That guy who looks like Leonardo DiCaprio just got his own TV show

Cape Town – A Russian man who became an internet sensation because of his resemblance to Leonardo DiCaprio is becoming a star in his own right.

33-year-old emergency services technician, Roman Burtsev, is set to become a reality star.

ABC reported that a local television channel has cast him in a makeover series, Romance with DiCaprio.

The series will attempt to transform him into the real deal.

Brutov's look has gotten an update; he has also had voice lessons and seen a dietician.

In another episode he learns how to sing Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On and also faces psychological challenges in another one when he has to beg on the street.
