After many missed appointments, Speed also met and talked with Cristiano Ronaldo thanks to the help of this player’s son.
After the match between Portugal and Bosnia, Speed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, waited outside the Court of Light. Cristiano Ronaldo stopped the car and personally went down to interact with the American streamer.
Speed could not hide his excitement after being unable to meet his idol many times. He repeatedly said that he was a “big” fan of Ronaldo and showed off Ronaldo tattoos on his biceps. Speed also proposed with Ronaldo to celebrate “Siu” and was approved by the superstar born in 1985.
Ronaldo said he knew Speed’s presence in Portugal through his eldest son Ronaldo Jr: ” My son said he would come here “.
At the end of 2022, Speed went to England to watch the match MU against Fulham. However, he burst into tears when he learned that Ronaldo had stopped playing due to health problems. After that, Darren continued to follow CR7 to Saudi Arabia and now Portugal.
Speed is a well-known content creator on live streaming platforms with more than 17 million followers. The boy born in 2003 is an ardent fan of Ronaldo. In addition, he is also famous for his humorous expressions on livestream.
In a charity match at the end of 2022, Speed scored and excitedly imitated the idol’s “Siuu” celebration but was flagged for offside by the referee.
