Thankyou @itsftballnotsoccer for tagging me because this has inspired me to crawl out of the darkness and solitude of @nate-acmilan 's bed to post.
Currently watching: I am watching the Olympics, but like not really, and also, this isn't a show but the Figo documentary I have been heavily postponing to watch until today.
Spicy/Sweet/Savoury: Savoury, I can't handle sweet. And spicy is fine but not my favorite.
Current obsession: Football always.
Relationship status: It's multi choice idk.
Last song I listened to: I don't remember, and I don't listen to music very often.
Idk who to tag. Actually I know one person @idkplsleavemealone because idk they seem like an anomaly of a person
Whats all this my friends have been telling me about Paolo Maldini and his gay escapades with his teammates😭
I AM UNFORTUNATELY NOT FAMILIAR! I know that Maldini has been "followed by gay rumours" for most of his career because 1) he was so fucking pretty when he was younger and 2) allegedly a journalist made a big deal of him "being single and wearing pink" when he was first starting out. and it kind of. stuck.
I feel like @toxicoldmanyaoi or @kvaradonaa might know more? or if anyone does pls feel free to chime in. All EYE know is that various ex-teammates talking about him get pretty starry-eyed. Italy nt Baggio waxed poetics about him being the best defender who ever lived blah blah "worth like fifteen men put together" whatever that meant. I remember a Shevchenko interview that was also like. very eyes emoji. Also this Thiago Silva out-of-context quote is fun.
tldr: I actually don't know! But I wouldn't be surprised if he had gay escapades frankly. I bet more men wanted to hit that than they'd have liked to admit
Ok so me and @nate-acmilan had a cult meeting to discuss this question. So to answer, Maldini himself didn't really have any gay rumors besides the pink polo one, and that was basically unfounded. Though the only thing I can say is that apparently, at the 2002 AC Milan Christmas party, there were moments where mics were passed around to the players, and apparently, he said that he would never forget the moment that Sheva, at the time a new player in 1999, asked to sleep in the same bed with him. But that's about it, more often it's the other way around, with other footballers saying gay things about him, and also something funny is it used to be a social stigma to say you liked Maldini where @nate-acmilan is from, because it would earn you gay allegations, but secretly everyone liked him. So yeah, it was mostly the other way around. Even today the reputation holds up, a good example being Rafael Leão, when he said, "I was told that he was one of the most charismatic people in the world, that he knew how to conquer you with his gaze. It was magnetic, they said.", somebody who also famously doesn't consider Paolo a father figure.
Ok, so in the last 23 days i've been talking to @nate-acmilan a lot and he really likes having sources for everything I tell him about Maldini. This has led me to two things, one, that others most likely want the sources to these stories, and two, I have found many sources for these things because of it. Also i've found a lot of random things too:
Rumors (Fully sourced)
So the first story I have a source for is Maradona saying that Paolo is too pretty to play football, which i'm pretty sure everyone has heard at some point. So basically I had another source for this, which is this one: https://arcobaleno2006.wordpress.com/2005/02/23/made-in-milan/
But then just before I posted this Nate sent a better one which is funnier and from a few years before: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/988261.stm
2. Ok so this one isn't really a rumor or story but basically I am just going to assume everybody is curious about a source for Paolo liking coca-cola, so besides the pictures with him always having it I also have a source, which is just the magazine I got, because the others are taking super long to get here:
Though, there was another source for this but I don't remember, but it was among the ones for this list anyway. But his liking of cola is mentioned sometimes at random when people talk about him.
3. I think that everybody has different interpretations of what happened at his first training session, but what I originally heard was that Cesare just left him there and came back later, which is true. Also, he wasn't there for Paolo's debut match either, though to be fair it wasn't known it was going to be his debut. This source has both of those:
E' proibitivo per un figlio d’arte emulare le gesta del padre? Certamente è difficile, ma non impossibile. Basti pensare alla storia all’ex
4. I don't know if this is known a lot or not but Paolo didn't graduate high school, he only got up to a middle school diploma. But I knew this, and of course was asked for a source, so here it is:
Che scuola hanno frequentato i campioni italiani? Ve lo diciamo noi in questa nuova rubrica. Oggi tocca ad un Cuore di Drago: Paolo Maldini.
5. Also, I don't know if everyone has heard of this but I'm assuming some of you have, and it's Paolo liking Silence of the Lambs. Some sources say it's his favorite, some not, but I think this is where that idea originally comes from:
Semi-Sourced
For this section I have one thing so I won't be numbering it, but basically I have heard that Armani wanted Paolo to Model for him, at some point in the 90's. And I always thought that this took place in the late 90's, but actually it was apparently in 1994 when he said this, according to this:
The Maldini family have a fixed rule. When they get together for a family gathering, conversation about soccer is banned
However I have nothing else to go off of for this, so it's still semi-true because I haven't seen a direct quote from Armani.
Tid-Bits
Ok, so this section is just random things I found in my research and one of them is that, at least back in the day, Paolo walked on his tippytoes when he wasn't wearing shoes. It comes from a book where the author interviewed Paolo himself, and Adriana and Billy and Cesare and Ambrosini and Ancelotti etc., so I believe it to be true:
Diego Guido

You can just download it from there for free. That in particular is on page 177-178.
2. This is something else that comes from that book, which is that as a kid his mom made him do gymnastics and guitar. This is from page 25.
3. Last, I know that Paolo used to have a website but I don't think any of us have actually seen it. But I found an archived version of it recently:
Ok so that's it. I don't know if there is anything else I forgot, but obviously if you want to ask about any stories or rumors do it because I might have sources for that as well. And no, @kvaradonaa, I still have not found the source for Paolo and Sheva sleeping in the same bed, which I know is devastating but I haven't seen anything about it since that one time. So yeah, but I also did this because no gatekeeping and also because those new magazines are taking forever to get here and I am bored.

I honestly was jus messing around but it’s just hot to me 😭 like young kid bit scared in one of the best clubs in the world and strong captain there to help him . But idk 😭
I ordered more magazines recently, three of them, plus a vhs tape with the scudetto season footage, because that's where like all the gay footage comes from. But these are the magazines, from different years but they were a good price so I got them.
They will get here in less then a month, but the vhs tape will take longer. Also I dont know what's actually in these at all, I did a search to see if anybody else posted what was in them and apparently not yet, so I have no clue what im about to get in the mail.
