University student Flamur Ukshini can easily pass himself off as former One Direction star Zayn Malik.

Even Malik's fans think so.

 

But Mr Ukshini, 23, is not related to the singer. He didn't even know of Malik until fans started approaching him for photos.

He told Mail Online: "In the beginning I didn't realise we looked the same, because I didn't know him.

"But when people on the street wanted to take pictures with me I was surprised, but then I started to realise that I look very much like somebody I don't know and who has to be famous."

Malik's fans have started following him on Instagram. Mr Ukshini now has more than 40,000 followers.

The Kosovar is a final-year Business Informatics student and a part-time model. And he doesn't sing.

On the eerie resemblance, Mr Ukshini said: "Anyway I feel blessed to look like him. 

"One female fan did text me, 'why travel to London to meet Zayn, if we can hang out in our country with a same handsome looking guy'."
