Jordan Peterson, the famous Canadian psychologist who has ruffled a lot of feathers in the “woke-sphere” about his stance in favour of free speech and the evils of the radical left and identity politics, has revealed how he became friends with Manchester United football star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo, 37, recently shared a photo of himself alongside the 60-year-old Canadian psychologist and author on Instagram.
The post was captioned by Ronaldo: “Nice to see you my friend! #seeyousoon”.
Peterson replied to the post by writing: “I’ve rarely met anyone who more clearly deserved what they earned. Good to meet you.”
Many people wanted to know just how Ronaldo and Peterson had become pals.
That question was answered by Peterson himself when he was a guest on Piers Morgan Uncensored this week.
Peterson told Morgan: “He invited me to come and see him.

“He’d had some trouble in his life a few months ago and a friend of his sent him some of my videos and he said he’d watched those. Then he read one of my books and found it helpful, he wanted to talk.
“So I went out to his house and we talked for about two hours. He showed me all his equipment for staying in tip-top condition, we talked a bit about his companies.
“But mostly we talked about what he wanted in the future and some of the obstacles that he’s facing while pursuing that. So we had a strategic conversation on those topics for about 90 minutes.”
