Pakistani Waiter Dubbed As Tyrion Lannister’s Doppelganger In ‘Game Of Thrones’ Goes Viral

When you play the game of clones, you win or you go viral, there’s no middle ground. A Pakistani waiter has captured the imagination of the internet because of his amazing resemblance to Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage. Needless to say, the young man is currently being dubbed as the Tyrion Lannister of Pakistan.

Rozi Khan is a 24-year-old waiter working at a small Kashmiri restaurant in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. However, to the local fans of Game of Thrones, he is the Pakistani Tyrion Lannister. Not surprisingly, Khan is often visited at his place of work by people who want to take his picture. However, the young waiter has yet to see an episode of the HBO series.

This hard-working waiter is going viral because of his resemblance to your favorite ‘Game of Thrones’ character.

Khan’s resemblance to Dinklage is certainly uncanny and it has even been revealed that they are roughly the same height at around 135 cms (4 ft 5in). Although it is unclear if Dinklage knows about his doppelganger in Pakistan, Khan has admitted that he only knows about the actor through Game of Thrones fans who constantly approach him.

“I don’t mind. A lot of my pictures have been taken, that’s why I have become very famous everywhere,” Khan said.

Khan is known as a cheerful and hard-working waiter at the restaurant.

Despite his newfound fame, the quiet waiter remains down-to-earth and continues serving the restaurant’s customers hearty dishes such as mutton and spinach curries. However, Khan does admit that he would like to meet Dinklage one day as he says the actor is like a friend and brother to him.

“I love him very much, he is my friend… he is my height so I like him a lot,” Khan said of Dinklage.

Dinklage has yet to comment on his Pakistani doppelganger.

We’re certainly hoping that Khan gets to meet Dinklage soon. In the meantime, Tyrion Lannister’s fate will finally be revealed this April. The final season of Game of Thrones is set to confirm what will happen to Tyrion and the rest of the characters in the series.

Game of Thrones Season 8 will premiere on HBO on April 14.
