Well-known football stars Kylian Mbappe and Luis Figo both love bears a lot. It turns out that Mbappe, the star player for Paris Saint-Germain, is the “godfather” of two cute bears who live in France.

Mbappe talked about how much he loves animals, especially pandas, at the event where the twin pandas were adopted. As their “godfather,” he promised to help the bears grow and learn in the future. Mbappe has visited Viên Đô Đô and Hoan Lê Lê with their family many times since then, and they are loved by everyone.

The skilled former Portuguese midfielder went to Sichuan, China, a month ago to see the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Luis Figo said that he is a huge fan of Hoa Hoa, the panda who is the most sought-after “superstar” at the base.

Bear cub Hoa Hoa was born on July 4, 2020, and her twin brother is named Hòa Diệp. There are over 564,000 people who follow Hoa Hoa on Weibo, and her posts have been read 1.82 billion times. “Hoa Hoa panda” is often the most searched term on Weibo, taking over the daily hot search ranks. A lot of people say that Hoa Hoa looks like a “rice ball” because she is so cute and smaller than most adult pandas.

The staff at the Chengdu panda base say that guests can only watch Hoa Hoa for a short time to make sure that the “idol” has a healthy place to live. Because of this, there are always too many people coming to see Hoa Hoa and the panda society in general.

It’s too bad that Luis Figo couldn’t meet Hoa Hoa when he was in Chengdu. He is a famous football player. “It’s too bad that she was already asleep when I got there,” he said. There were a lot of people. I thought it would be busy, but I didn’t think there would be so many people there. I need to plan another visit!”

The strong love that both Mbappe and Figo have for pandas shows how much they care about animals and want to protect them. These famous football players and many other fans around the world are in love with pandas because they are so cute.
