A former teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken out about his new job as a pornstar.
Fabio Paim, a 36-year-old former Portuguese winger, began his career alongside Ronaldo in Sporting Lisbon’s youth and had a brief loan spell at Chelsea in 2008.
He has now gone into a whole other industry, having stated that he began working as a p0rnstar earlier this month.
Fabio Paim has been making news since his surprising announcement about his new career.
“Here in Portugal [the news about the p0rnographic 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 p0rnographic 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 s£x and still get paid for it.”
Paim was a young footballer who rose through the ranks alongside Ronaldo at Sporting.
However, he believes his mentality let him down as he failed to live up to his full potential before retiring in 2018 without obtaining a single international cap, whereas Ronaldo went on to become one of the greatest 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 asked Ronaldo to award 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?”
