JAKARTA - Danny Mountain was once a promising English footballer, playing in Southampton's youth team before capturing the attention of Chelsea, West Ham and Tottenham. However, he is now the highest paid porn actor in the UK.

Mountain's football career ended at the age of 16 when he suffered a knee injury. Since then, he has embarked on a new career as a coach.

However, according to the Daily Star, she later plunged into the adult film industry, where she has starred in nearly 600 films over the course of her new career.

"I was dating a girl on Page Three. Her agent wanted her to get into porn. She wasn't interested but the agent gave her details of her London audition and I went with her. I didn't know what to expect but I was full of confidence," Mountain told Daily Star.

"I'm not at all nervous about the sexual part. But, I'm worried about speaking in front of the camera - I can't control my face, I'm so nervous.

"When I told my mom she was a little surprised, she was worried I wasn't okay because I'm only 19, but I had fun and flew around the world and she realized how happy I was. When I told my dad he like 'go on, kid.'

Having a career in the adult film industry is not Mountain's dream. However, he believes his success makes clear the value of having the courage to try something.

"When I was little, I dreamed of becoming a famous footballer," he continued.

"Unfortunately, I will never score for England, but that hasn't stopped me from being successful.

"Today I have a big house, I eat in restaurants, and play football with Jones, Statham and other celebrities on the weekends. Would I want my daughter to be a porn actress? Of course not, but, if I had a son, I would tell him the same way my father used to: "Dare, son."

According to Scorum, Mountain has pocketed more than a million dollars from his pay as a porn film actor.
