Thank you for sharing your story, my brother with four years had a similar experience to yours, he confused him with a medieval warrior from a movie that we had in a sticker album. The strange thing about it is that just where he says he was appreciated and as if it were a pareidolia, he perfectly represented a silhouette. Over the years I have understood that who they were really interested in was me. My personal experiences have not yet been told openly, maybe one day
