Moves like Jagger – and Bobby looks just like him too!

- By Dolly Busby

HE’S got the same snake-hips, trademark pout and dynamic stage presence.

No wonder there is now a clamour for Bobby Brazier to be cast as Mick Jagger in any biopic of the Rolling Stones legend.

Fans of Strictly have become obsessed with the uncanny likeness between EastEnders star Brazier, 20, and Jagger at the same age.

TikTok users have been sharing videos comparing the pair – and gaining millions of views.

They first noted the similarity during Brazier’s samba to Young Hearts Run Free by Candi Staton, which he performed with his dance partner Dianne Buswell on the show last month.

One social media user wrote: ‘Bobby Brazier has to be a young Mick Jagger! Those hips! Those lips!’ A second viewer said: ‘Watching Strictly and if someone doesn’t cast Bobby Brazier as Mick Jagger sometime soon, they are missing a trick.’

Meanwhile, another fan wrote: ‘Calling it now. Bobby Brazier playing Mick Jagger in a Stones’ biopic in the next five years. Someone get writing it.’

During last week’s Halloween episode of Strictly, 20-year-old Brazier’s hips took centre stage once again when he performed the cha-cha-cha to Come On-A My House by American singer Rosemary Clooney.

Fans were so blown away by the actor’s likeness to Jagger, they even said that they thought Brazier – son of the late reality star Jade Goody and television presenter Jeff Brazier – was one of Jagger’s children.

Brazier, a former model before he was snapped up by EastEnders to play Freddie Slater last year, is also regularly seen wearing blazers, flat caps and scarves – just like Jagger, 80, did in his younger days.

And last night Brazier’s moves like Jagger were kept in check as he performed a powerful Argentine tango to Sail by rock band Awolnation.
