Ex-footballer once considered better than Cristiano Ronaldo dubbed ‘lion in bed’ by porn stars after shock career change
THE actresses who star in a new porn film with the footballer once described as a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo have dubbed him a “lion” in bed.
Former Chelsea loan signing Fabio Paim revealed last month he was eyeing a career as an adult entertainer after his hopes of football glory nosedived and he ended up in prison on drugs charges.
The 36-year-old, who was a team-mate of Ronaldo’s at Sporting Lisbon, stars with two women on his porn debut.
After the sex tape went on sale on Telegram for £65, Diana Cu de Melancia, who stars in the raunchy flick said: “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.
“I hope this film is the first of many with Paim.”
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 won 42 caps for Portugal at youth level but was never called up to the senior side.
Ronaldo once revealed he regarded the former winger as the most promising young player in Portugal of his generation.
CR7 famously said after he signed for Manchester United in 2003: “If you think I’m good, just wait until you see Fabio Paim.”
He moved on loan to Chelsea in August 2008 when Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari was in charge but only appeared for Blues’ reserves during a four-month loan spell.
Paim, the son of Angolan parents, was twice accused of rape in 2012 and 2015 – but both cases ended up being archived without him going to trial.
In 2019, he was arrested in Portugal on suspicion of drugs trafficking and remanded in prison after a court appearance.
Portuguese daily Correio da Mana reported at the time he was being investigated over claims he had been paid nearly £3,000 for three drugs runs in which he allegedly transported cocaine and heroin from the Azores to the Portuguese mainland.
He was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing.
Paim admitted after his loan spell at Chelsea, a deal engineered by his former agent Jorge Mendes, that he had been left frustrated at his lack of first-team football.
He said in a July 2017 interview, in which he blamed part of his fall from grace on the lack of support he received when he earned a fortune.
Paim, who pocketed £6,500 a week as a 13-year-old said: “I often trained with the first-team but I didn’t play.
“I wanted to play. I felt I could do more. Jorge Mendes took me to Chelsea.
“I was getting good money and he had a player at the club and that was good for everyone.
“But that is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to do something we like.
“If it had been today I would have had more patience. But at the time, the more free time I had, the more stupid things I did.”
