Cristiano Ronaldo tells UK journalist "Someday, someone's gonna kill you!"

It's been a trying week for the Real Madrid star who is in holiday in New York following his poor World Cup, after news broke that he'd fathered a secret child and news and pictures also broke of Cristiano's latest love interest, Irina Shayk.

With so much tabloid interest in the latest Ronaldo developments, one British journalist got a little too close to the world's most expensive footballer and Ronaldo was quick to respond.

Badgering Ronaldo over whether he'd "come forward and release the mother's name" of his child, soon Ronaldo snapped back as he was waiting to catch a lift. The 25-year-old fired back "Someday, someone's gonna kill you! Be careful."

The journalist was quick to respond though, countering with the line "Someone's probably gonna break your legs in a nasty tackle! Could be Rooney. You never know!"

Ronaldo looked and laughed.
