Former professional player Fabio Paim has fulfilled his dream – he has become an adult film actor.

As the 36-year-old Portuguese stated to the press, he was more talented in his time than the famous compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, with whom he trained at the Lisbon "Sporting" academy.

"During a podcast, I mentioned that I dreamed of becoming a porn actor, and I immediately received numerous offers. I was in the news, my image appeared on the pages of newspapers.

I grew up with C. Ronaldo; we spent a lot of time together. Back then, I was number one in the "Sporting" youth team, while Cristiano started becoming Cristiano when he moved to "Man Utd".

At that time, no one knew that the forward would become what he is now. Today, Cristiano is a king, and Paim is nobody.

I had more talent, but talent is irrelevant; it's just a small piece. If you don't have the other components, you will be a zero.

C. Ronaldo should give me one of his "Ballon D'Or" awards. If I had even half of his mindset, fans wouldn't have witnessed the rivalry between Cristiano and Lionel Messi. Then the three of us would have fought for "Ballon D'Ors," and C. Ronaldo wouldn’t have so many,” explained F. Paim, whose professional career did not go well.

After a stint at the "Sporting" youth club, he played for lesser-known teams, and in 2015, he arrived in Kėdainiai, where he defended the honor of the local "Nevėžis".
