A fish with giant Beverly Hills style 'filler lips' baffled locals - who joked that it looked like superstar Kim Kardashian.

A group of fishermen caught the bizarre tilapia fish with its swollen 'Trout Pout' in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, on January 9.

One of the anglers said: 'We were so confused because we have never seen this kind of fish before. We decided to release it back into the water.'

The fisherman said the creature reminded him of celebrities who spend a fortune on cosmetic work to pump up their kissers.

He added: 'The fish had its treatment for free. He didn't need a clinic like those American celebrities.'

Poor water quality, including elevated ammonia or nitrite levels, can stress fish, making them more susceptible to infections and physical abnormalities like lip swelling.

The fish's unusual appearance drew comparisons to celebrities known for their prominent lips.

Among them is Kim Kardashian, the American media personality, socialite, and businesswoman, whose full lips have become iconic.

Her look has influenced beauty trends worldwide, with many seeking to copy her signature feature using makeup techniques or cosmetic procedures like lip fillers.
