Meet “Dr Distance,” the marathon runner who has been gaining the internet’s attention by dressing up as the famous streamer. He’s got the height, the mustache, the shades, and most importantly, he’s got the signature red vest to complete the cosplay.
While he doesn’t look exactly like the famous streamer and certainly doesn’t meet his six-foot-eight stature, Dr Distance does his best to be a mirror image of Dr Disrespect, even going as far as writing his captions of posts just like the Doc would. Boasting overwhelming confidence in himself while bragging every chance he gets, it certainly sounds just like the internet star.
According to his Twitter account’s bio, Dr Distance certainly lives up to the name as he has competed in marathons for around thirty years. So if he has run a marathon every year for thirty years, that would mean he’s run just under eight hundred miles without factoring in all the training and daily exercise he most likely does.
It adds:
He went as far as messaging esports caster and commentator Jake Lucky, trying to spread his online presence by getting him to post about his endeavors. After multiple messages were sent to him, Jake Lucky finally gave in and posted images of Dr Distance and his running stats on Twitter.
Dr Disrespect fans react to Dr Distance
With such commitment to the character, many fans of the Doc shared their appreciation for Dr Distance, with some joking about him not taking first place.
Given the amount of positive attention he’s receiving, it seems fans of Dr Disrespect are now also big fans of Dr Distance. The Doc has yet to react to the copycat, but when he does, he’ll surely comment on the runner’s placement, most likely saying that the latter’s not the real Doc if he can’t get first place.
