A man who shares a strong resemblance to Brian Laundrie has taken to social media to clear his name as the search for Gabby Petito's fiancé continues.
The unnamed man, who is of similar build and is both balding and bearded, began posting videos to TikTok under the handle @notbrianlaundrie after a viral video surfaced mistakenly claiming to show Laundrie in a nightclub.
Laundrie has been named as a person of interest in the disappearance of Petito, with multiple police departments and sheriff's offices across the country receiving information related to the whereabouts of the 23-year-old.
Several individuals have also taken to social media to share footage of alleged sightings of Laundrie, who was last seen on September 14.
In this instance, the claim has been proven incorrect, with the Laundrie lookalike sharing a clip of the original viral clip alongside of a video of himself proving, beyond doubt, he is the man in the footage and explaining his eagerness to "put all of these rumors to bed."
The side-by-side clip has been viewed more than 1.8 million times on TikTok and is the first of a series of viral videos featuring the yet-to-be-identified man.
That video can be viewed here.
In a follow-up clip, the Laundrie doppelganger can be seen asking his new followers for help.
"Quick request from everyone," he said. "Any advice on what I should say to people who think that I am Brian Laundrie? Really appreciate it."
In another post he stresses to his followers: "I'm not Brian Laundrie."
While many of the requests in the clips appear lighthearted—one bit of footage sees him jokingly doing his laundry—one of the videos sees the Laundrie lookalike express concern that he could be "attacked" during an upcoming trip.

It’s Brian claiming he’s not Brian...
Poor guy. Can you imagine being followed around by people thinking you’re Brian Laundrie?
Should have said killer, not fiancé.
I don't think anyone's her fiancé now.
Other guys also have been falsely accused, like the one on the deer cam.
Half the skinny jeans fem-men you can see in any city look like that missing guy.
Years ago I was accused of a crime I did not do. There was a picture of “me”. It looked exactly like me and was creepy to the point some never believed it was not me. I was cleared by authorities thank god. BTW,I look just like Woody Harrelson so some white boys all look alike.
Could be worse, imagine looking like Pelosi
That guy needs an agent for the Lifetime movie.......................
Thanks to an unhinged social media lunatic public that has no life of there own or goals. If they did they would be focused on those.
Dog will sort this out.
Dyslexia?
I read yesterday that he paid a visit to Pelosi while taking a break from filming something in DC.
I once liked him
At least you didn’t get “Munsoned” out in the middle of nowhere...
“...Can you imagine being followed around by people thinking you’re Brian Laundrie?...”
People on the Reddit forums following this case are scary. It’s not hard to see how mobs get inflamed and grab torches and pitchforks.
Granted some of it is blustering from the safety of anonymity but still...
He’s no Ernie McCracken...
I am sure, there are a few here I can name.
