The Iranian who pretended to be Messi in order to sleep with 23 women Barcelona His actions have been denounced

There is a man in Iran who looks similar to Lionel Messi and, as such, he has looked to use that to his advantage by seducing women.

Reza Parastesh, the Messi lookalike, has reportedly slept with 23 women, though his actions have been denounced by the authorities.

It all started two years ago when his father asked him to pose in Messi's Barcelona shirt, with the photo quickly going viral before Parastesh earned the nickname 'fake Messi'.

Due to the similarity between the two, Parastesh even cut his hair and grew his beard like the Barcelona captain, thus increasing his likeness to Messi.
