Every football fan knows that countless promising players never quite reach the pinnacle of the sport. One such player is Fabio Paim. He developed his skills at the Sporting CP academy, the same place Cristiano Ronaldo came from, but failed to establish himself consistently.
Throughout his career, Paim was associated with 19 clubs, mostly on loan, including a brief time at Chelsea in 2008, although he never played for their first team. He also represented Portugal at various youth levels.
Paim has made bold claims about what his career could have been. In a podcast with PT Clipes, he mentioned that if he ‘had half of Ronaldo’s mindset,’ he would have joined Ronaldo and Messi at the top of the game. Ronaldo humorously responded with ‘WTF’ and asked, ‘who is this guy?’
After struggling to make it in football, Paim has launched a new career as a porn star. He recently told Thiago Paiva that he wanted to act in a p*rn film, believing it would realize all his dreams. It appears he’s succeeded, with The Sun reporting that he has a s*x tape for sale. In the video, Diana Cu de Melancia, one of the women featured, described Paim as ‘a lion’ and noted he wasn’t nervous about the transition.
She remarked: “We thought he would be nervous, but Fabio turned out to be a lion. He was good at football and is good at p*rn. He’s going to be a success. I hope this film is the first of many with Paim.”
The 36-year-old former footballer said: “Being in front of cameras is challenging, but I did it. I think I have talent for this. I gained a lot of pleasure and fulfilled two dreams, making the film and being with two amazing women.”
Reflecting on his football career’s missed opportunities, Paim previously told The Sun that he ‘was under the illusion he didn’t need to put in the effort’ because he ‘was born with talent.’ He admitted regretting some career choices and noted that, with age, he sees things differently.
“The talent was there, but my mind wasn’t. My focus was on women and partying, not football. My body wasn’t in its best shape and didn’t meet expectations, otherwise, I’d have been at Barcelona or Real Madrid.”
