Fabio Paim, former partner of Portuguese icon Cristiano Ronaldo, has started a new career in the film industry as a porn star.

The British newspaper Daily Mail reports that the former Sporting CP player began his new career in the first weeks of October 2024.

In an interview with Globo Esporte via Record, she said she always had an interest in becoming a porn star and received offers when she first announced it on a podcast.

“Here in Portugal (news about the pornographic film) is in fashion; everyone is going crazy. Do you know why? Because people don’t take it the wrong way; that’s how I am. In a podcast, I said that my dream was to be a porn actor. I received many offers, I was in the news, I was on the front pages of the newspapers… and I had done nothing,” he said.

He highlighted the benefits of being a porn actor and stated that actors are paid to have sex.

“Since everyone was talking about it, (I thought) let’s make a movie. And I did. I’ll tell you what: It’s nice to have sex and still get paid for it.”

Paim claimed that he was a better player than Ronaldo during his time in Sporting’s youth team, but talent alone could not take him to the top.

“He grew up with me, we spent a lot of time together. I was Sporting’s number one at that time. Cristiano started to be Cristiano when he went to Manchester. Even then, no one 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 it. But talent is not It’s nothing, talent is just a little bit. If you don’t have the rest, you won’t be anyone.

Fabio Paim played for a total of 19 clubs throughout his professional career. He last played for Leixões Sports Club of the Portuguese Liga 2 in 2018.

He played for Chelsea at one point in his career, earning a loan from Sporting to the English team, but only played for the reserves.

The 36-year-old faced serious allegations during his playing career, including rape allegations in 2012 and 2015, but neither case led to a trial.

In 2019, he was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking and served a short prison sentence, but was eventually acquitted.
