I Faked Being Ronaldo In Public
Airrack
0:00 This is me attempting to fool the public
0:02 into believing that I'm actually Cristiano Ronaldo.
0:07 And what happens next might shock you.
0:13 Over the past 9 months,
0:14 I've been crafting the greatest celebrity prank the world has ever seen.
0:18 Disguised as the most famous man alive, Cristiano Ronaldo,
0:24 I spent $20,000 to create the most [music] hyper realistic mask of all time.
0:31 Oh my god.
0:31 The only problem, my friend Tyler is
0:33 convinced this prank is [music] going to fail.
0:36 No chance.
0:37 So, the goal is simple.
0:38 Find out if I can actually fool the world
0:41 into thinking I'm the real Ronaldo and prove Tyler wrong.
0:45 Starting with our first test.
0:47 Nou.
0:47 I have tried to get reservations there months
0:49 in advance when my girlfriend had been told no.
0:51 [clears throat] The most exclusive restaurant in the entire city.
0:54 I do not have a reservation, but I do have hyperrealistic mask.
0:57 This guy right here and two bodyguards.
0:59 And if you guys thought the mask wasn't enough,
1:01 I hired real paparazzi to swarm me the moment I stepped out of the car.
1:05 So, let's see what happens.
1:07 All right, the boys just headed in to try
1:08 to go and get a table with absolutely no reservation.
1:11 Let's see what happens.
1:12 How's it going?
1:13 [music] Can we get a table for No reservation?
1:16 No big clientele is coming right now.
1:21 Zero shot these guys do this.
1:23 First, give me a second.
1:24 I think we're setting something up right now.
1:26 Okay, the table's ready.
1:28 Okay, cool.
1:28 Thank you so much.
1:30 Table ready for four.
1:31 Let's do it.
1:37 Ronaldo, how's it going, man?
1:52 [music] Somehow we successfully got in without a reservation
1:55 and the staff walked us straight to our [music] table.
1:58 Ronaldo, we're going to sit right here.
1:59 We're going to sit right here.
2:00 They said right this way, Ronaldo and sat us down here at the booth.
2:03 I cannot believe this is working.
2:04 And once [music] we were comfortable,
2:06 we were kindly greeted with some complimentary drinks.
2:11 Oh, and if you're wondering who this handsome fellow sitting next to me is,
2:14 this is Vic in the game.
2:16 He specializes in fake celebrity pranks and public chaos.
2:20 So, today he's the boss,
2:21 helping me trick the entire city of LA with me as Ronaldo.
2:25 They know the difference between a real celebrity [music] and a fake celebrity,
2:27 but they've never seen one of these.
2:31 If we got in here this easily,
2:33 I'm actually scared for what's going to happen the rest of this video.
2:36 Even though everything was going perfectly,
2:38 I could tell the longer we sat there,
2:39 the more people were starting to take a closer look.
2:42 So, after celebrating with some signature Nou chocolate cake,
2:46 I can't I can't eat this.
2:47 I'm just realizing I cannot even eat that.
2:49 We [music] decided to dip out of there and not below our cover.
2:52 Thank you so much.
2:52 Have a good one.
2:54 You all right?
2:57 We're good.
2:57 We're good.
2:58 Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
3:03 Bro, we just walked out there on a Sunday night,
3:08 peak hours, and he just handed us a table.
3:10 There's one guy I have to rub this in the face of.
3:14 I'm joking.
3:15 Yo.
3:16 Yo, I just wanted to call and let you know how good Nou
3:18 was because we just got in without a reservation at all as Ronaldo.
3:23 Yeah,
3:24 100%.
3:24 With my awesome mask.
3:26 I feel like I could just walk into Nou and be like,
3:27 "Hey, can I get a table?" And I get a table.
3:29 You look like Ronaldo if he gained like 80 lbs and became an alcoholic.
3:33 It's not [laughter] convincing.
3:35 Maybe head over to Universal so uh they can actually see
3:37 your face in the light and kick you out for being an imposter.
3:39 If you if you drew a crowd at Universal, I'd actually be pretty impressed.
