Viral Russian stunt double Leonardo DiCaprio recruited to fight in Ukraine | Firstpost America Roman Burtsev, a Russian programmer turned viral sensation, gained unexpected fame for his uncanny resemblance to Leonardo DiCaprio — if DiCaprio had a bigger appetite. Nicknamed the “Russian Chubby DiCaprio,” Burtsev rose to prominence, starring in quirky commercials and recreating scenes from iconic films, like Titanic and The Revenant. However, his career took a nosedive during the COVID-19 pandemic, and significant weight gain caused him to lose his DiCaprio look. Financially struggling, Burtsev was forced to enlist in the Russian army to fight on the front lines in Ukraine, abandoning his dreams of glory for a harsher reality. It’s his unlikely journey from viral star to soldier. — Leonard DiCaprio | Russian Double | Lookalike | Russian military | Ukrainian War in Russia | Ukrainian War | Romain Burtsev | Firstpost America | Eric Ham | War | Geopolitics | Global economy | First post | World News | Latest news | Global News | International news | Trending News #leonardodicaprio #russian #doppelganger #russianmilitary #russiaukrainewar #ukrainewar #romanburtsev #firstpostamerica #ericham #war #geopolitics #economy #firstpost #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website .
