Cristiano Ronaldo took part in a press conference earlier before the premiere where he talked about his new movie.
Asked at the press conference why the film does not feature Irina Shayk, the Russian model who he split from last January, Ronaldo said it was because the filmmakers "didn't see a strong part to put in the movie".
He also refused to be drawn on the crisis surrounding suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who is pictured in the film during scenes shot at various Ballon d'Or galas.
"When Cristiano says something it's a huge thing. I'm not going to be involved in these problems," Ronaldo said. "What do you expect me to say?"
The film also reveals that a promise by former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson that Ronaldo would play in 50 percent of the club's games prompted him to move to Old Trafford in 2003.
Mendes says that Ferguson's offer was key in encouraging the winger, then an 18-year-old rising star at Sporting Lisbon, to reject rival offers from clubs including Barcelona and Inter Milan.
Speaking on Monday, Ronaldo said: "When Sir Alex Ferguson says, 'Cristiano, I want you to come to Manchester United, you're going to play 50 percent of the games,' it made me feel comfortable and I said, 'Wow.'
"Because 18 years old, to play 50 percent of the games, for me it's unbelievable. Jorge helped me to take that decision and of course the last word of Sir Alex Ferguson was the key to sign for Manchester United."
A tuxedo-clad Ronaldo was greeted by hundreds of fans when he arrived with his mother and son for the film's official premiere at a London cinema on Monday.
Ronaldo was reunited with Ferguson on the red carpet and hugged the Scot in a warm embrace.
Ronaldo was presented with an award for being the "most liked person on Facebook in the world", while he also attempted to set a record for the most selfies taken in three minutes as he snapped photos with eager fans.
"I'm proud and excited to show off this movie," Ronaldo said. "I did this for the fans, this film is for them."
