The 'real' Mo Farah is a reportedly a student living in Turkey who dreams of meeting his Olympic hero namesake.
He has apparently confessed it would "amazing" to visit the U.K and meet the running champion one day.
The comments come after Sir Mo Farah revealed he was illegally trafficked to the U.K aged nine under a false identity and forced to work as a servant.
In the BBC documentary The Real Mo Farah, Sir Mo explained how he was born Hussein Abdi Kahin in Somaliland and was brought to the UK using false documents to work in domestic servitude for a family with younger children.
Sir Mo was brought to Britain instead of the real Mohamed Farah, who the documentary revealed still lives in Somalia and has never been to the UK.
But the 'real' Mo has since revealed he travelled to Turkey two years ago with dreams of eventually living in the U.K.
Speaking from Turkey - where he studies at Istanbul Aydin University - Mo said things had been "crazy" since the BBC documentary aired last week, and people have been messaging him from all over the world.
"Can you help me get there [U.K]? I would like to meet Mo Farah," he told The Sun when speaking about the incredible turn of events.
The publication reports how Mo had been staying in £2-a-day digs with fellow students until recently, and worked part-time at a furniture shop until it closed down.
A local shopkeeper describes Mo as a "very nice, very polite man" who always has "time to talk and tell you about his day".
One of his student peers recalls Mo being "very popular" in his dormitory and always had a smile on his face.
"Mohammed was definitely very excited about going to England and would talk about that a lot. That was his dream," they revealed.
According to sources speaking to The Sun, the 'real' Mo "has never expressed any bitterness about his situation" but the family feel "very bad" for him.
When asked in his groundbreaking documentary whether Mo can come to the U.K, Sir Mo said: "I will try my best to make that happen."
In the BBC production, Sir Mo and his namesake connect over the phone at one point.
Si Mo tells him: "I want to say thank you. I used your name. I came here as a child and it’s been hard."
The real Mo says: "It’s OK, you’re still my brother."
Sir Mo says: "I feel something’s been lifted off my shoulders."
He plans to stick with the name and has sought legal advice on speaking to the Home Office. Producers were unable to contact any of his family in Djibouti or the man who met Mo off the plane.
