A 72-year-old Argentine glamour model has addressed speculation that football legend Ronaldinho took a nude video of her in the shower.
Actress Graciela Alfano, who became a sex symbol in Argentina during the late 1970s and early 1980s for her appearances on television, now has over one million followers on Instagram, where she regularly posts saucy pictures and videos.
Fans of Alfano were stunned in January when the model shared a picture of her with Brazilian icon Ronaldinho, 44, after the pair bumped into each other at a hotel lobby.
Shortly after posting the Instagram story, which was captioned ‘with the idol’, the Argentine went viral again for posting a risque video of her naked in the shower.
With only a thin shower curtain protecting her modesty, Alfano’s video left very little to the imagination.
Her encounter with Ronaldinho not long before led some fans to believe that he was the creator of the video, speculating that the pair were romantically entangled.

But Alfano has now cleared up the bizarre claim during a TV interview with Mirtha Legrand on Sunday.
Reacting to the shower scene, which was presented to her as a photograph on the show, Alfano said: ‘I love it, I feel very good about my body.’
Eager to investigate, Legrand responded: ‘Who took the photo of you? Can we find out?’
The 72-year-old replied: ‘That’s the question! They (her fans) asked me because I had just met Ronaldinho. You see, people make things up.
‘I took a photo with Ronaldinho in an elevator and everyone thought he had taken the photo of me.’
She continued: ‘Actually, it was one of the girls at the hotel where I was. I told her “You have to stay still here. You can’t move because my arm is covering exactly what it should cover. Don’t move”.
‘She got a great shot. It went viral and well, I loved it.’
Ronaldinho, who is widely regarded as one of the best footballers of his generation, has endured a chaotic spell since his retirement from the game — but is set to become a grandfather in the next few weeks.

Ronaldinho’s 20-year-old footballer son Joao Mendes and his influencer girlfriend Giovanna Buscacio, 25, announced they were having a baby on social media back in December
The Brazilian icon’s 20-year-old son Joao Mendes, who plays for Burnley in the Championship, is in a relationship with 25-year-old influencer Giovanna Buscacio, who shared the happy news on Instagram back in December.
‘Sixteen weeks and counting,’ she wrote to her 130,000-strong cohort of followers, captioning a photo of her with a hand on her belly.
‘She then posted a photo of her and boyfriend Mendes kissing in a lift and wrote: ‘Mom and dad. Incomplete without you my love but we are already together.’
‘I love you a lot, my darling,’ Mendes wrote in response, on the post which now appears to be deleted.
Mendes and Buscacio live in Manchester, with the footballer having departed Barcelona’s youth academy for Burnley over the summer.
