PHOTO: He shouted that he's better than Ronaldo! Ex-Sporting player starts career as a pornstar
Fábio Paim – a little-known name to most fans, the 36-year-old former footballer.
Despite having played for Sporting CP, where he briefly trained alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Paim's career never took off in the same way. He was also part of Chelsea's system in London, but never made his debut in either Lisbon or London.
However, Paim has made headlines at least twice. In 2023, the Portuguese midfielder boldly claimed that he was more talented than Ronaldo and that Cristiano owed him one of his Ballon d'Or trophies. Naturally, few took him seriously. Ronaldo himself even reacted, commenting on a post: "Who is this guy?"
Now, a year later, Paim is back in the spotlight. This time, he's making waves by starting a career as a pornstar!
"It was hard to be in front of the cameras, but I did it, and I think I have a talent for it. I had a great time and fulfilled two dreams: starring in a film and spending time with two amazing women."
One of his co-stars also commented:
"He was good at football and good in porn. He’s going to be successful. I hope this is the first of many films with Paim."
It's worth noting that Paim was accused of rape twice: once in 2012 and again in 2015, but neither case went to trial.
In 2019, he was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking. After appearing in court, Paim was held in custody but was ultimately acquitted of all charges.
