Bus driver is a doppelgänger to late Leslie Cheung

Cantopop star Leslie Cheung passed away 16 years ago but he is still remembered by his fans.

There are even cafes filled with memorabilia of the star to keep his legacy alive.

Netizens are amazed that there is a bus driver who has an uncanny resemblance to Cheung.

The bus driver’s features, facial expressions and physique remind them of the late singer-actor.

Photos of the bus driver were uploaded online two years ago but this week it reappeared on social media.

“I’ve seen Gor Gor (Cantonese for Big Brother),” another netizen said.

Netizens speculated that Cheung faked his death to leave the pressures of being a superstar while some thought that the bus driver might be a reincarnation of the star.

They said that it was a waste for such an attractive man to not become an online celebrity.

Chinese media has reported that the bus driver is contented with his honest living.

In 2003, 46-year-old Cheung fell to his death from Mandarin Oriental Hotel, leaving a note saying that he was suffering from depression.

The singer-actor debuted in 1977 and became popular throughout the 80s.

He won multiple awards for acting and singing, gaining fans across Asia and around the world. -/TISG
