Portuguese ex-footballer who was ‘better than Cristiano Ronaldo’ now enjoying new career as pornstar

The former Chelsea star was described as a "lion" in bed by his co-star

Former footballer Fabio Paim, once hailed as more talented than Cristiano Ronaldo, has recently transitioned into a shocking new career as an adult film star.

Paim, who once played with Sporting CP, Ronaldo’s boyhood club, has described his new venture as fulfilling two of his dreams and has already earned praise from his co-stars in the industry.

Paim’s Ballon d’Or claims

Before venturing into the adult industry, Paim had made bold claims about his football career, stating that he was more talented than Cristiano Ronaldo but lacked the discipline to reach the same heights.

In a podcast interview, he jokingly said, “Cristiano should offer me one of his Ballon d’Ors. If I had half of his brain, it wouldn’t just be him and Messi.

“It would be me, him and Messi and maybe he wouldn't have won the Ballon d'Ors that he has. Maybe one of them was mine.”

Unfortunately, Paim’s claims are only fantasy because his football career never lived up to the potential that many saw in him during his youth.

Despite representing Portugal at U16, U17, U18, U19, U20, and U21 levels, he never made it to the senior national team, and his career took a sharp downward spiral.

From football to adult films

Paim, who had a brief stint at Chelsea in 2008 but only played for their reserves, is now making headlines for his unexpected career move into the pornographic film industry.

Diana Melancia, one of Paim’s co-stars in his debut film, was full of compliments, describing him as a "lion" in bed.

She said, “We thought he might be nervous, but Fabio turned out to be a lion. He was good at football, and he is good at porn. He’s going to be a success.”

The film, which went on sale on Telegram for £65, featured Paim and two actresses, and the former Sporting CP star admitted it was a challenge being in front of the cameras but said, “I did it, and I think I have got talent for this. I got a lot of pleasure and made two dreams come true—making the film and being with two spectacular women.”

Now, with a new path ahead of him, Paim seems to be embracing his latest role with enthusiasm and is already making waves in an industry far from the football field.
