Going to the gym, shaving his head, changing his style of clothes, etc. is what this man does to become the most like Vin Diesel, since his meme went viral.
Arthid Duangsri (38 years old), from Chiang Rai (Thailand) became famous after a meme showed that he had a “quite” appearance similar to actor Vin Diesel. He was also given the nickname “Vin Diesel of the Golden Temple”.
The city where Arthid lives, he can be considered the person with the most recognizable face when everywhere Arthid has visited, everyone remembers his face. Even when walking on the street, many people call him by the name Vin Diesel instead of his real name.
For the past 10 years, Arthid considers Vin Diesel, or rather the character Dominic Toretto, the main role in the action series Fast & Fury as the ideal model to pursue.
Previously, from 2014 and earlier, Arthid was a dancer in a local band. At that time, his appearance was quite “artist” with long hair, beard and thin, slim body.
Suddenly, a friend told Arthid that if he shaved all his hair, maybe Arthid would look like Vin Diesel. This half-joking, half-truth made Arthid rekindle the idea of becoming “Asian version of Vin Diesel”.
To implement this idea, within a few years, Arthid rushed to the gym, squeezed weight to own muscular muscles and a really big body. Not enough, everyday items such as clothes and accessories were also imitated by Vin Diesel in a very standard way.
Even Arthid studied racing. Every afternoon, he will drive a car that has been re-skinned to resemble the Dodge Charger that the character Dominic Toretto drives in every race. Every time he gets in the car and drives around, Arthid says he feels like he’s really transformed into Vin Diesel.
Starting to become famous in early February this year, Arthid is known to everyone through a photo of him sitting in front of the steering wheel and smiling, just like Vin Diesel’s style. Many people, at first glance, think this is Vin Diesel’s half-brother and grandfather.
Also very quickly, the photo was verified by “real” Vin Diesel and he himself was surprised when he saw his copy.
“That’s me, you don’t need to send any more pictures,” Vin Diesel shared.
In an interview, Arthid couldn’t help but be excited about his new look.
“Vin Diesel has really inspired me to change my life. I used to be a person who was very self-conscious about my appearance, but now I have a pretty good body thanks to the gym. It can be said that thanks to Vin, I changed, my family is also very happy because of that, if I meet him in real life, I will definitely give him a hug.” Arthid expressed.
