Who is Will Parfitt?<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe 34-year-old first built a following online thanks to his uncanny resemblance to American actor Channing Tatum.<\/p>\n

He started out on social media doing lip syncing videos and soon started to grow an audience. Now, Will has a combined social media following over 12 million.<\/p>\n

\"WillDo you see the resemblance? Because we do! (Instagram @will_parfitt and Getty)<\/p>\n

Now he’s an owner and entertainer of Magic Men Australia, the biggest male revue\ufeff show in the country. Perhaps you’ve seen Will at a hen’s night?\ufeff<\/p>\n

English born, Will and Danny first came out to Australia as backpackers in 2012. \ufeff<\/p>\n

So just how did Will get his start as an entertainer?<\/p>\n

On his YouTube channel\ufeff Will detailed: “I bumped into a club promoter on a drunken night out here in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

“He kept introducing me to all his friends as Channing\ufeff or as Channing’s little English cousin.”<\/p>\n

From there he joined Magic Men and his popularity catapulted over the years and now he is part owner. \ufeff<\/p>\n

As Bec’s bridesmaids walked down\ufeff the aisle and took their seat, the penny dropped.<\/p>\n

\"MAFSI KNOW HIM! (Nine)<\/p>\n

“The guy sitting in the front row. He’s a stripper I’m pretty sure\ufeff. I think,” she whispered to the next bridesmaid over.<\/p>\n

When Bec got to the altar she recognised Will too, but things\ufeff took a turn when Bec outed the best man for sleeping with her friend a few nights before.<\/p>\n

\"MAFSBec had no qualms about picking Will out from the crowd. (Nine)\"MAFSMaybe he would’ve rather that bit stay quiet. (Nine)<\/p>\n

Everyone was quick to laugh it off and like Will said, the most important thing was that he didn’t recognise Bec.<\/p>\n

\ufeffWhat was music to Bec’s dad’s ears was that his new son-in-law wasn’t an entertainer like his best man.<\/p>\n
