YouTube streamer "IShowSpeed" was left ecstatic after receiving an actual life-sized Cristiano Ronaldo figurine from fellow streamer Adin Ross on the occasion of the former's 18th birthday.

The statue was around 6'2", which is pretty much the exact height of Ronaldo. Furthermore, Adin managed to procure a football signed by the Portuguese player, along with a certificate of authenticity.

This is, of course, not the first Ronaldo-signed item IShowSpeed has acquired. In November 2022, Ronaldo Jr. (the duo had been talking over Snapchat) gifted Darren an autographed Manchester United kit.

For those wondering, an autographed Ronaldo shirt or ball can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the condition and significance of the article in question.

As mentioned earlier, the figurine was not the only gift Darren got. Adin surprised the streamer with a football autographed by the Al-Nassr FC number seven. Reacting to it, the Ohio-born creator said:

Confirming that it was indeed a ball signed by the Portuguese, Adin went on to show a certificate of authenticity. Adin asserted:

"No bro, it's real, look, that's his signature. Where is it? right here. I swear. His hands were on this ball. I promise you everything, he signed it. I promise you it's not fake. Look, there, a whole card, it's an authenticity card."
