A Russian man who won a string of acting and modeling gigs as a Leonardo DiCaprio lookalike has been sent to fight in the war against Ukraine.
The doppelgänger was initially hit by the pandemic when he put on too much weight to be a convincing DiCaprio while living in a two-room council flat with his parents and cat. Burtsev has been unable to reprise his former fame as the Russian face of the 49-year-old American - and was instead ordered like many unemployed men to sign up for Vladimir Putin's war.
