Paolo stories and rumors and their sources

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:

Maldini: in viaggio con papà | Storie di Calcio

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:

A scuola con... Paolo Maldini! » FacceCaso - Cronache di Scuola Quotidiana

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:

Italy place faith in family values

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 EDGT1630330 66THAND2ND

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 might just be about ready to throw all caution to the wind and read TMNT fanfiction. Fuck it. Fanfiction is gonna be fanfiction and I’ll just ignore what I don’t like. WE. ARE DONE. GATEKEEPING. FUN. FROM. OURSELVES. OK?! GOOD GLAD WE ESTABLISHED THAT.

So yeah…guess it’s time I go read about rabbits fucking turtles (#leosagi forever!!! 🔥🔥🔥)

People gatekeeping music after Stranger Things is so funny to me because youve got all these people who grew up listening to 80s music or maybe they got into metal because they heard a Metallica track on a CD a parent had and now they’re like “oh no because you just heard this song in a show that uses music so heavily to portray the feeling or emotion they want you to feel you can’t like it because you haven’t been listening to it since you were little”

People really out here telling folks they can’t listen to Master of Puppets because they only heard it for the first time in the show and didn’t make it their entire personality at age 16. Or they can’t like Kate Bush because they don’t know any other tracks than Running up that Hill.

My brother in Christ. How did you get into the music you like? Did you hear it on a show or have someone say “you should listen to this” cause I know that’s how I got into a lot of the music I like.

Also I know for a fact that the official Metallica Social Media accounts have been posting about that Master of Puppets Scene and praising the show for its use of the song.

Also it was Robert Trujillo’s son Trey who played the Master of Puppets Solo so they’re involved in the whole thing.

Kate Bush has come out and said she loves that her song was used in the show as well.

The official Iron Maiden Social Media accounts used that screenshot of Eddie holding up their album saying “This is music!” to be like “hey guys we watched it too!”

Give people a break ok. Not everyone grew up listening to the same music as you did. Stop gatekeeping.
