Neymar Jr. meets professional lookalike Eigon Oliver
Eigon Oliver, a well-known lookalike of Brazilian footballer Neymar Jr., recently met the athlete during a charity auction held by the Instituto Neymar Jr. in São Paulo. The encounter, which included the player offering a “blessing” to Oliver, gained significant traction on social media due to their striking resemblance.
Oliver, a 33-year-old from Diadema, has turned his resemblance into a professional career spanning over a decade. He manages a team of approximately 15 people to handle his social media presence, brand contracts, and international appearances. Unlike many others in similar roles, Oliver holds an official actor's registration (DRT) and has built a professional relationship with Neymar Jr., participating in over 20 advertisements together.
