Mia Khalifa once revealed her three favorite footballers of all time, including one particularly odd choice. The adult film legend made her interest in the sport very clear after retiring from the industry.

And speaking in 2019 to Arsenal fans’ channel AFTV, Mia revealed who her top three footballers of all time were. Initially, the 29-year-old was asked to name her top three active players, but admitted she could only name her all-time favourites.

She said: “I have to say (David Beckham) Becks because I’m a girl.” Asked if the reason was based on his looks or football ability, she replied: “How much it makes me laugh every time I hear him speak in that voice that’s higher than mine when I was 12. So this it’s really fun.”

Continuing, she said: “Zinedine Zidane because that was the most exciting thing I’ve ever seen happen in a football match. I love violence and I hate that there’s so much simulation in football. Yes! That (headbutt) was the moment greatest of all time.”

In the end, she rounded out her trio with the distinct choice of “Football’s Kawhi Leonard.” She added: “And Aaron Mooy. He’s like the Kawhi Leonard of football. He doesn’t look like him, but he acts like him.

“He’s kind of shy in front of the cameras, he’s a little weird, but you never see it. I don’t know, he reminds me of him. Kawhi Leonard is a good guy.”

Mia, who was once the most searched for on popular adult site PornHub, has since moved into sports presenting and is a West Ham fan.

However, she has no love for the industry she left behind and has pleaded with young women NOT to go into the industry under false pretenses to make money.
