Fans believe Netflix’s The Figo Affair star has looked the same always

Fans have been perplexed by a photograph of a young Luis Figo “who has looked 40 all of his life”. The former Real Madrid player was the focus of a Netflix documentary, and while fans enjoyed the substance, they couldn’t get past his appearance. Figo used to have long hair, but his “bullish” features made people laugh about his appearance being older than he was.
