A man in Iran accused of sleeping with 23 women by
pretending to be the Lionel Messi because of their uncanny
resemblance has denied conning the women into sleeping with him.
Reza Parastesh, who is known as the Iranian Messi was forced
to come forward to deny the allegations on social media after Spanish
publication, Marca reported it.
In a video post on Instagram, Parastesh said: 'Hi friends, a
piece of false news about me is trending on social media with regards to me
sleeping with 23 women because they thought I was Lionel Messi. Please do not
play with people's reputation and credibility.
'We are all aware of the fact that if it actually happened
to anyone, there would be some complaints and it would lead to my prosecution.
That would be a disaster and a calamity of international proportion. If this
news was true, I would be in jail right now.'
'Do not believe it, it is not true. I am going to do
everything to fight this legally and make sure my name is cleared.'
'The news is spreading in the Muslim countries and it has
been a disaster,' he said. 'I was severely harassed because it released the
whole world on me. My family also harassed me, but the people's attack was more
influential.'
Reza who has an uncanny resemblance to the Argentine
superstar is reported to have started pursuing a career as a Messi look-alike
when his dad suggested he put on a Barcelona shirt to see how much he resembled
the Argentine.
According to him, he was also encouraged to grow a beard to
keep up-to-date with Messi's looks.
