A POSTIE who looks like Aquaman star Jason Momoa claims he was booted off Facebook for impersonating him.

Ian Wills, 52, said he once met the Hollywood actor at a Comic Con and was told: “You could be my stunt double.”

Dad-of-three Ian set up the “Jason Momoa lookalike” Facebook page for bookings in 2019.

But his account was suspended last week for breaking “community standards on impersonation” — leaving him at risk of losing thousands of pounds of work.

Ian, of Wolverhampton, said: “It’s like I’m getting punished for looking too much like Jason Momoa.

“I could be potentially losing thousands of pounds worth of bookings with the Facebook page being down.

“It’s a busy season coming up, there are a hell of a lot of Comic Cons coming up and no way of advertising apart from on my website and socials.

"It’s completely infuriating.

“I try to do everything I possibly can so that it looks legit and it’s not misleading the public in any way.

“It’s possibly an algorithm issue, they use their bots and they look for certain words and they’ll just suspend you straight away.”

After being contacted by journalists, Facebook reinstated Ian’s page.
