4 Jonathan:
Eighteen years old and you‟d already left home at twelve I think to go to Lisbon. So you are used to living with mom but coming here and meeting British people and having to what we saw Alex
Ferguson. That must have been quite a shock in some ways I mention.
Cristiano: Not really, it was the key why I‟m moving here to England and because I had I remember the conversation with him when we play a Sporting against Manchester and we are the a quick shot and he tell me, listen I‟m
interesting on you I want that you enjoying as we in Manchester, it was a key. So its unbelievable person they treat me a very good is as I say many times he‟s like a father for me in football.
So I have to appreciate what he did for me. I past six years in
03.47 – 04.54 Cristiano explains why he decided to
move to
England and stated that Sir Alex Ferguson is the most important figures for him in football.

Manchester, very good, I win many titles in terms of collective and individual some it was unbelievable timing for me here in England.
Jonathan: But your English now it‟s very good.
Cristiano: Well, I try my best you know.
5 Jonathan: You talk about that in the film. Why do the film who came to use them? How did it added the film when all that happen? And what was it that made you want to do it?
What did you want to share what message you want to send down?
Cristiano: Well basically when the universal coming to me and to my team say, listen, I'm interesting to do the commentary about you. It was like in the
beginning and I just I mean shocked. Movie about me?
Jonathan: Why me? Why not Lionel Messi?
Cristiano: Yeah because they are
07.32 – 08.41 Jonathan Ross was curious about
Cristiano‟s movie. He wants to know what makes the producer desires to
make a
documentary film about Ronaldo.

looking for the best player in the world.
And I think the end of the day, the last results it's good.
I'm not shows something fake, it's me the people who really know me.
My friends and my family and then they're not going to surprise but I did the movie for my fans as you know the guy who have more followers it's me not by
coincidence is because people like me yeah, probably.
6 Jonathan: Yeah, what you gonna do about that?
Cristiano: But he changes his mind every second you know yeah kids.
Jonathan: How old is he now?
Cristiano: Five.
09.34 – 09.40 Jonathan is asking
Cristiano‟s son desire about wanting
to be a
goalkeeper.

7 Jonathan: How old is he now?
Cristiano: Five.
Jonathan: Okay.
Cristiano: Yeah five. And it changes mind all the time but going to be whatever you want and I'm not I'm not I don't make pressure because my father's and my mom never
09.40 – 09.52 Cristiano stated that he
gave a
freedom to his son, about what he wants to be in the future.
Flouting a Maxim of Quantity
make it pressure to me so I'm not going to do some way.
8 Jonathan: What about Messi?
Cristiano: No problem. If you‟ll do that it's because he is smart you know, he is a good players.
Jonathan: That's fair enough, that's a good point. Your mother obviously is a hugely important part of your life, she figures quite heavily in the movie. She's a passionate supporter, she loves whole family you can see that.
But one thing that amazed me is that she says in the film and you're there that you were an unwanted child she didn't want to keep you.
10.21 – 10.53 Previously, Jonathan showed the pictures of Rooney‟s son that has a temporary tattoo of figures of Cristiano Ronaldo on his arms. And he asked to Cristiano what if his son do
the same
thing? With the Messi figures on his arms.

9 Jonathan: That must be a shocking thing the first time you hear that. That must be…
Cristiano: No.
Jonathan: But for you to hear that I know I know it happens a lot.
Cristiano: That means nothing in
10.54 – 11.04 Jonathan is asking
Cristiano‟s feeling when he knows that actually he is an unwanted child.
Violating a Maxim of
Quality
my mind. Nothing.
10 Jonathan: You see in the film how stressed she gets.
She's very involved in your career when she sees you playing. I mean it's almost too much for her sometimes.
Cristiano: Too much.
Jonathan: Yeah and she takes tranquilizers to help her get through this. How does that affect you though knowing you're playing but knowing she is going to that as well does that ever figure in your mind doing a match or…
Cristiano: No, I just make a rule.
Big games you know, she cannot watch. It‟s true.
Jonathan: Yeah.
11.04 – 11.31 In Ronaldo‟s movie, his mother
definitely has a huge effect to Cristiano‟s career. She cares so much with him. The movie also tells that his mother has a problem with her health.
Flouting a Maxim of Quantity
11 Jonathan: And how important is she to you now?
For example, if someone if you had a friend who didn't show love to your mother respect your mother, how long would they stay a friend for?
Cristiano: They‟re never going to be
11.42 – 12.04 Cristiano concludes that all of his friends have to respect his mother as well as they respect him. Because she has an important role in Cristiano‟s career.
Flouting a Maxim of Manner
with me next to me because I have security and making me sleep.
So it's something.
12 Jonathan: Okay okay. Let me ask you this. Once again this is
touched upon in the film of course you have never
revealed and I don't think you have intend to reveal or share the identity of the mother of your son? Ok Cristiano‟s mother.
And the thing that occurred to me watching the film was your mother is so central and important to your life but he does not have that
relationship with his mother.
Cristiano:
Mmm…
Jonathan: Surely that must concern you.
Cristiano: For me is not is not a problem. Are you see in the world's many kids don't have mom and don‟t have dad or dead as die your mom's died on they beat him up.
Cristiano‟s dad,
12.07 – 13.01 Jonathan is wondering why he never reveals the identity of the mother of Cristiano‟s
son. And
asking about the life of Cristiano‟s son in the future without his biological mother.
Flouting a Maxim of Quality
unbelievable dad.
And grandfather, grandmother have support of my family.
Jonathan: Yeah.
13 Cristiano: Great.
Of course it's so will be like why you don't listen some points in the life it's private and people have to respect the privacy of the people you know when
Cristiano are going to grow up I'm always always going to say this to him because he deserve. But I'm not going to say because people want me to say.
Jonathan: Yeah.
You don't have to know you don‟t owe the world an explanation is that you obviously feel that you without him the truth and be happy what is you think I mean I presumed he a sweaty but when will you share with him?
Cristiano: I'm not worried about that be honest. You're going to understand his daddy you gotta understand I'm sure one hundred
13.02 – 13.59 Cristiano stated that let it be his privacy in his life. Because every people have to respect someone‟s privacies. He added that someday he will give an explanation to his son about his biological mother at the right time.

