Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted to a claim that he is 40 years old and would soon die.
YouTube star, Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, had made a comment about Ronaldo’s age in a recent video collaboration.
The Portuguese superstar responded by stating that he will live until he reaches 100 years.
Ronaldo said that although people retire from playing football as early as 33, 34 or 36, football is a long career.
Ronaldo, who recently hosted the American YouTuber on his channel, said nothing about retirement.
As they discussed, MrBeast, talked about the former Real Madrid star’s age, saying via SPORTbible, “Almost 40! You’re about to die, what’s it like?”
And after laughing off the American’s comment, the Manchester United’s legend emphatically stated: “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.”
