Young fan who dresses like Cuba's Fidel Castro meets his idol

 

An eight-year-old Cuban boy who likes to dress up as Fidel Castro got to meet his idol after Cuba's 88-year-old retired leader invited him and his family to his Havana home for a chat.

 

"I felt a lot of emotion upon seeing Fidel," Marlon Mendez told Reuters on Monday from his home near Havana.

 

"The whole family hugged him. It was my dream to meet Fidel, and I did it... My mother was shaking."

 

There is a brief video at the link. I didn't see the boy's father in the video; only his mother.

 

Also note the Che Guevara picture on his wall.