3:44 Even though fooling Nou was a wild success, this was not enough for Tyler Mafia.
3:49 We are at Universal the theme park right now.
3:52 It is absolutely packed here.
3:54 I obviously have the world's most realistic mask.
3:57 I'm banned here.
3:58 Are you actually?
3:59 No, I'm just kidding.
3:59 [laughter] I'm actually banned here.
4:01 So,
4:01 are you actually?
4:03 Yeah.
4:02 Let's see what happens.
4:03 So, I got suited up [laughter] and we made our way to the front gates.
4:09 We're walking into Universal right now.
4:11 We're going to see how far we can get.
4:13 Pretty cool so far.
4:14 Pretty cool so far.
4:15 Now, Mafia, in order to get into Universal Studios,
4:18 you have to walk through this area
4:19 filled with shops and restaurants called CityWalk.
4:22 And on the way, I thought it would be pretty funny
4:23 if a photo leaked of Ronaldo pounding a pint of ice cream.
4:26 So, I made a quick pit stop into Ben& Jerry's.
4:29 Ronaldo is actually not going to Ben and Jerry ever.
4:32 [laughter]
4:33 But while waiting for my ice cream, people outside started to take notice.
4:38 Got some people looking.
4:46 Look at this.
4:47 Look at this.
4:47 Look at this.
4:49 Look at that, guys.
4:50 This crowd started [music] to get bigger and bigger.
4:54 Bro, I can't believe Ronaldo in LA.
4:58 Ronaldo, let me take a picture, man.
4:59 And that's when security arrived.
5:04 Let me take one picture, man.
5:06 We [music] weren't even close to the gates of Universal yet,
5:08 and the crowd was already getting insane.
5:11 So, naturally, Vic decided to add [music] fuel to the fire.
5:15 Ronaldo.
5:15 Yo, Cristiano Ronaldo.
5:17 It's Cristiano Ronaldo.
5:18 Cristiano Ronaldo inside right now.
5:19 Ronaldo.
5:20 What's good,
5:21 bro?
5:21 What is God doing?
5:22 It's Cello Ronaldo.
5:23 Did you just get into my Cello Ronaldo?
5:28 Ronaldo.
5:28 Ronaldo.
5:30 Ronaldo.
5:31 You want to take a picture with him?
5:33 Even in the pouring [music] rain, the crowd kept growing and growing.
5:37 So, security told us they were going to have
5:38 to give us an [music] escort out of there.
5:41 Right.
5:41 Poor road under the park.
5:44 Yeah.
5:44 Okay.
5:45 All right.
5:46 It's working.
5:46 It's working.
5:47 Security [music] is actually giving him an escort.
5:49 Yo, Ronaldo, let me take a picture.
5:51 Ronaldo.
5:56 Everyone's going berserk.
5:56 Everyone's going berserk.
6:01 Oh my god.
6:03 Hundreds of people were following me like I was lease on Algay.
6:06 So we just dipped into the closest store that we could find.
6:09 Starbucks is coming up on your left.
6:10 You want to hit it though?
6:11 We're going to hit Starbucks [music] real quick.
6:13 We're in Starbucks right now.
6:16 This is going phenomenally well.
6:18 There's security right there.
6:19 Right there.
6:20 They are not messing around this time.
6:24 It's really him.
6:25 Yeah, that's who we got.
6:27 Yeah, that's him right there.
6:28 No way.
6:31 It's working so well.
6:32 Oh my gosh.
6:36 Oh, that crowd of people out there is thanks to this mask.
6:39 There's General Ronaldo going in there.
6:41 Yeah.
6:41 Yeah, he's getting some coffee right now.
6:43 But it's also thanks to WP.
6:45 A few months ago, I actually started my business
6:47 on WP where we connect creators to clippers.
6:49 We already [music] have dozens of paying customers.
6:51 And the craziest part is it only took me a few days to set this up.
6:55 There's a dude in the store next.
6:59 There's over 25,000 people who have made their first $100 online using
7:04 Yeah, it's Cristiano Ronaldo.
