The 41-year-old Moskvich, who previously worked as a programmer, became the famous 2016 because of the striking resemblance to the Hollywood star. Then 33-year-old Burtsev registered on the dating site in the hope of finding love and creating a family, but suddenly attracted the attention of advertising agencies.

His photography quickly spread on social networks, and users noted his resemblance to DiCaprio, although Burtsev was younger than the actor for eight years and weighed more than 45 kilograms more. The Western tabloids dubbed him with the "Russian fat version of Leonardo Di Caprio", and his images began to be actively published in the media of Europe and America.
