Cristiano Ronaldo returned to international headlines following a new interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, aired on Thursday, November 6, on the program Piers Morgan Uncensored. The 40-year-old Portuguese striker confidently stated that "nobody is more famous" than him, sharing his views on fame and his personal life.
The conversation started when Morgan mentioned President Donald Trump, recalling a moment during the G7 summit in Canada when Trump received a Portugal national team jersey signed by Ronaldo. Morgan noted that both Ronaldo and Trump are likely "the two most famous people on the planet."
With a smile, Ronaldo challenged the idea:
"Let's have a debate for the world: Who is more famous, me or Donald Trump?"
When asked for his opinion, Ronaldo replied without hesitation:
"Me."
He added:
"I think worldwide, even in the smallest islands, they know me more than him... In the world, no one is more famous than me."
Ronaldo confidently claims his global fame surpasses that of Donald Trump, emphasizing his unparalleled recognition worldwide, even in the smallest locations.
