Last winter, reps for Playgirl told news that they were specifically interested in Mike for an upcoming spread. “Playgirl.com is a huge fan of Shahs of Sunset,” the company said in an news statement last December. “Mike is very good-looking guy who clearly prides himself on his physical form. We at Playgirl.com think he’d make a great addition to our collection. Tell him to call us, anytime.”

The not-so-modest Mike initially admitted to news that he would consider the deal. “I am hot as h-l! If the opportunity and the money was right, I’d definitely consider Playgirl.” Ultimately financial terms of the deal were not released to news.

But Mike said that he was happy with the deal. He added that getting into shape would be easy. “Believe it or not I eat whatever I want. I just work out very hard. I’m disciplined when it comes to the gym, cardio and working out to maximum potential.” He also told news “Everything in moderation with eating. I like In N Out, but I’ll only have it once a month or so, when a craving hits.”

Mike tells US Magazine that he is happy with his body. But he adds “I haven’t really decided how much of Mike Shouhed they’re going to get. I want to make people happy and keep it classy. I’ll have to see how I feel that day.”
