Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao has a "twin" in Keningau, Sabah, who himself has become quite a local celebrity in his village

Pacman's lookalike is a 43-year-old Aloysius Taidin, a pepper farmer from Kampung Baru. When his photo first surfaced online, it immediately went viral, with many joking that Pacquiao had quit boxing and instead turned to pepper planting.

Aloysius says that he's also a boxing fan and he only realised that he looks like the boxing celebrity six years ago after somebody told him about it.

"I don't know who that stranger was but he kept calling me Manny Pacquiao. After that, he invited me for drinks and we chatted about the boxer," Aloysius says.

Doesn't Aloysius look JUST LIKE Manny?!

The level of similarity is creeping us out!

He says it amuses him every time the villagers call him Pacquiao

"I smile every time I see Pacquiao's picture," he says.

Aloysius or Manny? Can you tell? ;)

However, the Sabahan is just one among the many who were found to share Manny Pacquiao's recognisable face (yep, there are more!)

Remember Former Muay Thai Champ Knockout CP Freshmart (real name Thammanoon Niyomtrong)? He recently became the WBA Minimumweight world champion and is another Pacquiao lookalike.

It's not Manny, it's his another lookalike, Thammanoon Niyomtrong.

Speaking of doppelgangers, did you know Malaysia has people who look almost exactly like the IGP, Najib, Rosmah and even Obama?
