Abbas Sharhani, an Iranian asylum seeker is now living his
life as an impersonator of legendary pop singer, Michael Jackson.
According to reports by
Mailonline, Abbas left his family and fled war-torn Iran by boat when he was
just 16 years old. He was held by a Darwin detention centre for three months
and after his release, he straightened his hair and had plastic surgery so he
could make a living as a Michael Jackson impersonator.
The 20 year old refugee has now become a mini celebrity in his own
right. He however still suffers the loniless and isolation of being a refugee.
He said: "Despite the fame, it has not erased the loneliness and isolation
of the experience of being a refugee so far from home and family. However I do
find joy in performing for people – everyone loves Michael Jackson. From the
bottom of my heart I love the way he dances."
Speaking on his strict Muslim upbringing and how
his family responded to his change, he said: "They were like “why would
you change your appearance and change your hair?”. They weren’t happy, they
didn’t accept it. It’s difficult being far away, but I just keep doing what I’m
doing. Dancing is my passion."
Abbas' transformation from refugee to Michael Jackson impersonator is the subject of a documentary, Man in the Mirror, which will debut at the Arab Film Festival Australia.
