Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked fresh debate after claiming in an interview with Piers Morgan that “worldwide, nobody is more famous than me.”
Speaking on his YouTube channel, the Al-Nassr and Portugal star compared his global fame to that of former U.S. President Donald Trump, urging Morgan to conduct a worldwide poll to prove his point. “Do a debate on who is more famous between me and Trump,” he said. “Worldwide, nobody is more famous than me.”
Ronaldo’s remark drew laughter in the studio and mixed reactions online. Supporters cited his unmatched 620 million Instagram followers as proof of his global influence, while critics argued that fame extends beyond football, naming figures like Michael Jackson as more universally known.
Still, the 40-year-old’s statement reflects the confidence that has defined his legendary career and kept him among the most recognizable athletes on the planet.
