Cristiano Ronaldo is just like the rest of us - after you remove his striking good looks, millions upon millions of dollars, legions of fans, and chiseled physique, of course.

The Real Madrid megastar told Spanish magazine Libero that his greatest fear in life is one that's likely shared by many people throughout the world.

"My greatest fear is dying young," he said, as translated by Marca. "I don't want to die young. I want to die an old man, at 80 or 90 years old."

The Portuguese icon, 30, went on to discuss his time away from the pitch, insisting that he does his best to keep things "as normal as possible."

"I try to do normal things with my family, my friends, my son."

He admitted the latter is his favourite way to enjoy his free time.

You and Cristiano Ronaldo have more in common than you ever thought.
