Former Lisbon and Portuguese international player Fábio Paim has become a porn star after a failed football career. About five years ago, Paim disappeared from the football spotlight.
Paim began his professional career at Sporting Lisbon alongside Cristiano Ronaldo early in their careers. He was loaned to several teams, and after an unsuccessful four-month loan spell at Chelsea in 2008, he went on to play for various minor teams across several countries without settling anywhere.
The ex-winger made headlines last year after suggesting that he was more talented than Ronaldo and could have won a Ballon d’Or if he had “half” of the Real Madrid legend’s brain.
Speaking on the podcast hosted by PT Clipes, Paim said: “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.
“They were years of glory in which I won everything I could. I didn’t reach where I could have, but I marked a generation.”
