Cristiano Ronaldo responded humbly in a recent discussion with famous YouTube creator Mr Beast. The Portuguese superstar's YouTube page has grown exponentially since he started a channel on the video-sharing platform.
Ronaldo started his channel in June and soon reached 588 million views and 67 million subscribers. He has shared 71 videos, and in his latest video, he invited Mr Beast. The video went on to amass 1.5 million views in less than an hour.
During their discussion, Mr Beast asked the Real Madrid legend if he thought he would beat him to the most subscribers on the platform. He currently has a mind-boggling 331 million subscribers. The American content creator asked:
"Do I think you could beat me? No, well depends what you do.”
Cristiano Ronaldo responded with humility, saying:
“I don’t want to beat that record, honestly. This record is for you.”
The Portuguese legend's achievements in football make him one of the most famous people on the planet.
In October, Mr Beast discussed Cristiano Ronaldo's quick YouTube success. The Portuguese superstar broke the American's record for the most new subscribers in his first month on the platform.
Mr Beast, AKA Jimmy Donaldson, is currently the biggest star on the platform, with 64.6 billion views and 331 million subscribers since February 2012. He discussed the situation on Logan Paul's IMPAULSSIVE podcast, where he said (via GOAL):
“I broke the world record for most subs in a month, and two months later, Ronaldo comes on. If there were someone who would pass me, it would be Ronaldo.”
Cristiano Ronaldo is 39 years old and heading into the latter stages of his illustrious football career. The Portuguese's fame in the most popular sport on the planet could see him grow into a successful YouTuber after he hangs up his boots.
