Reza Parastesh, an Iranian doppelganger of FC Barcelona footballer Lionel Messi, has provoked a local craze with his spot-on resemblance to the famous footballer, prompting queues for photographs and autographs on the streets of Tehran on Sunday.
Parastesh has had a taste of what it's like to be a global football superstar - sporting an identical hairstyle and the iconic beard, and roaming the streets in his doppelganger's shirt - causing people of all ages to approach him. Some of those he meets only acknowledge the difference upon second glance.
