This 70-yr-old Trump of Aleppo' eats, sleeps and breathes yellow for the last 36 years
One look at 70-year-old Abu Zakkour, and the phrase 'yellow, yellow, dirty fellow', a favourite childhood jingle, will instantly pop to mind. This 70-year-old mystery man (he refuses to divulge the reason behind his eccentricity) has also become part of Syrian city of Aleppo's heritage. Such is his love for yellow that he has abided by the full monochrome look for 36 years and also eyes the Guinness Book. His entire existence is yellow'ed'. This star has many fans and one such restaurant owner has erected his statue with 'The Trump of Aleppo' engraved in Arabic (obvious much?).

This hilarious poster has garnered many likes and has been shared numerous times on social media.

The net can't seem to stop gushing over the look of pure anguish on the boy's face and his redemptive act.
