Thu 3 May 2019:
Is that Tyrion Lannister serving mutton and flatbread at a Kashmiri restaurant in Pakistan?
No, it’s his doppelganger Rozi Khan, but one can see why people would get so confused by the uncanny resemblance. The two practically share the same face, and are also 135 cms tall.
Until a few months ago, 26-year-old Khan had never heard of Peter Dinklage, the U.S. actor who plays Tyrion Lannister in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones.
But his life changed when the son of the restaurant owner he works for spotted the resemblance and posted his picture on Facebook.
Thanks to his alikeness, Khan quickly took social media by storm in Pakistan, and has now even got a taste of stardom by starring in his first ad.
The ad titled “Food is Coming” — in reference to GoT’s “Winter is Coming” motto — is for food delivery app Cheetay. Since its airing, the ad has gone viral on social media in Pakistan.
