At 39, five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has spent over 20 years in the public eye, becoming a global icon beyond football. His CR7 brand has made him a superstar both on and off the field. However, despite living under constant scrutiny, few people truly know what Ronaldo is like when the cameras are off. His international teammates, however, have had the privilege of glimpsing the more relaxed side of the Portuguese legend, revealing that he’s not as serious as his public image suggests.
Bruno Fernandes, a former Manchester United teammate, shared on Ronaldo’s YouTube channel that, “There are many things people don’t know about him. You need to be around him to understand his life, but… he’s really good at dancing, he has some great dance moves.”
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva shared some of Ronaldo’s “secrets,” saying, “People know he’s very disciplined and works at the right times, with everything in its place. But one thing they may not know is that he doesn’t eat frequently. He only eats lunch and dinner, no small meals in between, which is an interesting fact about him.”
Both Fernandes and Silva also reflected on their first encounters with Ronaldo. Fernandes recalled his emotional experience when he first joined the national team: “When I arrived, I was surrounded by players I admired, and I was shy. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. When Ronaldo arrived, he greeted me and said, ‘I’ve seen your games, you’ve been scoring goals, playing very well for Sporting.’ I couldn’t believe it—this was the first time I’d met him, and I thought, ‘How does he know my name?’”
Silva, who started his national team career a decade ago, reminisced about a humorous incident: “I remember one of my first training camps when I didn’t know where to sit. Some of the older players told me I could sit in a free spot, but it turned out to be Ronaldo’s seat. When he got on the bus, he laughed and said, ‘You can sit here with me.’ I was just a 20-year-old kid, and the others had played a prank on me.”
As of 2024, Ronaldo remains an integral part of the Portugal team, with an impressive 216 caps and 133 international goals. Despite continuing his record-breaking career with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, there are speculations that he could play in the 2026 World Cup, extending his illustrious career even further.