7:05 Yeah.
7:06 Really?
7:06 Yeah.
7:06 I'm trying to capture a video of him right now.
7:08 This kid makes $14,000 a month building Fortnite maps.
7:13 This guy made $68,000 selling boooos.
7:18 We don't know who you guys are.
7:20 So, you guys, so Mafia, I'm challenging you to do it, too.
7:23 With the 5day Who Launch Challenge,
7:26 you'll go from idea to making your first $100 online,
7:29 even if you've never sold anything before.
7:31 We'll help you find your idea, build your first product,
7:34 launch your store, and make your first sale.
7:36 It's free to join, and it only takes 5 days.
7:39 Dozens of you guys have already won the challenge.
7:42 What you guys want, bro?
7:44 What you [music] guys want?
7:45 You don't need followers.
7:45 You don't need tech skills.
7:46 Just click the link in the description,
7:48 join the challenge, and let's see what you can build.
7:50 Okay, we're going back in.
7:52 Guys, I hadn't even made it through the entrance,
7:54 and security was starting to freak out.
7:59 But I didn't buy this overpriced iced pumpkin spice latte for nothing.
8:02 [music] So, instead of heading back to the car,
8:05 we made our way deeper into the park.
8:11 Oh, there he is.
8:11 There he is.
8:12 All right, they're escorting them.
8:13 They're escorting them.
8:13 They're escorting.
8:14 Oh, it escalated so fast.
8:16 There was like no people to like a thousand people in the street.
8:19 Come down this way.
8:19 Come down this way.
8:20 We're going to take your shortcut a lot faster.
8:22 Security was not happy [music] that we were just ignoring them,
8:25 but this crowd was getting bigger by the second.
8:28 So, I decided to camp out in one last
8:30 store just to see how crazy this could get.
8:33 Yeah.
8:33 You want to try to go back?
8:34 I'm trying to maneuver through the crowd.
8:36 It's getting too crazy.
8:37 Mafia.
8:37 When we started this prank, Tyler had zero belief this would actually work.
8:41 But people were convinced.
8:42 They were actually in the presence of the actual Cristiano Ronaldo.
8:46 It's Ronaldo.
8:48 See, just Ronaldo.
8:51 Everyone believes that it's Cristiano Ronaldo inside this store.
8:54 We need the traffic moving.
8:55 We cannot stay nice.
8:56 I NEED A PICTURE OF RONALDO.
8:57 But with security threatening to call the cops, we were forced to [music] leave.
9:01 GET AWAY.
9:01 PLEASE GET AWAY.
9:04 OH, there he is.
9:05 There he is.
9:06 Ronaldo.
9:08 Ronaldo.
9:09 Ronaldo.
9:11 Let's go.
9:11 Let's go.
9:12 The car is over there.
9:13 Cristiano Ronaldo.
9:14 Oh, really?
9:15 Yeah.
9:15 He was there right now.
9:16 Okay, you guys are going to stay right here.
9:16 Are you guest?
9:17 No.
9:17 Are who you with media?
9:19 It's Cristiano Ronaldo.
9:21 Yeah, Cristiano Ronaldo.
9:22 Yo, Ronaldo.
9:23 Ronaldo.
9:26 What?
9:26 That was at least a good thousand people waiting outside for Ronaldo.
9:30 Bro, that was so He took like 30 minutes in the dang Starbucks.
9:33 [laughter] It unfortunately worked so well.
9:36 We never made it into the amusement park.
9:38 Dang it.
9:39 I wanted to write Harry Potter [music] as Cristiano Ronaldo.
9:41 I was really hoping.
9:42 Oh my god.
9:42 Ronaldo.
9:44 I I do have one guy that I have to, you know, call.
9:47 Hey, buddy.
9:48 Hey, buddy.
9:48 Just got trespassed from Universal after 1,000 people stormed me and forced
9:54 me out of the park because they thought I was Cristiano Ronaldo.
9:57 Baby,
9:58 you got lucky, buddy.
9:59 You got real lucky.
