During an interview with Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo shared a touching story from his childhood. He recounted how a McDonald’s employee once invited him to have free burgers, leaving a lasting impression on him.
Ronaldo expressed his gratitude for the kind gesture of the McDonald’s staff and even made a plea to find the anonymous employee, showcasing his humility and appreciation.
Ronaldo reminisced about the time when he was still at his youth club, Sporting Lisbon, where he and his young teammates would visit a nearby McDonald’s and receive food from a kind-hearted woman named Edna and her two colleagues. However, he was unable to find them again after leaving the club.
Many years later, Ronaldo had the opportunity to reunite with Edna. He expressed his gratitude by meeting her, kissing her hand, and thanking her for the kindness she had shown him. Ronaldo gifted her the largest restaurant in Portugal and other presents.
In an interview with a Portuguese newspaper, Edna expressed her happiness and admiration for Ronaldo’s humility. She remarked that she never expected him to remember her, considering herself only a small part of his past.
She expressed joy and pride in witnessing his incredible journey and unimaginable success. Edna praised Ronaldo’s small acts of kindness in the past, which highlighted his outstanding character.
