And many online commentators agree that he looks exactly like the Hollywood Oscar-winning actor DiCaprio when he was same age as Igor.

Speaking about the comments he says: "My friends, do not take me as a Leonardo DiCaprio replica, although I am happy to hear about my similarity to him every day from many different people.

"I saw The Revenant movie and I think DiCaprio deserved his Oscar. I think he should have been given an Oscar for his role in Titanic as well, but I understand he was not appreciated due to his younger age."
