One of the most celebrated footballers of this generation and the most-followed individual on social media, Cristiano Ronaldo, has openly stated that he is not surprised by the enormous number of followers he has amassed on social media.
The football legend, popularly known by his iconic moniker CR7, shared his thoughts during an engaging conversation with YouTube sensation MrBeast on the latest episode of his YouTube channel, UR Cristiano.
In the video, which was published on Thursday, Ronaldo spoke about his remarkable achievement of reaching a staggering one billion followers across various platforms. He described this milestone as both gratifying and expected, given his global influence and the admiration he receives worldwide.
The football icon attributed his unparalleled social media success to the immense love and passion people have for his career, his personality, and for football as a universally cherished sport.
While reflecting on the achievement, Ronaldo expressed his happiness and gratitude but maintained that it came as no surprise to him. He credited the unwavering support of his fans from all corners of the globe as a major factor in reaching this milestone.
He explained, “It was good. A good achievement, but I wasn’t surprised, to be honest.”
He further elaborated, “I know the passion that people have for me and for football as well. For the career I still have, I felt that passion, so it wasn’t a surprise.”
He added, “I feel happy, but in the same way, not surprised.”
It is worth recalling that back in September, Ronaldo made history by becoming the first individual to surpass the remarkable milestone of one billion followers across all his social media platforms, cementing his position as a global phenomenon.
