The pandemic killed the dream: DiCaprio's Russian doppelganger lost popularity due to quarantine

The pandemic has destroyed the dreams and plans of many people. Roman Burtsev, a resident of Podolsk, was no exception. The doppelganger of the legendary Hollywood actor could have won worldwide fame, if not for the prescription to observe social distance and the unsuccessful struggle with excess weight. Find out how the Russian DiCaprio lives after losing popularity.

33-year-old Roman Burtsev from Podolsk became famous after the media noticed his resemblance to Leonardo DiCaprio in 2016. He could have become a real world star, but his plans were ruined by the coronavirus pandemic.

The former operator of the technical support of the rescue service "112" lives in a two-room apartment with his parents and cats. The man signed several contracts with advertisers, but they were terminated because he could not lose weight. The Russian blames quarantine for everything. They say that the fans forgot about him and stopped taking pictures with him on the street because of the need to keep a social distance.

Roman says that the loss of popularity was also affected by wearing a mask, because now it is difficult to see that a Hollywood actor's double is hiding behind it. Nevertheless, he does not despair and continues to try to lose weight. The man set a goal: to lose weight before the New Year. In the future, he plans to start a family and move into his own house.

Once Roman Burtsev was famous for filming in advertising. But the pandemic blocked the path of a resident of Podolsk to world fame. The Russian had to change his occupation and start working in the field of cryptocurrency. He dreams of buying a house in Crimea and finding the love of his life.

Many people want to be like celebrities, copy their appearance and demeanor. But some do not even need to pretend, because they have a striking resemblance to famous personalities from birth. A resident of Israel collects information about the twins of the stars and posts their photos on a page in social networks.