percent, hundred percent you're going to understand me. I'm going to say the time when I feel that is the right time. I don't know 10 11 12 I don't know. Let's see.
14 Jonathan: You know your son, the life he has in many ways but not always but in many ways could not be more different from the life you had at his age. When you're five years old you on Madeira is that right?
Cristiano: Yes.
Jonathan: The Small Island, Portuguese island. I guess how many cars did your father have when you‟re five?
Cristiano: Small cars I mean, at home.
Jonathan: Toys?
Cristiano: Yeah, toys.
Jonathan: But do you have an actual car?
Cristiano: No, no.
14.00 – 14.23 Jonathan is asking about Cristiano‟s life when he was five and lived in the small Portuguese island named Madeira.
Flouting a Maxim of Relation
15 Jonathan: He didn't even have a car. How many cars do you have right now?
14.25 – 14.32 Jonathan measures the property of Cristiano by asking how
Flouting a Maxim of Quality
Cristiano: I don‟t know.
Jonathan: That's that that's a…
Cristiano: Yes, I don't know.
many cars that he has in his house.
16 Jonathan: The thing that I took away from the film as much as
anything else was the closeness and the the love you have for him and he asked for you it's very sweet very special scene. This is Cristiano with his son in the film.
That's not me if you could do that within when he's 20 on your back then I'll be
impressed. That‟s real training, that‟s what Rooney does.
What about other aspects your personal life what about is there any special someone in your life right now?
Cristiano: Have you?
Jonathan:
Mmmm… and and all of the few specials?
Cristiano: I have to figure out.
Jonathan: Yeah with you at any…
you figured out ok.
16.01 – 17.09 Based on the movie,
Jonathan expresses how close Cristiano with his son.
Cristiano also hiding the identity of the person that close to him while being
asked by
Jonathan.

Do they know they're competing?
Cristiano:
Someone‟s know yeah.
17 Jonathan: Okay.
You must be exhausted. But do you have is it hard meeting people and obviously you're may I say this you're very beautiful man.
Cristiano: Well, I‟m normal.
17.10 – 17.26 Jonathan expresses his admiration with Cristiano that has a lot of admirers out there.
Flouting a Maxim of Manner
18 Jonathan: This is normal but slightly below. But not your attractive man but I wonder would be attention with the focus on your life from with the interest from the press and so on is it tough for you to make that first move to trust them on the first time?
Cristiano: Well it's not easy of course not to speak serious. It's not easy I know fifty percent they approached is for interesting it's not just me but all the people who are famous, they have this kind of problems then another way I think
17.29 – 18.18 Jonathan is asking about how he would react with the woman that express their interests to him.
Flouting a Maxim of Manner
I'm a confidence guy. I'm tall, athletics, so I have nice body but you know so I think sometimes other fifty percent it's because you know.
Jonathan: Because they like you.
Cristiano: Yes, I feels good.
19 Jonathan: It's weird because they look different on me. Could you maybe just do one to be slightly more or less the kind of advice. How do you like watching the world for English
footballers? Who do you enjoy watching play in the British teams right now?
Cristiano: Well, I‟m gonna support for Manchester United.
Jonathan: Would you have to come back to Manchester United?
Cristiano: As I say many times, I'm very comfortable in Real Madrid now, I feel happy.
Jonathan: But that's kind of what you always wanted to be really
19.35 – 20.35 Jonathan asked about which clubs that he wants to join in the future after Real Madrid.
Flouting a Maxim of Manner
wouldn't it?
Cristiano: Yeah, of course. But as people now are like Manchester United, I love that club but future, nobody knows but right now I feel good and I feel happy in Real Madrid.
