American archer [Brady Ellison](http://www.teamusa.org/usa-archery/athletes/Brady-Ellison) is a three-time Olympian and, as of Saturday, a two-time silver medalist, taking home a second-place win in this year’s team event. But the 27-year-old champion might be getting more attention for something totally unrelated to his archery skills, as spectators have noticed his striking resemblance to everyone’s favorite [Oscar winner](http://time.com/4241112/leonardo-dicaprio-oscar-engraved/). Here’s Ellison, posing before the games in front of an American flag: And here he is in competition: Meanwhile, here’s DiCaprio biking recently in New York — he also favors a baseball cap, a bit of scruff and a patriotic red-white-and-blue color palette: It’s definitely an apt comparison. Ellison will have a chance to nab another medal at the games on Tuesday, when he takes part in the individual event. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4443005/rio-2016-olympics-leonardo-dicaprio-brady-ellison/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4443005/rio-2016-olympics-leonardo-dicaprio-brady-ellison/"},"headline":"This Leonardo DiCaprio Lookalike Nabbed an Olympic Medal for Archery in Rio","datePublished":"2016-08-08T14:40:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:12.273Z","description":"Is that you, Leo?","url":"https://time.com/4443005/rio-2016-olympics-leonardo-dicaprio-brady-ellison/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Summer Olympics","2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics","Sports"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4443005/rio-2016-olympics-leonardo-dicaprio-brady-ellison/","name":"This Leonardo DiCaprio Lookalike Nabbed an Olympic Medal for Archery in Rio"}}]}] ```
