Skater accidentally becomes Luigi Mangione’s doppelgänger, and video goes viral on social media.
A skater named Guy Azulay went viral on social media after sharing a video of himself performing tricks. However, it wasn’t his moves that caught attention, but rather his appearance, which strongly resembled Luigi Mangione, the murderer of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.
“Welcome back, Luigi,” joked some users in the comments of his video. “Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed the resemblance,” said one follower.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Azulay commented on how he’s been handling the sudden fame of being a Luigi Mangione look-alike.
“Like, I don’t know, of all the things to go viral for, it’s just because I look like someone else. But I’m not too mad about it, I guess,” he said, adding that he didn’t see anything wrong with being compared to Luigi.
Azulay has partnerships with brands like New Balance, WKND, Carhartt, and Pepper Griptape. In addition to being a skater, he is also part of a band called Tankerlow.
