Ronaldo, who believes he is the most famous person in the world, challenged Morgan to compare his fame with that of former US President Donald Trump. However, Morgan listed other figures he considered more globally famous, including Lionel Messi, Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth, and Nelson Mandela. Despite this, Ronaldo maintains that he is more famous than Trump worldwide.
The Portuguese superstar, who has never sought the level of fame he has achieved, admitted that he wanted success but didn't want to be 'this' famous. Ronaldo, who can't go anywhere without being recognised, finds his current status in life quite dull.
