ISLAMABAD: (Showbiz Desk) – Pakistani actor Danish Taimoor has responded with humor to the social media criticism over his recent tribute to football legend Cristiano Ronaldo. The actor addressed users who questioned his use of the phrase “grew up watching Ronaldo,” offering a lighthearted clarification through a new Instagram post.
Sharing a fresh photo, Danish explained that he meant he had followed Ronaldo’s career throughout his own adulthood. In his caption, he wrote, “I grew up (from my 20s to my 40s, #43 right now Alhamdulillah) watching Ronaldo’s career. Didn’t know I had to explain what ‘grew up’ means. Hahahahahah. Some of you are fighting grammar harder than your team fights in knockout games. And yes, he’s still the GOAT. Period.”
His playful response quickly gained traction online, with many fans defending the actor and praising his sense of humor. Supporters described the debate as unnecessary, saying his admiration for Ronaldo had always been obvious and that critics had overanalyzed a simple expression.
The clarification follows Danish’s emotional tribute after Portugal’s FIFA Club World Cup exit, where he praised Ronaldo’s remarkable legacy. His statement about having “grown up watching” the football star sparked debate, as some social media users compared the ages of the actor and the Portuguese icon.
A longtime football enthusiast, Danish Taimoor has frequently expressed his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo and has openly supported both the Portuguese superstar and Real Madrid. His latest post reaffirmed that his respect for Ronaldo remains as strong as ever, despite the online criticism.
