A shocking video recently went viral, sparking widespread controversy on social media. The video shows Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo enjoying a fun time with his son in a swimming pool that appears to be on the rooftop of a very tall building. At first, the scene seemed normal and full of laughter, with Cristiano playfully teasing his son as usual. However, things took a terrifying turn when the football star playfully grabbed his son and pretended to throw him into the pool. The shocking moment came when the child's hands slipped from his grip, causing him to fall off the building, leaving viewers in shock and astonishment, as shown in the image below.
The video spread like wildfire, with reactions pouring in from people expressing their horror at the incident. Some blamed Ronaldo for his carelessness, while others doubted the video’s authenticity, believing it might be a digital manipulation or a hoax.

The truth is that the original video, which was altered, was just an ordinary family moment of Cristiano and his son in the swimming pool of their home, completely safe and free from any danger; the real video is below.
This incident highlights the growing risks of AI-generated fake videos, which can create highly convincing false scenes that are difficult to distinguish from reality. Such content can cause unnecessary panic and spread misinformation easily.
