Photos: Meet the Iranian Messi’s double

on April 29, 2021 | 8:15:18

The man you see afore ye is Reza Parastesh, an Iranian gentleman who just so happens to share 99.99999999% of his DNA with a rather famous footballer by the name of Lionel Messi.

Reza has apparently become something of a minor phenomenon in his hometown, and now spends his days pottering around in an Argentina shirt whilst trying to make as many people do double-takes as possible.

Indeed, thanks to a swell in interest, the Mehr News Agency recently met up with Riza and basically just took lots and lots of photos of him.
