Rawalpindi, Pakistan: Is Peter Dinklage, the popular American actor who plays Tyrion Lannister in the HBO fantasy series 'Game of Thrones', working at a small restaurant in Pakistan's garrison city of Rawalpindi?
No, of course, is the answer.
But people ask this question because Rozi Khan, a 26-year-old waiter who serves flatbread and mutton, bears a striking resemblance to the 'Thrones' antihero. Dinklage has played the witty and wily nobleman since the drama series began in 2011.
Khan not only has a facial resemblance to Dinklage, he claims to be the same height - 1.33 meters (4 ft. 5 inches).
Dinklage's Pakistani doppelganger Khan had not watched 'Game of Thrones' until the son of his restaurant's owner, Malik Aslam, told him he looked like a famous actor.
Khan's popularity soared when Aslam shared his photo on Facebook and people started taking selfies with the waiter and sharing them on social media.
Khan is a waiter at a local Kashmiri restaurant called "Dilbar," located in Rawalpindi.
Aslam's brother Malik Siraj, who is also one of the owners, described Khan as a hard worker and honest.
Born in Mansehra, Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, Khan says he would love to meet Dinklage, and work with him on a drama.
The waiter has already starred in a commercial for a food delivery service in Pakistan.
