Move over, Lewis — there’s another Capaldi stealing the spotlight! Lewis Capaldi’s older brother, Anthony Capaldi, has officially gone viral after launching a TikTok channel filled with hilarious content poking fun at their uncanny resemblance and Lewis’s infamous Formula 1 mix-up earlier this year.
The 32-year-old, who was once scouted while working in their father’s fishmongers in Bathgate, Scotland, has become a small-screen favorite thanks to his down-to-earth humor and perfectly timed self-deprecating jokes. But it was one particular moment — when F1 fans mistook him for his superstar brother during a chaotic pit lane interview — that launched him into unexpected fame.

In his first viral TikTok, Anthony recreated the now-legendary moment with a cheeky twist, wearing Lewis’s trademark sunglasses and pretending to sign autographs before shouting in mock frustration: “I’m not him! I just sell haddock!” The clip exploded online, earning over 5 million views within days and turning Anthony into an overnight internet sensation.
Fans flooded the comments section with laughter, writing things like “Lewis 2.0 but funnier!” and “This family’s DNA is 90% comedy.” Others couldn’t get over how similar the brothers look, joking that “Lewis just shaved and became Anthony.”

Since then, Anthony’s TikTok has become a comedy goldmine. From parody videos of Lewis’s hit songs — including a hilarious fish-themed take on “Someone You Loved” — to behind-the-scenes clips from the family’s fish shop, his content has struck a perfect balance between heartfelt and hysterical. One fan wrote, “Only the Capaldis could turn a fish counter into a stage!”
But beyond the jokes, Anthony’s channel offers a glimpse into the close-knit Capaldi family dynamic that fans have always loved. He often includes throwback clips of Lewis visiting the shop, cracking jokes with their parents, and laughing about fame in the most down-to-earth way possible. “We’re just a bunch of daft Scots trying to make people smile,” Anthony said in a recent post.

It’s clear that the Capaldi humor runs deep — and fans can’t get enough of it. Many have called for Anthony to appear alongside Lewis in future interviews or even on stage. “Imagine the two of them doing stand-up together,” one user commented. “Britain wouldn’t survive the laughter.”
The viral attention has also sparked opportunities for Anthony, who recently hinted at a few television offers and brand partnerships — though he insists he’s still happiest “knee-deep in ice and cod fillets.”

As for Lewis, he’s taken his brother’s newfound fame in stride, sharing one of Anthony’s videos with the caption, “He’s funnier, fitter, and smells more like fish. Can’t compete.”
Anthony’s quick wit and relatable charm have made him a fan favorite — not just as Lewis Capaldi’s brother, but as a comedic talent in his own right. And judging by the millions of people laughing along, the world seems more than ready for two Capaldis in the spotlight.
