Internet is being flooded with an image of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs look-alike.

According to a report by CNET, the image of Steve Jobs look-alike, which was apparently taken in Egypt, was first shared by Ahmed Basyouney on Facebook on August 24. However, Basyouney didn't respond to questions about whether he was the one who clicked the picture.

Since then people on social media are going nuts seeing the man in the image with striking alikeness to Jobs. The man is even barefoot, which Jobs was often was. The image has since been shared across platforms including Twitter and Reddit.

"OMG Steve Jobs doesn't wear an Apple Watch!" said one Reddit user.

"Apple should hire this guy, bring him to USA and start a campaign that the Jobs is back from the dead," wrote the user going by Jonesderserder. "iMalive. And he could fix the keyboards in Macbooks."

The photo even led to conspiracy theories with many saying that the Apple mogul could have faked his death in order to live out his life in anonymity.

Quite a few people thought that the similarities were just a coincidence.

“As you get older, I swear you end up seeing more and more people that look the same,” another person commented. “There is immense variation in nature but we are drawn to patterns. I have done double-takes on people who are complete strangers who look like someone I used to know. I have also seen people and had the distinct thought “wow, that is Bob when he is 20 years older”.

"THE FAT GUY NEXT TO HIM IS ELVIS," said one Twitter user.
