[quote]A well-known Iranian actor has said he was banned from acting for eight years because of his resemblance to former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Mahmoud Basiri made the revelation in an interview with the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA).
He said he would not play the role of Mr Ahmadinejad unless he received consent from the former leader.
The 66-year-old actor is renowned in Iran for playing mainly comic roles on TV during his long career.[/quote]

He looks like a much older version of him.
