Every time someone walks past Aloysius Taidin, more often than not they will do a double take.
You would, too, if you see him in real life because he looks EXACTLY like boxing legend Manny Pacquiao!
The 43-year-old rubber tapper is some sort of a local celebrity in his village of Kabatang Baru located in Keningau, Sabah due to his carbon-copy likeness to the Filipino boxer.
Aloysius told local daily Kosmo! that he only realised the similarity after someone pointed it out about six years ago.
“I don’t know who that stranger was but he kept calling me Manny Pacquiao.
“After that, he invited me for drinks and we chatted about the boxer,” he was quoted by the daily as saying.
Ever since that day, Aloysius told the daily that he would often look for Pacquaio’s pictures and he would smile every time he sees them.
“Our looks are very similiar, and people often say that our smiles, eyes and facial features are identical.
“It’s just that I’m shorter and my body frame is smaller than his,” he told the Malay daily, adding that he finds it funny when his fellow villagers call him Pacquaio.
Aloysius, who is an avid kickboxing fan, also told Kosmo! that he would like to meet his doppelganger one day.
