When a photo of him and his competitor, Messi, leaked on the internet, it provoked uproar on the internet.

Cristiano Ronaldo, of Manchester United and Portugal, has set another record by becoming the first person to surpass 500 million Instagram followers.

As a consequence, he is presently the social media person with the most followers. This is a direct result of the great football player's recent trend-following.

Ronaldo made headlines last week during an unexpected interview with Piers Morgan in which he insulted Manchester United's owners, manager Erik ten Hag, and club star Wayne Rooney.

Furthermore, he has lately been trending when a picture of him with his colleague Lionel Messi surfaced online. With over 36 million total likes, the image for a Louis Vuitton ad quickly became one of the most loved photographs on any social media network.

Many people's hearts were broken when behind-the-scenes film revealed that the picture had been edited and that the two players were never in the same spot at the same time.

In the now-deleted video published by Louis Vuitton, the players were shown to have taken the photographs separately.
