A Michael Jackson impersonator who looks so much like the King of Pop that fans think he is actually the legendary singer has claimed his appearance is "all natural".
Sergio Cortés, who works as an MJ tribute act, has gone viral in recent weeks after a series of videos emerged showing just how much like Jackson he is.
It sparked a conspiracy that the iconic singer is still alive last month, which was followed up by fans demanding he takes a DNA test to prove he is not MJ.
A viewer of his latest video has since questioned if it was possible for Cortés to bear such as uncanny resemblance Michael Jackson without plastic surgery.
They wrote: “I want to know how much this man spent to look like this.”

A fan of Cortés responded: “No surgeries.”
“Impossible,” argued another commentator.
Then Cortés had the final word, replying: “Sorry but I’m natural.”
The astonishing claim that he naturally looks identical to MJ unsurprisingly led to others jumping on the conspiracy he's still alive.
"Yeah, naturally Michael Jackson," one wrote.

Another agreed, adding: "Hmmmm Micheal so you're still alive and you've been deceiving us all these years."
Speculation about Cortés being the real Michael Jackson went viral on Twitter last week when he announced a show in Thailand.
In his biography on his Facebook page, Cortés explained — in Spanish — how his unlikely career came about.
“When I was finishing high school in 1987, a journalist observed that I was similar [to Michael Jackson] and asked me why I didn't put on makeup like he did in a report for a magazine.
“I found it fun. Then, two weeks later, they called me some Swiss producers who promoted Michael Jackson perfume to use my image.
“It was all coincidental that my fanaticism has become my working life.
“Then they also weighed coincidences such as the vocal timbral.”
“For the perfume, of course, he had to give an approval,” Cortés added.
In 1997, Cortés said he got to meet the real Michael Jackson when he was “hired to be the double that waves from the hotel window”.

Cortés added: “I waited so long for that moment throughout my life, that when I lived it I was stunned.”
He said that Michael Jackson was “very kind” and “very helpful”.
Michael Jackson died on June 25 in 2009 at his mansion in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles.
But 10 years later and there are still wild claims that the King of Pop is still alive.
Conspiracy theorists went into a frenzy back in 2016 when Jackson’s daughter Paris uploaded a selfie to Instagram, claiming there was a shadowy figure in the background.
Fans also claimed they heard Michael Jackson’s voice at his son Prince’s graduation this year.
