Cristiano Ronaldo may not be plying his trade in one of the best leagues in the world anymore, but the Portuguese star continues to enjoy a following that rivals almost any athlete around.
On Thursday, Ronaldo published an interview with noted YouTuber MrBeast. The video garnered more than four million views within three-plus hours of its release.
MrBeast has more subscribers than any other channel with 331 million and counting. He marveled at how quickly Ronaldo amassed a sizable audience base with 67.5 million subscribers only months after launching his account.
“Honestly, I thought you were gonna do 20-30 million in the first month,” MrBeast said, per TMZ Sports. “When you did 60, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ The most ever gained before in a month was 20 million, and that was us.”
Between all of his social media accounts, Ronaldo surpassed 1 billion followers in September and became the first person ever to hit that benchmark.
MrBeast might want to take a few pointers.
