A man in Thailand has dedicated his life to looking like Vin Diesel, after being told of their uncanny resemblance.
Arthit Duangsri, 38, used to be a dancer for a band where he struggled to find out who he truly was. He believed his long hair was holding his looks back.
After tying his hair up, someone told him he looked like the 55-year-old Fast and the Furious star, so naturally, he shaved his hair off to further the comparison.
Duangsri - who is a massive fan of Diesel - then worked towards achieving the full look by studying the action lead's workout regime, which required "years of sweat and tears".
Watch Duangsri interview with Vice:Duangsri sticks to a strict, high, protein diet to maintain his muscular body and lives in hope that he'll one day get to meet his idol and celebrity lookalike.
Speaking to Vice, the lookalike said if he and Diesel were to meet one day, he would instantly hug him and say, "I love you".
While Duangsri is not the only person to resemble the XXx star, he might be the most loyal of all of his lookalikes - striving to achieve every resemblance possible.
Many users on social media shared their sentiments on the comparisons and said they were supportive of Duangsri - even hoping he gets to meet his idol one day.
One person commented: "He seems to be leading a decent, productive life while entertaining locals. Good on him."
Another person said: "Come on Vin, don't be rude to this man! You have been a positive influence in his life."
A third user wrote: "It's amazing how one compliment, likely given in passing, can make someone change their life like this."
A fourth user joked: "There's something needed to be explained by Vin Diesel's Father to his Mother, about his last trip to Thailand 38 years ago. This dude must be Vin Diesel's half-brother."
Duangsri revealed that in his regular life he runs an IT shop, but since finding viral stardom on his looks, he now gets booked to appear at events in his country.
He also enjoys driving around dressed as Dominic Toretto, Diesel's character in the Fast and Furious franchise, saying that he feels like he's been cast in the movie.
