Ex-Chelsea star begins new career as a pornstar and co-star says he's 'like a lion' in bed

A former Chelsea player has been dubbed a ‘lion’ in bed after taking up a new career in the adult entertainment industry. Fabio Paim had a brief loan spell at Stamford Bridge in 2008 but only played for the reserves and never made his competitive debut.

The former winger, who came through at Sporting alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, played for several clubs across Europe but never made a significant impact. His career took a nosedive in 2019 when he spent time in prison on drug charges before he was eventually acquitted.

Paim’s playing days are now firmly behind him, with the 36-year-old forging a very different career for himself. He recently shot his first adult movie, which went on sale on Telegram for £65 earlier this week.

Diana Melancia was one of two actresses who starred alongside Paim in the film and was impressed with his performance. She initially thought he would be nervous about being in front of the camera for the first time but was left pleasantly surprised.

“We thought he was going to be nervous and it wouldn’t work out, but Fabio turned out to be a lion,” she told The Sun. “He was good at football and he is good at porn. He’s going to be a success. I hope this film is the first of many with Paim.”

Reflecting on the experience, Paim added: “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.”

Paim made headlines last year when he sensationally claimed he would have been a better player than Ronaldo if he was gifted with a footballing brain.

Speaking on a podcast hosted by PT Clipes, he 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 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.”
