Portuguese football star, Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted to prediction by popular American YouTuber, Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, that he will soon die.
In the words of the Al-Nasir striker, he will be alive until he is 100 years old because he still has decades to live.
It all started when MrBeast stated Ronaldo’s age in a recent video collaboration.
As they discussed, the social media influencer said via SPORTbible, “Almost 40! You’re about to die, what’s it like?”

Responding, Ronaldo laughed off the American’s comment, and emphatically stated: “I’m going to live until I’m 100, just to let you know.”
The Manchester United legend went on to say although people retire from playing football at an early age, he was blessed with a long career.
“In football, this is a long career because most of the time they retire at 33, 34 or 36.” he added.
Ronaldo, who recently hosted the American YouTuber on his channel, however, refused to discuss his retirement plan or when he would call it quit.
