A popular saying in the Arab world goes as follows: "40 people are created with an uncanny resemblance to each other."
It seems like this expression materializes every now and then, especially when it comes to celebrities. More often than not, celebrity doppelgängers pop up on the internet, causing jaws to drop as hard as a watermelon thrown from the 10th floor.
The latest one to turn heads is a Kuwait-based Arab slaughterhouse worker. Who does he look like? Legendary footballer Mohamed Salah.
In the video captured by the man who made the sighting, he can be heard jokingly referring to the lookalike as Abu Makka (the father of Makka, referencing Salah's daughter).
He then asks him about the next league win, to which the doppelgänger - playing along as Salah - answers "We're going to win the league this year."
Just hours after it started making the rounds online, the clip caught people's attention. Many who watched it thought the doppelgänger looked exactly like Salah, while others begged to differ.
Do you see the resemblance?
Because many people do
"When I first saw this screenshot, I thought it was Salah. A carbon copy of him."
Another lookalike in Riyadh?
"I once saw an Egyptian man in Riyadh who looks exactly like Salah."
A few were so confused they thought Salah was in town
"From famous footballer to a slaughterhouse worker ... Oh your morals, you Arab pride"
Not everyone thought this man looks like Salah, though
"He looks nothing like him."
Many felt Salah's other doppelgänger looks more like him
Yep, the footballer has another lookalike
Last year, Egyptian Ahmed Bahaa - a man with a striking resemblance to Mohamed Salah - stole the spotlight at a café in Cairo after he joined other fans watching the Liverpool forward play in the semi-final of the Champions League.
The Egyptian footballer ended up meeting his lookalike, snapping a selfie together that later went viral.
"[Mohamed Salah] was taken aback [when he saw me], he said to me he feels like he's standing in front of a mirror, but that it is he who looks like me because I am older," Bahaa said, according to Sky Sports.
