Professor who looks VAGUELY like Albert Einstein gains celebrity status in China

An American professor has become a minor celebrity in China because he looks a bit like Albert Einstein.

Gary Manzo, 68, teaches English and Sociology at the Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in south-eastern China.

With his long white moustacheand spectacles perched on his nose, some students have decided he is the spitting image of Einstein.

After photos of him were posted on Chinese social media site Weibo the interest in Professor Manzo has picked up and he has become a minor celebrity.

Prof Manzo has admitted he looks rather like the scientist, but is quite taken back by his newfound fame.

Despite his uncanny resemblance to Einstein, it is purely coincidental as there is no family tie between the pair.
