Streaming star IShowSpeed has responded to Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson’s warning to not be “weird” around his hero Cristiano Ronaldo if the pair ever meet again.
As IShowSpeed has risen up the ranks of the streaming world, he’s made it clear that he adores Cristiano Ronaldo. The footballing superstar is his hero and Speed regularly wearing his jerseys on stream.
The YouTube star has traveled across the world to watch him and, luckily, has managed to say hello to his hero on a few occasions. Speed was on the verge of tears when they first met, barely being able to ask for a photo.
MrBeast name-dropped him when he linked up with Ronaldo for a few videos at the end of 2024, urging the footballing icon to have Speed on his own YouTube channel.
MrBeast wants IShowSpeed to be “normal” around Ronaldo
Appearing on Dexerto’s Clickbaited podcast, Donaldson warned Speed to not be “weird” if he does get the opportunity to work with his hero. “Speed, when you do hang out with Ronaldo maybe just act normal,” MrBeast said.
Naturally, that made it’s way onto Speed’s radar and he addressed it on February 23.
“Hey, Ronaldo. How was your day today? Oh, you ate Avacado and eggs? Wow, that’s such a protein, high-protein breakfast. Yeah, of course you eat that, you’re one of the best footballers,” he said, pretending to have a conversation with his hero.
“So, Ronaldo, did you hear about the new movie that came out? Interstellar? Like chat! Stuff like that? Like, stuff like that chat?”

Speed has linked up with a number of football stars in the past and he’s typically pretty cool about it. Paul Pogba even mocked his Ronaldo-themed car when they met.
However, meeting your hero is obviously a bit different. Toning it down a notch isn’t what fans would want either.
