Cristiano Ronaldo confirms he’s making YouTube video with MrBeast

Following a leaked image that teased the collaboration on November 17, football legend Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed that he’s making a YouTube video with internet star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson.

The news instantly went viral on November 20, 2024, mere days after the leak when Ronaldo’s official YouTube channel showed a preview of a forthcoming video featuring the two celebrities.

Titled, ‘I Meet MrBeast To Break The Internet,’ the upload is scheduled to go live on November 21at 6 AM PT / 9 AM EST.

Fans are divided on this upcoming collaboration, referencing the ongoing controversies surrounding MrBeast and his company.

“I don’t think partnering up with MrBeast right now is a good idea chief,” one said.

“The guy with all those allegations against him?” another pointed out.

“We wanted Messi,” yet another fan lamented.

This latest news comes after a leaked image with some pretty atrocious face censoring revealed that MrBeast and Cristiano Ronaldo would be doing a YouTube collab on November 17.

Despite all of the controversy surrounding MrBeast, he’s still the biggest creator on the platform by a mile. His videos aren’t performing quite as well as they used to, but he still gets tens of millions of views on each upload in a matter of hours.

Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, is relatively new to the space. But he’s such an international superstar that he was able to grow his YouTube subscriber base in record time, hitting almost 20 million subs within 24 hours of creating his channel. He currently sits at 67 million.

The footballer claimed his next collab is going to break the internet, and it was initially paired with leaked images of MrBeast and him standing next to a film set.

Behind the drawn-over censors on their faces, it’s clear to see the two men are MrBeast and Cristiano Ronaldo. Additionally, the person in the middle appears to be holding a Lunchly, further cementing MrBeast’s involvement in the forthcoming video.

Despite being embroiled in various controversies from workplace misconduct to being sued by people working sets for his shows, MrBeast continues to be a media juggernaut that generates millions of views no matter what he uploads.

Additionally, MrBeast’s Lunchly product line has run into its fair share of snags, with many customers finding mold in their meals.

Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, has had stranger crossovers than this. He’s set to guest star in the upcoming fighting game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, though it’s unknown to what extent he’ll be involved and whether or not the footballer will be a playable fighter.
