Lionel Messi’s Impersonator Accused Of Pretending To Be Football Icon In Order To Sleép With 23 Women

An Iranian man who happens to look like Lionel Messi has been accused of using the football legend’s identity to con women into sleeping with him.

Reza Parastesh, AKA ‘Fake Messi’, has reportedly slept with 23 people, although these women have claimed they wouldn’t have done so if they knew it wasn’t the Barcelona great himself.

Reza denied the allegations at the time, citing the fact that he lives in a traditionally conservative country where it’s illegal to have sex outside of marriage. Authorities cleared him of any wrongdoing.
