Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most famous people in the world and by far the most popular man as far as Instagram goes. He has the most followers on the social app, with Messi following closely behind. This is to say the Portuguese maestro is one of the most influential people, not just in football but in the entire global sports community. He’s indeed a global sporting icon.
Ronaldo’s influence on the game has been incredible. The Portuguese striker is a role model to several young players in the game, with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Alejandro Garnacho naming Cristiano Ronaldo as their idol. American YouTube streamer IShowSpeed has taken his fan boy nature to the next level as he sealed a new look with a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired theme.
Cristiano Ronaldo superfan IShowSpeed buys CR7-themed Lamborghini
There’s no bigger Ronaldo fanboy than IShowSpeed. The young American streaming sensation built his whole off-streaming career off of being a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo. He has taken the support to different levels, often seen wearing a Portugal shirt or donning the iconic Manchester United jersey. Whatever Speed is wearing, it usually has the iconic number 7 at the back.
Speed showed off his first car on social media yesterday. Guess how he customized the exterior? Yes, he used a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired theme to further proclaim his love for the Portugal international. The American streamer shared pictures of his new Lamborghini Huracan on social media, with pictures of Cristiano Ronaldo all over the sports car.
The car features a hood with Cristiano Ronaldo doing his iconic “Siuuu” celebration. Portugal’s logo is also on one side of the hood. The car has two primary colors: red and black. Speed posed with the car, donning a Portugal national team tracksuit, and later with his dog, who also wore a number 7 shirt.
Cristiano Ronaldo once met IShowSpeed
For all the love IShowSpeed has for Cristiano Ronaldo, he never got to meet his idol until June last year when AC Milan’s Rafael Leao presented the American streamer with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, thanks to Ronaldo being his international teammate, as they both play for the Portugal national team.
Leao made sure Speed was present at the team’s entrance during an international break, with Ronaldo on international duty. The former Manchester United player got out from his car when Leao introduced Speed to him. Ronaldo acknowledged Speed’s presence by taking his time to initiate a conversation, with Speed looking star-struck and unable to compose himself.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Speed ended up taking several pictures, which the American YouTuber quickly shared with his millions of followers on social media.
