The Portuguese superstar, who will turn 40 next month, attended the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai in December as he was named Best Middle Eastern Player as well as the Top Goalscorer of All Time.
Footage has now emerged of him being approached by a young boy holding a football shirt, ball and pen while he sat in his chair at the ceremony.
The boy was quickly spotted by a member of security who rushed over to try and stop him from getting close to Ronaldo.

But Ronaldo quickly waved the security guard away and took the pen from the boy before signing his ball and shirt.
The young child, who appeared a littler nervous as he met his hero, could then be seen starting to rush off without taking his pen with him.
Fortunately, Ronaldo stopped him and handed the pen over before smiling to himself as the boy ran back to his family with his memorabilia signed.
The heartwarming video has proved a hit on social media, with fans impressed by Ronaldo taking time out to give the child a moment he is unlikely to forget in a hurry.
