Despite the global dominance of the hit series Dear Child, One Piece continues to reign as the most popular “cultural phenomenon” in the current film industry. The adventure of Monkey D. Luffy, led by the talented actor Mackenyu, has captivated audiences, with the standout character being Zoro (played by Mackenyu). Interestingly, Vietnamese audiences have discovered a newcomer with a striking resemblance to this hot character.
The Vietnamese actor in question is Trần Nghĩa. The star of Blue Sky has drawn considerable attention from fans, comparing him to Zoro in One Piece, noting similarities in their looks. Trần Nghĩa himself acknowledged this resemblance and has even shared side-by-side comparisons of himself with Mackenyu, receiving numerous compliments for the similarities.

To further showcase his resemblance, Trần Nghĩa even dyed his hair green and filmed a “5-second cosplay” video of Zoro from One Piece, which garnered nearly a million views on TikTok. Many netizens feel Trần Nghĩa has a striking angle similar to Zoro, differing mainly in being less muscular and having a lighter build. Some fans even suggest that if One Piece were to cast a Vietnamese actor, Trần Nghĩa should be the first name that comes to mind for the role of the pirate swordsman in this live-action adaptation.
