Now that he is successful and famous, Cristiano Ronaldo still does not forget the people who helped him when he was a child and his family had many difficulties.
Cristiano Ronaldo recently had an emotional interview with Piers Morgan on ITV’s Cristiano Ronaldo Meets Piers Morgan. Here, the Portuguese star shared many things, including his childhood, and even burst into tears.
Ronaldo revealed that he once had to beg for burgers to survive on Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago and CR7’s hometown. Now that he has achieved success, the Juventus striker is eager to find the McDonalds staff who helped him when he was struggling.
“At that time, there was a McDonald’s next to the stadium. And many times when I was hungry, I knocked on the door of this restaurant and asked for burgers. The sales staff were always Edna and two other girls. I never saw them again after that.”
“I asked my acquaintances in Portugal, they have closed that McDonalds, but if through this interview I can meet my old employees again, I will be very happy. I want to invite them to Turin, or Lisbon to have dinner with me, because I want to repay them” – Ronaldo shared very sincerely.
Also in this interview, Ronaldo burst into tears after watching a video prepared by the program. It was a video that brought CR7 back to the old years, before his father passed away due to the consequences of alcoholism. The day he passed away, CR7 was only 20.
In this video, Mr. Aveiro expressed his pride in his son, even though Ronaldo had just become known after 2 years playing for MU and had not yet made much of a personal mark. This was a video that the 34-year-old striker had never seen before, so he was extremely emotional, recorded before the Euro 2004 tournament, which took place in Portugal.
