Even though he no longer plays in top tournaments, Cristiano Ronaldo still proves his unrivaled appeal.

The Portuguese star continued to affirm his status as a global icon when his interview video with famous YouTuber MrBeast received more than 4 million views in just over 3 hours after its release on November 21. As of 6:00 a.m. on November 22 (Hanoi time), this number had increased to more than 10 million views.

MrBeast, the owner of the world’s largest YouTube channel with 331 million subscribers, could not hide his surprise at the speed at which Ronaldo’s channel grew. After only a few months of launching, Ronaldo attracted 67.5 million followers, an astonishing number even for the “big guys” on this platform.

“I honestly thought you were going to hit 20-30 million in the first month,” MrBeast told TMZ Sports . “When you hit 60 million, I was like, ‘What the hell is going on!’ The previous record for subscriber growth in a month was 20 million, and that was ours.”

Ronaldo has also made history on social media, not just YouTube. In September, he became the first person in the world to reach 1 billion followers across all platforms, an unprecedented achievement that proves the superstar’s remarkable influence.

Perhaps MrBeast, with all his success, should learn a few secrets from Ronaldo to conquer new heights. These two famous names have combined and created a fever, proving the power of the intersection between sports and entertainment on digital platforms.
