“I think he should give me one of his Ballon d’Ors!” Fábio Paím joked about Cristiano Ronaldo. The remark reflects what could have been and wasn’t: the talent was there, but he lacked commitment.
While his former teammate was lifting trophies, Fábio was getting lost in nights of partying that destroyed his career. “To this day, there has been no one like me, with the same quality,” said the former footballer, who played at Chelsea under Scolari but was never able to establish himself in professional football. His indiscipline led him into a spiral of excess.
He ended up in prison for selling narcotics and had other run-ins with the law. Now, at 36, he has found a new profession: adult film actor. “I’d like to take part in a porn movie,” he admitted months ago. He already did. And he’s proud of it.
“Today was a top-level filming day,” he wrote on social media, sharing images from the shoot. The young man who could have been better than Cristiano Ronaldo is now seeking fame behind the camera.
