After quitting football, the former Chelsea man and Portuguese international, has began a career in the adult film industry and his co-stars claim he is a 'lion in bed'
Former footballer Fabio Paim, once a promising talent at Sporting Lisbon, is now making headlines for an unexpected career shift into the adult film industry.
Paim, who briefly played for Chelsea's reserves in 2008, has gained attention for his bold declaration that he possesses more football talent than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Paim, who grew up alongside Ronaldo at Sporting Lisbon, stirred controversy last year by claiming that had he been equipped with "half" of Ronaldo's mindset, he would have achieved similar accolades, including winning the coveted Ballon d'Or.
His comments prompted a bemused response from Ronaldo, who quipped on social media, “Wtf??? Who is this guy?”
Now, Paim has turned his sights to adult entertainment, debuting in a pornographic film that has quickly garnered attention.

FKF presidential aspirant Sammy 'Kempes' Owino questions fairness of elections
The former Harambee Stars and Gor Mahia star has explained why he is not sure over the transparency of the upcoming FKF elections.
The film features Paim alongside actress Diana Melancia, who has since praised his performance.
Describing him as “a lion” in bed, Melancia expressed her surprise at his confidence and skill in front of the camera, stating, “We thought he was going to be nervous and it wouldn't work out—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.”
Paim reflected on his new venture, noting the challenges of performing under the gaze of cameras, but he expressed satisfaction with his debut.

'Our AFCON journey is far from over' - Why Sports CS Murkomen is not giving up of Harambee Stars just yet
Sports Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen believes there's still a lot at stake for Harambee Stars as far as their qualification for AFCON 2025 is concerned.
“It's difficult being in front of the cameras, but 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,” he shared.
The former winger’s journey has not been without its controversies. Paim faced serious allegations, including accusations of rape in 2012 and 2015, though neither case led to a trial.
In 2019, he was also arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking but was later cleared of any wrongdoing.
Despite his tumultuous past, Paim's new direction has captured the interest of many.
Whether or not he can live up to his own hype remains to be seen, but Paim is certainly making a name for himself in this bold new chapter.