9:59 Go to the mall.
10:00 Walk into like a Gucci store or some like high-end store.
10:02 They're going to laugh at your face.
10:04 You're going to be like, "Oh, there's an idiot in a mask."
10:06 You're wrong and you should lose subscribers because of it.
10:10 I'll call you at the mall, buddy.
10:11 Okay.
10:13 I hate that guy.
10:14 He has no faith.
10:15 We're headed to the Gucci store.
10:16 If it's going to fail, it's going to be here.
10:18 That's right.
10:18 There was still one final test bigger than all the rest
10:21 of finally convinced Tyler of the power of my Ronaldo mask.
10:25 The mall.
10:26 For our final location,
10:27 I was so confident in this disguise that fooling a few people wasn't enough.
10:31 I wanted to shut down an entire mall and send this whole place into total chaos.
10:36 So, to pull this off, the plan was simple.
10:38 I'm going to walk around to four different stores in this mall.
10:40 Meanwhile, my boys are going to rile up the crowd,
10:43 convince everyone that I'm Ronaldo,
10:45 and [music] hopefully this makes a snowball
10:46 effect causing this place to go into pandemonium.
10:49 All right, I'm headed in right now.
10:50 It's go time.
10:52 I call that chopped Ronaldo.
10:54 Don't sugar.
10:55 Once my inside men made their way into the mall,
10:57 we immediately ran into our first problem.
10:59 I don't know.
10:59 I already see security.
11:00 Look at him.
11:01 I think uh we're already getting spotted.
11:02 I think they know me.
11:03 It's cuz this is the one we got kicked out of.
11:06 Security was already getting suspicious, but before they could shut it down,
11:09 Vic gave me the cue to come in.
11:14 I thought I heard Ronaldo's going to be here.
11:19 It's all over Twitter.
11:21 Oh, Ronaldo's going to be here.
11:24 We estimate this way cuz like it's the busiest area.
11:32 Let's see.
11:32 But people are already starting to believe it.
11:34 So far, no one was really reacting, but that was going to change.
11:38 All right, he's coming.
11:38 He's coming.
11:39 He's coming.
11:39 Let's try to shut it down the best that we can.
11:43 Ronaldo, do you think I can get a quick picture?
11:45 Ronaldo, quick picture.
11:46 Quick picture.
11:47 Thank you.
11:48 I appreciate it.
11:50 Bro, is that Ronaldo?
11:51 Bro, can I take a picture with you?
11:53 Is that back up?
11:54 Back up.
11:54 Back up.
11:54 Back up, bro.
11:55 [music]
11:56 Bro, is that Cristiano Ronaldo?
11:58 Sweet.
11:59 Ronaldo.
12:03 Ronaldo.
12:03 Ronaldo.
12:03 No way.
12:04 Ronaldo.
12:05 Let's go.
12:06 All right.
12:06 I think they're catching on.
12:07 I think they're catching on.
12:08 Ronaldo.
12:08 One picture.
12:09 Hey, can you say hi to Victor?
12:11 Thank you.
12:12 Thank you, bro.
12:13 Is it actually Ronaldo?
12:15 Oh, it's Ronaldo.
12:19 Security was sensing something [music] was up,
12:21 so I used that moment to slide into our first store.
12:24 Ronaldo, come outside.
12:25 How long you been a fan, bro?
12:26 I've been f all my life, bro.
12:29 inside.
12:32 All right, I think it's working.
12:33 People are changing their heads.
12:36 Let's go.
12:38 Come on.
12:41 Oh, Ronaldo's inside.
12:44 Cristiano Ronaldo.
12:45 That's him.
12:45 Yeah, it's Cristiano Ronaldo.
12:47 Ronaldo fam.
12:49 They shut down the store right now just for him, too.
12:50 And they shut down the store.
12:51 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
12:52 Oh, wow.
12:52 It's working really good.
12:54 Within minutes, the crowd was exploding and security had to step in, [music]
13:00 which was perfect timing because the next step in my plan
13:03 was going to send this crowd to the moon.
