Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest YouTube collaboration with MrBeast, hyped as an "internet-breaking" moment, has failed to meet the sky-high expectations set by fans and the Portuguese football star himself. 

A few days ago, Ronaldo teased fans with the promise that his next guest would “break the internet.” Naturally, many assumed this would be a historic pairing with Lionel Messi. Instead, the featured guest turned out to be MrBeast, the world’s most-followed YouTuber with 331 million subscribers.

In a video titled "I Meet MrBeast to Break the Internet!!", the duo delved into a range of topics, including their careers, personal milestones, and social media dominance. 

MrBeast kicked off the conversation by asking Ronaldo, “What did you think when I started my channel?” before diving into the possibility of the football icon sharing the field with his son someday. 

Ronaldo responded, “It’s amazing to see LeBron doing that! As for me, we’ll see. My son is just 14, but maybe when he’s older, he’ll join me on the pitch. I might play for as long as I can.”

The exchange also featured some awkward moments, when MrBeast showed Ronaldo his extreme challenges—burying himself alive for a week and spending seven days in solitary confinement. 

Ronaldo’s reaction? “You’re crazy! I can’t imagine being stuck in a coffin for a week.” The conversation took another humorous turn when MrBeast joked, “Cristiano, you’re almost 40—about to die,” to which the football legend laughed and said, “I want to keep playing for as long as I can. I want to be like LeBron James—playing into my 40s.”
