Mugged

Celebrities are treated like Gods, but even God’s name is sold for money these days. So when Roberto Carlos was doing a live radio interview, two robbers carrying guns approached him and mugged him.

However, those thieves had compassion as they didn’t harm the legendary former left-back and only took his expensive watch along with the interviewer’s cellular phone.

And this event happened back in 2005, when social media wasn’t as prominent as it is now and hence didn’t get much media coverage.
