Zlatan Ibrahimovich revealed many new tattoos on his body of names of children suffering from starvation in the world.
Zlatan Ibrahimovich is most well-known for being one of the best strikers in the world, showcasing incredible skill and daring creativity, and being just a little full of himself.
By ‘a little bit,’ I mean he may actually love himself more than Kanye West loves Kanye West.
Still, Zlatan showed that he has a softer side and a side that cares about other people as well. During Saturday’s game against Caen, the Paris Saint-Germain striker scored the opening goal and celebrated by removing his shirt.

This isn’t uncommon for footballers to do when they score a goal. However, you see it less often now because referees will issue a yellow card for any player who removes his shirt. It is deemed an act of unsportsmanlike conduct.
Zlatan knows this, but he was willing to take the yellow card and remove his shirt anyway. At first, you figured this was just Zlatan being Zlatan and just wanted to show off and not caring about getting carded. However, he had a much nobler reason for removing his shirt on this occasion.
As he removed his shirt, it was obviously noticeable that Zlatan had a lot more ink on him than he had before. He seemed to have a bunch of names tattooed on his torso.
He received a lot of questions about the extra tattoos on his body. During a press conference on Sunday, Zlatan gave everyone some answers.
"Saturday evening against Caen, when I took off my shirt, everyone asked what these new tattoos were, said Ibrahimovic on PSG’s official website. I had 15 temporary tattoos on my body. They were the names of real people who suffer from starvation in the world. Even if the tattoos are gone today, these people are still there. There are 805 million starving people in the world. I want you to see them, through me, to help the World Food Programme."
The World Food Programme is a charity organization built to help with world hunger.
Zlatan apparently does a lot of work with many different charities around the world, but he likes to keep those kinds of things private. Zlatan may have a huge ego, but he may have just as big of a heart.