13:06 Oh, he's coming outside.
13:07 He's coming out.
13:08 OH, HE'S COMING OUTSIDE.
13:10 Come on.
13:11 But before I walk out those doors and get absolutely attacked,
13:14 how about you hit that subscribe button, guys,
13:16 if you're new here, my friends and I work our faces
13:19 off to give you a brand new video every single week.
13:22 And as a bonus, I box a YouTuber every time I go up a million subscribers.
13:27 I'm not messing around.
13:28 At 17 million subscribers, I box Jesse James West.
13:31 And it went a little something like this.
13:35 And at 18 million, I'm boxing whoever you guys comment.
13:38 It will be live here on this channel.
13:40 So, press the subscribe button.
13:43 Ronaldo.
13:44 RONALDO.
13:45 RONALDO.
13:46 RONALDO.
13:47 RONALDO.
13:47 RONALDO.
13:48 One picture real quick.
13:50 Thank you, Ronaldo.
13:52 Oh my god, look at
13:53 Oh, it's working out good.
13:54 It's working out good.
13:55 Yo, Ronaldo, let me take a picture WITH YOU.
13:57 RONALDO, COME ON.
13:58 RONALDO, my boy.
13:59 Walking into the second store, I could feel the entire mall shifting.
14:03 People were watching my every move and the crowd was growing quickly.
14:09 There's a few hundred people outside the store right now.
14:11 I think this is actually working.
14:14 Let me take a picture with you, man.
14:17 Yeah.
14:19 Ronaldo.
14:20 He wants Ronaldo all to himself.
14:22 That's why
14:23 everything was going to plan until this happened.
14:26 Many people followed you inside.
14:27 Keep your head down a little.
14:29 If these fans got too close,
14:30 it would blow my cover and the whole prank would fall apart.
14:32 So, I had to get out of there quick.
14:34 Yeah, perfect.
14:34 Look more down.
14:38 Ronaldo, that's what I'm saying.
14:39 Yeah, this guy knows.
14:42 Oh, there he is.
14:42 There he is.
14:48 Ronaldo.
14:46 Oh, look.
14:47 He's getting a police escort.
14:53 With the crowd going wild, we rushed to find a new store
14:56 with tighter security so fans couldn't get so close.
14:58 We are inside the grocery store right now.
15:00 There's a giant crowd outside.
15:04 All right, it's working.
15:05 Look at this.
15:05 Hey, this is what we do, baby.
15:07 This is what we do.
15:08 Hey, Tyler, we proved you wrong.
15:10 Ronald Ronaldo.
15:11 Can you believe it?
15:12 It's actually Ronaldo, bro.
15:14 Yeah,
15:14 it's Ronaldo.
15:15 Yeah, Ronaldo.
15:17 Go in there before he leaves.
15:19 Oh my, there's so much security because it's
15:22 actually working and we're shutting down their mall.
15:26 Ronaldo 3.
15:28 [screaming]
15:29 Who's in there right now?
15:30 Oh, Ronaldo.
15:32 Ronaldo.
15:32 Yeah.
15:32 Yeah.
15:34 Every time I looked out the window,
15:35 there were more and more people piling up to get a glimpse of Ronaldo.
15:39 Oh god, it's getting intense.
15:40 It's getting intense.
15:40 Which meant security had no choice but to step in.
15:44 Obviously, we have a huge crowd outside.
15:46 It's becoming a hazard.
15:47 I'm sorry.
15:47 [music] Ronaldo.
15:50 Okay.
15:51 Okay.
15:51 We were thinking about taking you guys
15:52 through the back hallways to the valet parking.
15:55 Ronaldo.
15:56 Ronaldo.
15:59 Cuz I think he wants to hit a couple more stores.
16:01 Okay.
16:01 Okay.
16:02 Maybe what we'll do is we'll take you through the back hallway.
16:04 There's a back door and there's St.
16:06 L.
16:07 I could ask him.
16:08 Okay.
16:08 He goes outside.
16:10 Oh my.
16:10 It's getting too crazy.
