Brief Analysis
The story is almost certainly fictional. The story comes from the British tabloid newspaper, Sunday Sport, which specializes in publishing ludicrous and fanciful nonsense. Nothing published in the newspaper should be taken seriously and this silly story is no exception.

However, the story is almost certainly a work of fiction that has simply been made up to shock or entertain. The story originates from “Sunday Sport”, a trashy British tabloid that specializes in made up stories and faked pictures presented as news articles along with salacious gossip, and nudity.
And, of course, the picture of Damian is likely posed. The beer can looks unopened and the cigarette does not appear to be lit.
In fact, nothing in Sunday Sport should be taken seriously. The tabloid is obviously intended purely as entertainment. And the story of young “Damian” is no exception.
