It's hard to say what the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, would think of his many impersonators if he were still around, but it's easy to imagine he’d be thrilled to see so many people trying to match his legendary talent.

Over the years, we've seen plenty of MJ impersonators – some with all the energy but none of the talent to pull off his iconic moves. 

It's been a while since social media users have spotted a convincing Jackson lookalike, but this time, they may have found the real deal.

A video shared on social media shows a man dressed in Jackson's signature style, sporting a red jacket that appears homemade yet carefully embellished with accessories to mimic the King of Pop’s unmistakable look.

This man definitely has all the moves, effortlessly drawing a large crowd on what is said to be the streets of Johannesburg.

His performance sends bystanders into a frenzy, with cheers and shouts of excitement filling the air. One woman even joins him and dances from one side of the crowd to the other. 

Bringing all the energy and showmanship, he turns the street into his stage, wowing onlookers with his impressive footwork and undeniable confidence.

Watch the video from Instagram below.

Check out some of the comments on the post – it's clear this guy has made some fans (both online and offline). 

  • "I love South Africans – my condolences go out to everyone who is not South African."

  • "That head snapback was perfectly executed."

  • "Listen can you imagine not being South African mara."

  • "Michael Jackson has 24 hours to wake up."

  • "I would've loved to see this live for real."
