Bulgarian Zlatan Ibrahimovic Look-Alike Becomes a Web Hit

Let us introduce you to Hristo Hristov, a Bulgarian journalist who has become a hit across social media. 

However, Hristov has not achieved his 15 minutes of fame for his journalistic work but rather because he bares a striking resemblance to Sweden and Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Photos of Hristov have been shared around the world, and he has even been interviewed by Swedish newspaper Expressen, quotes of which were translated by Metro.

"

I know very well who is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He is a national team player for Sweden, has played for a number of great teams and is currently at Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.

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.

No, there have been times here in Bulgaria where people have told me I look like Nikolai Gogol (19th century Russian writer) and Johnny Depp. And it makes me smile.

Johnny Depp? I don't think so, Zlatan...I mean, Hristo.