16:11 like mall mall shut down.
16:16 I know.
16:17 They're asking if they want to get taken through the back to St.
16:19 Lauron because they don't really want you going outside.
16:22 They feel like you're going to get mobed.
16:23 Little did security know I wasn't here to take the easy way out.
16:26 I wanted to go straight out into the mob of Ronaldo fans.
16:29 Give them what they wanted.
16:30 So, I had my bodyguards convince the security to escort me out the front.
16:34 All right.
16:34 Let me talk to the police officer.
16:36 I convinced them to let us through the front.
16:37 He said, "Let us get some police to help out." Okay.
16:40 Okay.
16:41 further.
16:41 Things had gotten so wild that security had to get
16:44 mall police to help escort me to the next store.
16:46 We're going to keep the people on the other side
16:48 and we're going to go through this side like that.
16:50 Okay.
16:51 So, he's going to be on the side of the wall.
16:52 Okay.
16:52 Okay.
16:53 Ronaldo.
16:53 [screaming]
16:56 Ronaldo.
16:56 Is it Ronaldo?
16:58 Yeah.
16:59 Just Ronaldo.
17:01 Ronaldo.
17:00 As we made our way towards the exit, my heart was racing.
17:03 Part of me felt like this prank had gotten out of hand,
17:06 but the other side of me couldn't wait to rub this in Tyler's face.
17:09 And the closer we got to those doors, the crazier the crowd got.
17:25 Oh my god.
17:37 Make a left.
17:38 Make a left.
17:53 As we walked into that fourth story,
17:55 it felt like this was the final come before the biggest storm.
18:02 People are literally creating mobs and getting on people's shoulders.
18:06 Look at this.
18:07 But as soon as I thought I could relax, this happened.
18:10 Hey, what's up, bro?
18:11 How are you?
18:11 Hey, how's it going, brother?
18:12 You guys are the security.
18:16 Oh, okay.
18:18 How did these people find out you guys are here?
18:20 I have no idea, brother.
18:21 Just some guy, some guys come with a camera and ask about photo and that's why.
18:25 While the police were getting suspicious,
18:27 there was another problem outside the store.
18:31 Eric, nobody knows who I is.
18:33 I never heard of that guy.
18:34 You don't know who I is.
18:34 No, who is he?
18:35 Look it up on YouTube.
18:36 If the crowd or security figured out that this was a prank,
18:38 Tyler would be right and this whole thing would fall apart.
18:41 So, we had to get to the getaway car fast.
18:44 Okay, we're ready to go.
18:45 Let's go.
18:47 [screaming] They spotted him.
19:03 They spotted him.
19:03 We got to get out of here.
19:04 We shut it down too crazy.
19:14 Ronaldo.
19:13 Just when I thought I was in the clear,
19:15 an army of kids came charging at me like it was World War Z.
19:18 So, I jumped into the car before I blew my cover.
19:22 Oh my god.
19:23 [laughter] Let's go.
19:26 There's a million kids outside right now as well.
19:33 After successfully pulling off this prank,
19:35 there was still a special someone I needed to show it to.
19:38 That you see all that, buddy.
19:41 I stand corrected, honestly.
19:43 Yeah, that's right, buddy.
19:46 That's actually saying it's working, but that's crazy.
19:49 All right.
19:50 I just want to call you to let you know you were completely wrong.
19:52 All right, I'll take this one.
19:54 Take the L.
19:55 All right.
19:56 All right.
19:59 [groaning and screaming] In the end, you could say I fooled
20:01 the entire city into thinking I was actually [music] Ronaldo.
20:04 And maybe my mask wasn't so bad after all.
20:07 Hey, 150,000 likes.
20:07 [music] We'll run it back.
20:08 I think we do messy this time.
20:12 Yeah.
20:12 150,000 likes.
20:13 That one's going to get messy.
20:14 Yeah.
20:15 [laughter] Stop.
20:16 That was hella cringe.
20:16 I got to go.
20:17 That's pretty much it.
20:19 I'm leaving.
20:20 [music and singing] [music]
