Snapshot: Just Ruud Van Nistelrooy Blacked-Up, Dressed As Belshazzar, King of Babylon
By Chris Wright
Soooo, Ruud van Nistelrooy turned up to the annual ‘Parade of the Three Kings’ in Marbella, Spain dressed like this…
‘Belshazzar, King of Babylon’ if you were wondering. Apparently Ruud, along with the other two kings, rode through the streets of Marbella in an open-top car before visiting a local hospital and handing out gifts to the staff and sweets to the children.
We’re not sure how we feel about this.

Looks like a black John Cena.
@Mr. Chopper:LOL. Genius.
I want that dress for the next disco!
You should feel absolutely fine about this. It’s a great honour in Spain to be chosen by the city councils to represent one of the Three Wise Men. So keep your prejudices for youlself.
The dutch do a similar sort of blacking up parade for Christmas, he probably already had the face paint.
It suits him surprisingly well actually…
Absolute KWALITY.
Love it
pretty sure dressing up in blackface is not ok. ever. this is an extremely disappointing judgement call on the part of Ruud and anyone who condoned this.
