A 28-year-old man who looked like Michael Jackson has slammed the trolls who accused him of undergoing plastic surgery to look like the King of Pop.
Fabio Jackson from the UK has been bullied for looking like the late singer in high school. But now, he works as a Michael Jackson lookalike and has gained a huge fanbase online.
However, he always receives negative remarks from trolls who accuse him of having cosmetic procedures.
Fabio then hit back at his critics by sharing his childhood photos on TikTok, where it received over 1.7 million views.
He explained that he naturally resembled Michael since he was a child and that he never went under the knife to look like his idol.
“The comparisons to Michael have been going on ever since high school to college then university and it just keeps getting more and more frequent now,” he said. “I was bullied at school because I looked so much like Michael. It was hard.”
Fabio continued: “As you can see from my video, nothing has changed in my looks. I’ve just grown up, my jaw has got wider, my teeth have shifted, my eyes are still the same and yes I still have my long hair like Michael.
“With people on the streets now it a whole different thing, they double take, they call at me and they take pictures of me.
“In the UK, people are usually very happy to see me and thank me as if I did something to achieve Michael’s look but it’s natural. People are seeing my TikTok videos now and seeing that I’m real.”
“When people look at me, they see this famous face so I have to balance it out and try to be a good influence to the world,” he added.
“So I’m not going to do anything when people are mean to me online. There are so many people out there that wish to be Michael or just had a small percentage of this resemblance to him.”
One fan commented: “I think it’s safe to say that he doesn’t look like Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson looks like him.”
Another wrote: “So Michael Jackson copied you.”
