After being mistaken for fugitive Brian Laundrie several times on TikTok, an anonymous man has gone viral. Despite their uncanny resemblance, the man now has a TikTok account called “NotBrianLaundrie,” where he assures viewers that he is not the missing fiance of the late Gabby Petito. His videos have been viewed millions of times.
The TikTok user shares Laundrie’s complexion and facial structure, as well as being bald and sporting the same beard style. In fact, he points out that the most noticeable difference between them is their eye color: the real Laundrie has dark brown eyes, whereas this man has green eyes. Even so, it may be difficult to tell the difference at first glance, and the man claims he has been mistaken for Laundrie several times. He even made an appearance in a TikTok video titled “Brian Laundrie sighting,” causing him to panic in his personаl life.
