A man in Malaysia who mildly resembles Hollywood actor Vin Diesel has won hearts on the internet after he was spotted selling Middle Eastern desserts at a Ramadan bazaar in Johor Bahru like he was doing it for his family.
The video, shared by TikTok user @flamjars on Apr. 3, showed a man looking like he walked off the set of the "Fast and Furious" movie -- as a stunt double or something -- serving customers at a kunafa stall.
For the uninitiated, kunafa is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert made from pastry soaked in syrup, which is typically layered with cheese and other toppings.

After the man notes down the orders and expertly removes the cooked kunafa from the fire, the video pans to two customers who could not help but giggle.
The TikTok user indicated in a comment on the video that the stall was at a Ramadan bazaar along Bandar Baru Uda, JB.
As of Apr. 10, the video has amassed over 5.3 million views on TikTok.
Responses
Commenters made references to the character Dominic "Dom" Toretto that Vin Diesel plays in the "Fast and Furious" movies.
As the leader of a group of street racers in the movie, Dom is known for the many quotes he has about "family".
As such, commenters were quick to suggest that JB's Vin Diesel also had noble intentions for running the stall.
Another commenter suggested that "Vin Diesel" had not yet left his racing past behind.
Translated, it said, "He needs to get more money so he can modify his car".
The top commenter, on the other hand, managed to make a pretty amusing pun out of the whole situation.
Not the first Malaysian "Vin Diesel"
This is not the first time a doppelgänger of Vin Diesel has been spotted in Malaysia.
Two months ago, a man selling grilled fish at a roadside stall in Malaysia also made headlines for his striking resemblance to the action star.
He was christened "Van Petrol" or "Vin Petronas".
