Do you remember Russia's very own Leonardo DiCaprio? Well, he's back and this time there's vodka.

Roman Burtsev, who at 33 is actually eight years younger than Leo, has managed to make quite a good little career for himself working as a fat DiCaprio in his native Moscow, reports the Metro.

Unfortunately, Roman hasn't won an Oscar (yet), so he still has to do adverts and crap reality shows.

The advert, for Pyat Ozer (Five Lakes) vodka, sees our chubby hero starting to get pissed off with his life of fakery, with his pineapple phone and Abibas tracksuit. He really just wants to fuck off his hot girlfriend and all this fakery and go and drink vodka in a boat.

There's a weird bit where you can see Roman in his rear-view mirror and he's got a photo of Leo stuck on there. You can't fault the casting because Roman looks exactly like Leo would if he'd chosen vodka over acting/sleeping with gorgeous women.

But don't for a second start pitying Roman, because he's richer than Leo in many ways, he reckons. Speaking after Leo's Oscar success earlier this year, he was quoted in the Russian press as saying: "He got an Oscar? So what? This is just a useless piece of metal. Leo doesn't have the most important thing, which is a family."

Yeah, and I'm sure that breaks his heart while he's shagging Victoria's Secret models and getting paid millions to fight pretend bears.
