Former football star, aged 42, appears completely different as he casually enjoys a beer with no shoes on in public.

There has been quite a buzz among football fans recently, as a viral video of Brazilian legend Adriano has sparked some concerns about his health. The 42-year-old, who is renowned for scoring 27 goals in 48 games for his country between 2000 and 2010, was seen in the video drinking beer while walking barefoot on the street. This has caused alarm among his fans, as they recall his struggles with alcoholism and depression during his playing days.

Adriano, who retired in 2016, is most famously known for his time at Italian club Inter Milan. However, in this new viral clip, he looks almost unrecognizable. The video has garnered over six million views, with many expressing their worries about the former football star's well-being. Twitter user @Jiji_Byte even shared the video, questioning why so many Brazilian footballers seem to struggle after retirement. This sparked a series of concerned comments from other fans.

But not everyone is convinced that Adriano is still battling alcohol issues. Twitter user @GingaBonitoHub pointed out that the retired player is far from struggling financially, living in a luxurious multimillion-dollar apartment in Rio. They also clarified that Adriano's visit to the favelas, where the video was filmed, was simply to catch up with his childhood friends. Unlike many other footballers, Adriano has never forgotten his roots or abandoned his childhood connections.

Adriano's retirement at the young age of 34 came as a shock to many, especially given his successful career. However, it was during his time at Inter Milan that his struggles with alcoholism and depression began, following the tragic loss of his father. In a 2018 interview with Brazilian outlet R7, Adriano opened up about his battle, stating that he felt very lonely after his father's passing and turned to alcohol as a means of coping. He admitted that he drank excessively every night and it eventually led to his departure from Inter.

It has been eight years since Adriano retired, having won 14 trophies throughout his career, including four Serie A titles with Inter. Despite his early retirement, he has left a lasting impact on the football world, both for his remarkable skills on the field and his struggles off it. As fans continue to express their concern for him, we can only hope that he has found peace and happiness in his life after football.
