Game of Thrones’ Tyrion Lannister lookalike Pakistan waiter on becoming ‘very famous everywhere’
- Rozi Khan works at a small Kashmiri restaurant in Rawalpindi, but has become famous for his likeness to the character played by Peter Dinklage
- He bears a striking resemblance to the HBO series’ dwarf anti-hero and is the same height, 1.35 metres
Pakistani waiter Rozi Khan had never heard of Game of Thrones – or its hugely popular character Tyrion Lannister – until his striking resemblance to the dwarf anti-hero got heads turning at home.
The 25-year-old so resembles actor Peter Dinklage – who has played the witty and wily nobleman since the hit HBO series’ first season in 2011 – that he gets regularly stopped by strangers desperate for a picture.
“I don’t mind. A lot of my pictures have been taken, that is why I have become very famous everywhere,” he says.
Not only are Khan and Dinklage’s faces strikingly similar, they are also the same height at around 1.35 metres (four feet, five inches).
Photographs of the pair have, not surprisingly, made their way onto social media showing the doppelgängers side-by-side.
