Di Caprio look alike sets hearts aflutter and social media abuzz at Rio games
London, August 10: Team USA archer Brady Ellison becomes talk of the town thanks to his looks. The young man who bagged a silver bears a striking resemblance to the ‘Titanic’ actor and is being quite humble about his new found fame.
The 27-year-old from Arizona is an exact lookalike of Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio and ever since the resemblance has been pointed out, social media is buzzing with people expressing their amazement and claiming he was the pitting image of the ‘Titanic’ star, reports The Mirror.
“I think I’ve got 50 pounds on the guy,” Ellison said. “But I mean it’s cool. He is a good-looking dude. And I think it’s great for the sport. I hope it blows up and a lot of people see that and take a look at archery, maybe follow us into the finals”, the Quad City Times quoted him as saying.
It’s not the first time he’s heard the DiCaprio comparisons admits Ellison. The young archer thinks it picked up recent steam because of DiCaprio’s role in the movie “The Revenant,” which required the actor to grow a bushy beard and long hair.
While some mocked that Ellison is the ‘alter-ego’ of the 42-years-old star, the others said that the actor was moonlighting from his normal job of acting and enjoying some time off to play archery in the Rio Olympics.
“Leonardo DiCaprio will be playing Brady Ellison in ‘The Archer’,” wrote a twitterati.
