Cristiano Ronaldo has a huge fan following. He is the planet’s most followed person on Instagram. While he has attained splendid success in his career and has become one of the biggest soccer players, there are several things he might want to change. A couple of months ago, he met Jordan Peterson, the Canadian author, and clinical psychologist. In an interview, Jordan Peterson went on to explain his experience with the star player and the hardship he faced. Cristiano Ronaldo is among the highest-paid athletes in the world. He has achieved the success he dreamed of. However, the hunger to perform and score in matches is what keeps him going in the sport.


Ronaldo is going through a rough time and he is in the market as a free agent after parting ways with Manchester United. Arguably, his last FIFA World Cup didn’t turn out as he hoped and Morocco knocked Portugal out of the tournament.

While Ronaldo is very successful and lives the life, many would dream of. However, he also doesn’t have many advantages that come with being normal. Almost everybody with an internet connection and a slight affiliation with sports knows who Ronaldo is. He can’t just walk anywhere he wants and has to live, keeping everything in mind.

While talking about his meeting, Jordan Peterson said, “He really, in some sense, can’t go out because he is so famous. So, nothing in his life is… He doesn’t have the advantages of someone who is ordinary… You can walk down to your local pharmacy. That’s a big advantage and Ronaldo doesn’t have that. You say well, he got his fortune, and he does and he deserves it as far as I’m concerned… but he lives a circumscribed life.
