Athletes or sports stars are not only at their best on the field as they run behind a ball or wrestle their way to glory, but also completely amazing when it comes to body care and fitness. Their healthy diets and the copious amount of working out they do enables them to get smashing bodies that are the stuff of dreams for runways and photographers. This has led to so many athletes who endorse brands, do product placements, and advertisements into taking up modelling as well now and then.
The following is a list of male athletes who are also into modelling, compiled in conjunction with liontips.com:

Cristiano Ronaldo: Huh, this was pretty expected, right? Cristiano Ronaldo or CR7, as he is lovingly called, has a host of brand endorsements to his name, and copious followers gushing over his gorgeous face and his near perfect physique. He is also the poster boy for physical transformation, being a lanky teenager when he first started in the world of football, and then slowly engaging with trainers and hours of work on the field and in the gym to achieve the fitness level he is on at this point. The plus point is that he has maintained it over years. He has modelled for sports brands, magazines, commercials and so on, catering to all the dreamy eyes out there!

Freddie Ljungberg: At 41, this former Swedish winger and current assistant manager of Vfl Wolfsburg is still the hottest guy on any field. When he is not managing the Swedish team, Ljungberg is usually busy with all the brand endorsements he does. If you all remember 2003, then you will also have a pretty accurate idea about the kind of buzz Calvin Klein created when they signed him on as their underwear model. With a physique to die for, Ljungberg has modelled for so many brands that he has probably lost count of them all. Some include Proctor and Gamble, L’Oreal, Puma, ESPN and so on;

Hidetoshi Nakata: Hidetoshi Nakata, Cavaliere OSSI is a former professional Japanese footballer who is quite the eye catcher.

Nakata has modelled for the GQ Magazine over and over again, being featured in their 2007 as well as 2011 issues. He has also claimed to be obsessed with fashion and is quite the fashionista when he wants to be. Once again, Calvin Klein has featured him in their advertisements and gotten huge benefits.
