Bruce Lee is Back in Afghanistan

A 20-year-old man in Afghanistan nicknamed “Bruce Hazara” has become somewhat of an internet sensation because he looks a lot like martial artist/actor Bruce Lee.

He has posted a bunch of photos on his Facebook page in various poses mimicking Lee and has hopes of being just as famous.

“I want to be a champion in my country and a Hollywood star,” he said.

His real name is Abbas Alizada, although he prefers to be called “the Afghan Bruce Lee.”

Alizada trains at a palace in Kabul that was destroyed by decades of fighting, and the destruction that surrounds him, he says, is sad but inspiring.
