Ronaldo Vows to Live to 100 Amid Retirement Talk

|By Adejumo Adekunle –

Cristiano Ronaldo has humorously addressed a comment suggesting he is nearing 40 and approaching the end of his life. The remark was made by popular YouTube creator Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, during a recent video collaboration with the Portuguese football icon.

MrBeast quipped, “Almost 40! You’re about to die, what’s it like?” in a light-hearted exchange. Ronaldo, laughing off the comment, confidently responded, “I’m going to live until I’m 100, just to let you know.”

The football legend added perspective on the longevity of football careers, noting, “In football, this is a long career because most of the time they retire at 33, 34, or 36.” Despite the playful banter, Ronaldo, who recently hosted MrBeast, made no mention of plans to retire, signaling his commitment to staying active in the sport.
