An eight-year-old has become an internet sensation after his bodybuilding hero posted his picture online. Brandon Blake, from Kildare, Ireland, has the physique of a professional athlete - despite only being at infant school. Brandon, who weighs 25kg, prefers doing chin-ups and bouncing on his trampoline than playing with toys. Now Brandon has become an online phenomenon after fitness star Frank Medrano shared a picture of the eight-year-old on Facebook. The image shows the two side-by-side - with Brandon, who turned eight this week, looking like a carbon copy US celebrity. Medrano wrote: 'Ran into this lil guy's Instagram and put a big smile in my face Only 7 years old this lil man Brandon showing some dedication. 'Feels great to influence such a young generation and I hope he's living a happy and healthy life.' The picture has now been shared almost 5,500 times. Brandon said today his favourite sport is gymnastics and he hopes to one day win a gold medal at the Olympics. He said he enjoys working out as it 'makes him feel happy'. He said: 'I want to be able to do all the things which Frank (Medrano) can do and I also want to be really strong as well.' Proud father Mark, 32, a former semi-pro footballer, said: 'Frank Medrano spotted him on Instagram and took a screengrab and put it on Facebook. Dailymail
