Father-and-son duos in professional sports are rare but not unheard of. One of the most notable recent examples is LeBron James and his eldest son, Bronny. Cristiano Ronaldo has also expressed interest in the possibility of playing alongside his eldest son, Cristiano Ronaldo Junior, who seems enthusiastic about the idea.

In a new video with MrBeast, where the YouTuber and the Al Nassr star played a game guessing the origins of various quotes, Cristiano Junior joined to help his father. During the interaction, MrBeast asked Cristiano Junior if he wanted to play alongside his dad when he grew up just as LeBron James and Bronny.

“Yeah, yeah. Hopefully,” Cristiano Junior responded. Two weeks ago, MrBeast posed the same question to Ronaldo. “Maybe. I will see. He’s fourteen now,” Ronaldo said, adding, “Let’s see how my legs are doing.”

In soccer, there have been notable instances of father-and-son duos playing together. Brazilian legend Rivaldo played alongside his son, Rivaldinho, in February 2014, just before announcing his retirement a month later.
