All this started when Parastesh’s father who is a great football fan put pressure on him into posing in a No. 10 Barcelona jersey and sending the pictures to a sports website.
Parastesh said –
“I sent them one night and by morning they had called me and said I should come in quickly for an interview,”
Now he is fully booked with media interviews and has even got modelling contracts.
“Now people really see me as the Iranian Messi and want me to mimic everything he does. When I show up somewhere, people are really shocked,”
Parastesh said that he is glad about the fact that he can make people happy-
“I’m really happy that seeing me makes them happy and this happiness gives me a lot of energy,”
Parastesh now wants to meet his hero and get a job as his understudy. This is what he said-
“Being the best player in footballing history, he definitely has more work than he can handle. I could be his representative when he is too busy,”
