Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has been likened to singer Sean Millis within several viral social media posts in recent weeks, but who exactly is Millis? Read on as we reveal all you need to know about the Australian.
Rasmus Hojlund remains without his maiden Premier League goal more than four months into the campaign, and unsurprisingly – this has resulted in several social media memes poking fun at the forward going viral.
The likes of Mykhailo Mudryk and Jadon Sancho have been victims of the unforgiving social media memes in the past, but football fans on Twitter and TikTok seem to have moved on to Manchester United striker Hojlund.
His goalless league campaign has often been joked about on the platforms accompanied by a video of Australian singer Sean Millis, who many claim bears a resemblance to the Red Devils’ £72 million man.
Who Is Sean Millis? Viral Lookalike Of Rasmus Hojlund
Sean Millis is a 22-year-old singer, songwriter and TikTok star originating from Melbourne, Australia. Millis made his name on popular singing competition ‘The Voice’, in which he impressed judges with his fantastic voice and touched the hearts of viewers with his inspiring backstory.
The young singer has suffered with an incurable disability known as Hunter Syndrome throughout his life. At just nine months old, Millis became the youngest person in Australia to be diagnosed with the syndrome at the time.
Due to his condition, he suffers with a number of health issues. This includes a limited lung capacity, joint stiffness and mild hearing impairment, and he must also make weekly visits to the hospital. Despite this, Millis has maintained his passion for singing, and has even ventured into the acting industry.
Millis has a regular fan base who enjoy his music, boasting an impressive 51,000 active monthly listeners on popular music streaming platform ‘Spotify’, and appears in the film ‘Disconnected’ – due to be released in 2024.
Support from listeners, as well as from family and friends comes from far and wide, and this could be seen when two of his regular nurses made the nine hour journey from Melbourne to Sydney to support Millis during his successful audition earlier in the year.
Does Millis Know About The Hojlund Memes?
Yes, Millis is well aware of the Hojlund memes.
The singer regularly live streams on TikTok live, and after receiving hundreds of comments in the chat referencing Hojlund – he confirmed that he had seen the memes and comparisons, and has since sent a message of support for the Manchester United striker.

While the posts from football fans are mainly used to poke fun at Hojlund, Millis has made it clear that he is not bothered by his appearance being used for comedic purposes.
Millis has also used the virality of his image as an opportunity to promote his latest song ‘Waiting On a Miracle’, for which he has posed in a Red Devils jersey singing the lyrics in a recent Instagram post.
