Hello, Parnia, congrats on your third MAXIM cover. How does it feel?

Thank you. I feel like I finally accomplished my goal of the trifecta — what an achievement!

What did you love most about this photo shoot?

I really loved the fact we were on a luxury yacht. It was so amazing to be enjoying the ocean whilst shooting at the same time. I just kept thinking how lucky I am that my office is on the water for the day!

What have you been up to since we last saw you?

Well, I’ve spent three months in America working with some of the most amazing photographers, as well as starring in some music videos and, of course, filming the latest Ultra Tune TV commercials.

You filmed the new Ultra Tune ad, featuring Mike Tyson, in Las Vegas. Tell us more.

The Ultra Tune crew and I filmed this one until all hours of the morning and we had an absolute blast. I think we were all a little star struck that we got to film with one of the best boxers in history – just being in his presence was amazing.

What was it like working with Mike Tyson compared to Jean-Claude Van Damme, who featured in the previous Ultra Tune ad?

Mike Tyson was definitely more chilled, but they both had their own sort of swag which was cool. He loved the fact I have had my own professional boxing fights and definitely took a liking to me after that.
