Cristiano Ronaldo, the iconic Portuguese footballer, has addressed a remark by YouTube sensation Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, about his age and mortality. In a recent video collaboration, MrBeast jokingly commented on Ronaldo’s age, quipping, “Almost 40! You’re about to die, what’s it like?”
The light-hearted exchange took place during a discussion between the football legend and the popular YouTuber, who Ronaldo hosted on his channel. Ronaldo, now 39, laughed off the comment and delivered a spirited response, stating:
“I’m going to live until I’m 100, just to let you know. In football, this is a long career because most of the time they retire at 33, 34, or 36.”
Ronaldo’s remark underscores his enduring passion for the sport and his defiance of traditional career timelines. While many footballers retire in their mid-30s, Ronaldo has consistently pushed the boundaries of longevity in the game, maintaining his physical fitness and elite performance levels.
Despite being at an age where retirement conversations often arise, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star made no mention of stepping away from the sport during the discussion. His determination to keep playing at the highest level is a testament to his dedication, discipline, and love for football.
As one of the greatest players of all time, Ronaldo’s ambition to live to 100 is yet another bold statement from a man who has spent his career achieving the seemingly impossible. Fans worldwide will undoubtedly look forward to seeing him continue to defy expectations both on and off the pitch.
