A 20-year-old Afghan, Abbas Alizada, is attracting social media attention because of his physical resemblance to 1970s Kung Fu actor Bruce Lee. But he is more than a lookalike because Alizada could also move like Lee who starred in the blockbuster 1970s movie Enter the Dragon.

He got international attention after his photos and videos were posted on the Bruce Hazara Facebook page set up by his friends, which showed the Afghan youth mimicking the poses that the Chinese action icon was known for, including his famous back-flips, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Also known as Abulfazl Abbas Shakoory, he shares that he wants to become a Hollywood star which he sees as his way out of poverty, coming from a poor, large family of 10 children.

Fortunately for the young man, a trainer took Alizada under his care to teach him Wushu, a Chinese mixed-martial art, when his parents could not afford to send him to a martial arts school.

Alizada recently won in a martial arts competition in Kabul, the country's capital. The tournament was featured on TV and the Internet, which makes the youth happy because "The only news that comes from Afghanistan is about war," he said.

Lee died in 1973 at the age of 32 due to allergic reaction to painkiller. His earlier films such as the Big Boss and Fist of Fury were produced by Hong Kong movie companies, but Enter the Dragon was produced by Warner.
