Former Chelsea footballer, Fabio Paim opens up on his new career as a p0rnstar, insists he had ‘more talent’ than ex-team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo

 

A former team-mate of Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken out about his new career as a pornstar.

 

 

Ex-Portuguese winger, 36, Fabio Paim began his career alongside Ronaldo in Sporting Lisbon’s academy and had a brief loan spell at Chelsea in 2008.

 

He has now moved into a very different industry, having revealed he started working as a pornstar earlier this month.

 

 

Fabio Paim has been making the headlines since his shock announcement about his new career.

 

 

‘Here in Portugal [the news about the pornographic film] is all the rage, everyone is going crazy,’ Paim said in an interview with Globo Esporte via Record.

 

 

‘Do you know why? Because people don’t take it the wrong way, that’s just how I am. On a podcast, I said that my dream was to be a pornographic actor. I got a lot of offers. I was on the news, I was on the front pages of newspapers… And I hadn’t done anything.

 

 

‘Since everyone was talking about it, [I thought] let’s make a film. And I did. I’ll tell you one thing. It’s good to have sex and still get paid for it.’

 

 

Paim was once a promising footballer after rising through the ranks alongside Ronaldo at Sporting.

 

 

However, he believes his mentality let him down as he failed to live up to his potential before hanging up his boots in 2018 without receiving a single international cap, while Ronaldo went on to become one of the best players of all time.

 

 

‘He grew up with me, we spent a long time together,’ Paim explained as he reflected on his relationship with Ronaldo.

 

 

‘I was Sporting’s number one at that time. Cristiano started to be Cristiano when he went to Manchester. Even then, nobody knew he would become what he is today.

 

 

‘Today Cristiano is the king, Paim is nobody. And people say “oh, he’s a liar, he wasn’t better”. But the truth is that I was better than him and everyone knows that. I had more talent. But talent is nothing, talent is just a little bit. If you don’t have the rest, you’ll be nobody.’

 

During a recent podcast, Paim called for Ronaldo to give him one of his five Ballon d’Ors.

 

‘Cristiano Ronaldo should offer me one of his Ballon d’Ors. I went to Sporting when I was seven years old, I grew up there,’ Paim said on a podcast hosted by PT Clipes.

 

 

‘They were years of glory in which I won everything I could. I didn’t reach where I could have reached, but I marked a generation. If people don’t forget it’s because I marked them.

 

 

‘I said when I was happy that I thought Cristiano Ronaldo could offer me a Ballon d’Or. But it was with humility. If I had half of Cristiano’s head, it wouldn’t 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.’

 

 

Ronaldo hit back with a savage response, writing on Instagram: ‘Wtf??? Who is this guy?’
