According to Swedish media, Hristo Hristov has been going viral on social media since 2013, when it emerged that the Bulgarian journalist looked a lot like Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Swedish newspaper Expressen caught up with Hristov last week and marvelled at how he looks like Zlatan, usually in a well pressed suit, glasses and combed hair.
Hristov told Expressen that the comparisons 'make me smile.'
The Zlatan doppelgänger was born in 1967 in western Bulgaria, and works as a journalist, researcher and author.
Hristov has worked in Washington and also been published by The Guardian.
Amusingly, Hristov told Expressen on looking like Zlatan Ibrahimovic that 'I am a serious investigative journalist and would rather not comment on cases where people in Sweden think that I look like a football player.'
He concluded that 'this is not the first time I have been mistaken for someone famous, people have told me I look like Johnny Depp, and it made me smile.'
