Joshua said: “The comparison doesn’t annoy me at all, it’s pretty cool that people think of me like that though I think it’s funny.

“I can definitely see the likeness in the photo, but not in my everyday life, but when I’m at work people always call me Linguini and I don’t understand it. I don’t feel like I’m like Alfredo at all.”

The photo attracted a lot of attention from Reddit users, with the post reaching over 175,000 upvotes.

Many were astonished by the doppelganger, and others suggested that Joshua should bring a little rat to work with him as a homage to the film.

Joshua said: “I’m very happy about all of the positive responses I got, it made my year when so many people commented and dedicated just a few minutes of their lives commenting on my photo.

“All of those thousands of comments and up votes really made me feel great.”
