinion. You feel comfortable with yourself. I think it's the most important thing. I love that. I think it's an important conversation.”

Helping People With Self-Confidence

“The project, the people, it’s something that you can help the people, you know, to have self-confidence. We [Inspire] are in Europe, we are in the Middle East as well, here in the region of Saudi Arabia and I'm really glad, to be honest, it's a nice project, we help the people, it's something that the people need and I'm glad for that.”

“The confidence is not coming from outside, it's always coming from inside, but it's always nice to be looking good as well outside. So for me, as I tell you, the health is for me, the main key. Better health, more longevity, in my opinion. So as you mentioned, and good, my focus is to be part of the great companies of health. I have another companies related with health that aren’t hair. So I'm glad we are here to help the people for the self-confidence.”

“I love all the Saudi Arabia. One thing that I'm sure 100% that these people here, it's very professional. As the doctors say in speeches, the technology, it's unique. The conditions are very, very nice. It's only you that can go inside this clinic or the other clinics of Inspire and go other ones to see the difference.

“It's easy for me to say that we are the best, but I want that you see and you feel by yourself. I can say 100% that our clinic, our group, it's very professional and unique. And this is why we keep going to open more clinics.

“It's not by coincidence that it's lucky. Luck comes with hard work. I believe in that. And this is why I believe these clinics continue to grow and grow and grow because the people behind, it's very professional. Our technology is always growing, growing, growing. We learn even more every time. And the future is brilliant. So I'm looking forward to the next few years.”
