Cristiano Ronaldo officially unveiled his YouTube channel and it took him just one hour to hit 1 million subscribers, breaking internet records.

Cristiano Ronaldo became the fastest person to hit 1 million subscribers on YouTube after launching his channel on Wednesday.

The football superstar currently making waves in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr, officially launched his own YouTube channel, marking a new chapter in his expansive career, and it took him just one hour to reach 1 million subscribers.

The channel, named 'UR,' promises to offer fans an intimate glimpse into aspects of Ronaldo's life beyond the football pitch.

Unveiling the channel, Ronaldo shared his excitement in a brief one-minute teaser. "I have a big surprise for you, the new YouTube channel," he said, visibly enthusiastic. The channel's sleek logo combines the 'UR' initials with a play button, cleverly reminiscent of his iconic CR7 brand.

The content on 'UR' will feature a variety of personal and engaging videos. "I am very happy to make this project come to life," Ronaldo stated. "It has been in my mind for a long time but finally we have the opportunity to make it real."

The channel's bio playfully invites viewers to 'SIUUUbscribe and join the CR7 family,' a nod to Ronaldo's famous goal celebration.

So far, nine videos have been uploaded, showcasing a range of content. Highlights include a video titled 'Meet Georgina,' which introduces Ronaldo's partner, Georgina Rodriguez, and their children, as well as a free-kick challenge with his son.

Another engaging video features Ronaldo in a 'This or That' segment, where he chooses between legendary athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. Additionally, a Mr & Mrs quiz featuring Ronaldo and Georgina has also gone live.

Ronaldo expressed his enthusiasm about the new venture, stating, “I have always enjoyed having such a strong relationship with fans on social media and my YouTube channel will give me an even bigger platform to do so and they will learn more about me, my family and my views on many different subjects. I am looking forward to sharing conversations with guests that will surprise people!”

As Ronaldo continues to build his brand beyond football, his new YouTube channel is set to become a significant platform for fans to connect with the football legend in new and exciting ways.
