Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed an exciting YouTube collaboration with internet megastar Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson. The news comes after a leaked picture emerged on November 17 hinting at the pairing, sending fans into an uproar. Ronaldo officially teased the video on his YouTube channel on November 20, giving viewers a glimpse at the project that had everyone so hyped.
The upcoming video is titled "I Meet MrBeast To Break The Internet" and will premiere on November 21 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM EST and 7:30 PM IST.
While fans are excited to see Ronaldo partnering with YouTube's greatest creator, some fans expressed concern due to recent controversies revolving around MrBeast.
As one fan claims, “I don’t think partnering up with MrBeast right now is a good idea chief,”
Others were disappointed by the choice of a collaborator. One bluntly said, "We wanted Messi."
The first buzz started with a poorly censored leaked photo posted online featuring Ronaldo and MrBeast on a film set. A third-person in the picture was holding a Lunchly product, hinting that it involved MrBeast.

Although MrBeast’s Lunchly meal line has faced criticism due to reports of mold in products, that hasn't dented his popularity. Known as YouTube Power House, MrBeast's uploads still rack up tens of millions of views within hours despite ongoing controversies, including allegations of workplace misconduct.
Ronaldo’s leap into YouTube
Cristiano Ronaldo is relatively new to the platform but has made a record-breaking entrance. His channel gathered nearly 20 million subscribers within 24 hours of launch and has since skyrocketed to 67 million. Confident about his collaboration with MrBeast, Ronaldo claimed the project would "break the internet."
Ronaldo’s crossover ventures aren’t stopping here. He’s also set to appear in the upcoming fighting game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, but details about his involvement are sketchy.
Will the video live up to the hype?
Both stars come with enormous clout. Ronaldo is an international sporting icon, and MrBeast leads the field on YouTube, although controversy somewhat shadows him. This combination might yield an explosive viewership or split the fans further.
And what do you think? Will this unexpected collaboration deliver on its promise of breaking the internet?
