Thai media outlets, both conventional and digital, extensively covered the spread of these entertaining clips on May 25. The short snippets, shared on the TikTok account ‘Tuktiklife,’ showcased the John Wick doppelganger in various settings in Thailand, from brewing coffee and selling grilled cuttlefish to donning traditional Thai attire during a visit to Bangkok’s iconic Wat Arun temple.

The narratives unfolding in these clips led to a flurry of comical comments from Thai netizens. Many remarked on the striking resemblance of the man to John Wick, while others humorously speculated about the hitman embarking on a new mission within Thailand’s borders.

John Wick, a Hollywood blockbuster, recounts the tale of a retired hitman, portrayed by Keanu Reeves, who is coerced back into his lethal past after a group of Russian thugs steal his car and eliminate a puppy gifted to him by his deceased wife.

One particular TikTok video featuring the John Wick lookalike clad in elephant pants, cruising on a motorcycle to vend grilled cuttlefish with the caption ‘Everything got a price,’ amassed a substantial 3.1 million views as of May 25. Another clip titled ‘Barista’ portraying him crafting coffee at a local Thai market garnered an equally impressive 4.6 million views.

However, the pinnacle of the account’s popularity was a video with a staggering 4.7 million views, showcasing the man at a Thai shopping mall. In this clip, he enthralled numerous locals who eagerly posed for photos with him, sparking speculations and debates among viewers. While some proposed that he might be Keanu Reeves’ stunt double or a mere lookalike, others fervently believed that the Hollywood megastar himself was present in Thailand, possibly filming a new installment of the John Wick franchise.
