Shakhboz Makhmudov is a model and actor from Uzbekistan. He's a strong presence in the Asian modeling scene, appearing in many magazines, billboard ads and videos. We wanted to catch up with him, so we invited him to answer a few questions exclusively for InCompany by Attire Club (more photos in the magazine)!
We recently caught up with him!
What fashion brands do you follow?
I am most interested in following brands like Tom Ford, Versace, Dolce and Gabbana, Hugo Boss, Gucci, Adidas. I have worn clothes from Dolce and Gabbana and Adidas many times for different projects and I really like their style. Since I have already visited many countries in Asia, this year I plan to go to Europe. And there I want to work with these brands.
Do you have a workout routine?
I am interested in freestyle wrestling, boxing, football and fitness.
What are you currently watching / listening to /
reading?
I like movies which feature stars like Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan, Tom Hardy, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt. I listen to calm music like chillout music. Now I'm reading Daniel Keyes' Flowers for Algernon. This fantasy story has amazing psychological power and makes you think about the universal human issues of morality.
My favorite food for life is our national Uzbek plov*! This is the best food for me. Plov is a symbol of Uzbek cuisine!
Who are you currently working with; what projects do you have in progress?
I recently arrived in Tashkent after touring several Asian countries where I have worked with a few brands. For example, thanks to MP Models Agency Thailand, I starred in a video for the Head & Shoulders shampoo. This video was released in 5 countries: Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. Now, I am in Tashkent and I am engaged in the cinema - I have several series contracts, as I'm interested in acting. After I finish acting in TV shows in Tashkent, I hope to visit Europe and try to discover different opportunities. Also, I recently opened TASH MODEL MANAGMENT - my modeling agency and school.
*Editor's Note: Uzbek plov is a dish consisting of lamb, rice, vegetables and spices.
