They could be twins!

The latest person to go viral for their similarity to a celebrity is Nikolai Posleda, a man from Russia.

According to Cosmopolitan, in Krasnoyarsk in Siberia, Nikolai works as a merchandiser in the bakery industry but says that daily life is interrupted by people insisting he is the real life Harry Potter.

“Most of the time people walk by and say to each other something like — wow — look, it’s Harry Potter!

“Sometimes they want to take a picture, but not too often, thank God. They don’t ask for my autograph, but a couple of times people have started speaking English with me.”

Silver linings I suppose.

But looking at some of his photos, do you see the resemblance between Nikolai and The Boy Who Lived?

Going from his brooding selfies, he’s definitely got some of the dark, rogue looks that Daniel Radcliffe has… Could they be related in any way?
