Cristiano Ronaldo is gearing up to host a massive guest on his YouTube channel that he claims will “break the Internet”. The Portuguese icon recently opened his YouTube channel in August this year and accumulated a record 20 million subscribers in just 24 hours which has now zoomed to over 60 million.
In one of his latest videos, Ronaldo was captured meeting his former Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand at his residence. Ronaldo though appeared to be a little surprised after seeing the Englishman “early in the morning”.
The Al Nassr captain shared that he was “recording a video” and Ferdinand was curious to know who would be the next guest on his channel named UR Cristiano.
Ronaldo, however, wanted it to be a “secret”. Ferdinand took a guess and enquired the ex-Real Madrid man, “Is it a famous person?”
Ronaldo gave a cheeky response. “More famous than you (Ferdinand),” he said.
The former footballer assumed Ronaldo might be talking about Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs.
“No, but that would be nice,” the five-time Ballon d’Or hoped.
Ferdinand wasn’t giving up though as he fired another query.
“Is it an athlete or a singer?” the 46-year-old asked.
Ronaldo laughed before adding, “We are going to break the internet.”
Fans and social media users have been speculating over who the new guest might me.
A few feel that the 39-year-old would collaborate with famous YouTuber MrBeast who has over 330 million subscribers on the platform. His most recent video has over 97 million views.
A collaboration video with Ronaldo will no doubt attract more audience to both of their channels.
Recently in a “leaked” image, fans were able to spot Ronaldo and his son Cristiano Jr. posing alongside MrBeast which sparked speculations about their partnership for a YouTube video.
Ronaldo was last seen in action in the UEFA Nations League. He featured in a home game against Poland and netted two goals. His first strike came in the 72nd minute through a penalty. His second was a stunning bicycle kick in the 87th minute.
Powered by his brace, Portugal registered a 5-1 win in the Nations League fixture.
