Being a celebrity’s doppelganger seems to really help one’s business thrive. Just look at how Jay Chou’s lookalike upgraded his streetside egg roll stall to an actual shop last year.
And it definitely is working well for this Greg Hsu lookalike in Malaysia too.
A man who’s a spitting image of the 34-year-old Taiwanese star was seen making drinks at a cafe in Hong Kong’s Fortress Hill in a video that’s gone viral on Instagram.
The handsome lad in the video isn’t from Hong Kong, but hails from somewhere closer to home – he’s a barista named Linus, who is a bar manager at Kuala Lumpur’s popular cafe If Only.
According to the video, Linus was in Hong Kong for a three-day collaboration with Hong Kong’s coffee house Coffeelin, which was where he was seen making drinks in the clip.
Many have taken to the comments to rave about how much Linus resembles Greg Hsu, while others complimented him for being so “leng zai” (handsome in Cantonese).
One netizen even commented: “Lao gong”, aka husband in Chinese, which is how Greg’s fans usually address him.
Well, he definitely looks more like Greg Hsu than Glenn Yong…
