Kaylee Petrus, a TikTok user from Cape Town, shared a clip responding to commenters on her videos who had said she resembled the “Avengers” actress.

The striking comparison was then shared on Twitter, where it’s received more than 9 million views in just four days.
Petrus’s video drew praise and admiration from thousands of social media users, who called her a “W.O.C.” (woman of color) version of Johansson.
