Cristiano Ronaldo has become the world’s fastest-ever YouTuber dad. It seems he’s not just the GOAT of soccer—he’s the GOAT of social. 

Shattering records

After two decades ruling the world of soccer (although Lionel Messi may have something to say about that title), he’s now styling himself king of YouTube as his channel shattered world records within hours of launching. 

He became the first dad (or first anyone, for that matter) to hit 1 million subscribers in two hours. After a day it hit 10 million, which was another world record for the YouTuber dad.

Indeed, CR7 had broken the world record even before he hit “Upload”.  

The 39-year-old five-time Ballon d’Or winner posted across his social channels that, “The wait is over. My @YouTube channel is finally here! SIUUUbscribe and join me on this new journey.” 

Eventually, breathless fans were treated to his first video that involves Cristiano laughing in true dad style with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez about their most fun secrets in a Mr and Mrs. game. Don’t all laugh at once! 

Regardless of the slow start on the jokes front, Cristiano clearly intends to adopt a fun approach to his new channel. He really does smile a lot.

Dad jokes

We’re hoping that next time he’ll drop in some dad jokes gold standards. Here’s a few to be getting on with:

• What’s the difference between Ronaldo and time?

Time passes

• Why did Ronaldo not bother passing to Cinderella?

Because she ran away from the ball

• Why is Cristiano Ronaldo’s room always clean?

Because he’s not Messi.

• Who is the most famous soccer player from the USA?

Ronaldo McDonaldo

The YouTube channel adds to CR7’s expanding business empire that includes restaurants, fitness centres, jets, clothing and even a hair clinic. 

So you’d better subscribe like everyone else if you want more Ronaldo home groaners. 

Oh, by the way, Ronaldo’s net worth is a cool $600 million.
