How Strictly’s Bobby Brazier is copying Rolling Stone idol Mick Jagger (and they even have the same snake hips and signature pout!)
He has the same snake hips, signature pout and dynamic stage presence.
No wonder there is now a clamor to cast Bobby Brazier as Mick Jagger in a biopic about the Rolling Stones legend.
Strictly fans have become obsessed with the uncanny resemblance between EastEnders star Brazier, 20, and Sir Mick at the same age.
TikTok users are sharing videos comparing the couple – and getting millions of views.
The similarity was first noticed during Brazier’s samba to Candi Staton’s Young Hearts Run Free, which he performed with his dance partner Dianne Buswell last month.

One social media user wrote: ‘Bobby Brazier must 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 soon they’re missing a trick.’
Meanwhile, another fan wrote: ‘I’m calling it now. Bobby Brazier will play Mick Jagger in a Stones biopic for the next five years. Someone write it.’
During last week’s Halloween episode of Strictly, 20-year-old Brazier’s hips took center stage again as he performed the cha-cha-cha to Rosemary Clooney’s Come On-A My House.
Fans were so impressed by the actor’s resemblance to Jagger that they even said they thought Brazier – son of late reality star Jade Goody and television host Jeff Brazier – was one of Jagger’s children.
Brazier, a former model before being picked by EastEnders last year to play Freddie Slater, is also regularly seen wearing blazers, flat caps and scarves – just as Sir Mick, 80, did in his younger years.

It was after Bobby joined EastEnders last year in the role of Freddie Slater – which had an immediate impact on the ratings – and subsequently won a National Television Award for Best Newcomer, that BBC chiefs decided to sign him up for Strictly.
“Everyone loves him – young people, old people, boys, girls, women and men,” a source told Mail On Sunday.
‘There are big plans for him. He has the ability to act, but also to participate in digital content, which appeals to the youth. He’s become a star on EastEnders and if the bosses have their way he won’t be going anywhere for a very long time.’
Within the BBC, Brazier is credited as the reason why hundreds of thousands of teenagers now tune in to EastEnders, where his character is a cheeky charmer just like himself.
