CRISTIANO RONALDO is launching his own YouTube channel in his latest career venture.
The veteran superstar turns 40 this season.
And with his football career fizzling out at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese icon has announced plans to get in front of the camera.
Ronaldo’s UR YouTube channel features his own signature logo – with the UR looking like his initials CR followed by a play button.
And in a minute-long advert, he appeared in high spirits, laughing throughout the promo.
Ronaldo said in the voiceover: “I have a big surprise for you, the new YouTube channel.”

The clip then showed various highlights which fans can look forward to, including Ronaldo playing games with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, behind-the-scenes content, practising his trademark celebration and taking on challenges.
He also promised to give an insight into his family, education and businesses – as well as interviewing “surprising” guests.
Ronaldo said: “I am very happy to make this project come to life.
“It has been in my mind for a long time but finally we have the opportunity to make it real.

“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 also looking forward to sharing conversations with guests that will no doubt surprise people!”
The channel went live on Wednesday afternoon, with the bio telling fans to “SIUUUbscribe and join the CR7 family”.
Immediately, nine videos were uploaded.
They included ‘Meet Georgina’, a free-kick challenge with his son and a ‘This or That’ video where he had to choose between Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods as well as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Then a few minutes later, a Mr & Mrs Quiz featuring Cristiano and Georgina went live.
And they even hinted at confirming his marriage to the glamorous Spanish model by introducing her as his “wife” while both of them wore rings on their ring fingers.
Aside from his lucrative £175million-a-year Al-Nassr contract and the new YouTube channel, Ronaldo also owns two hair transplant clinics and a chain of CR7 hotels.
