Ronaldo's current, boring antics or fooling around (9)
I believe the answer is:
cristiano
'ronaldo's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'current boring antics or fooling around' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'I' (physics symbol).
'boring' indicates putting letters inside (to bore something can mean to drill into it).
'fooling around' is an anagram indicator.
'antics'+'or'='anticsor'
'anticsor' is an anagram of 'crstiano'.
'i' put inside 'crstiano' is 'CRISTIANO'.
(Another definition for cristiano that I've seen is " Ronaldo".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
