A British supermarket worker has moved to Africa to live like a real-life Tarzan.

DeWet Du Toit, 24, quit his job as a security guard at a Co-op store in Manchester and made the trip to South Africa to live like the film character after he became obsessed with him while living in Namibia as a youngster.

He said: ''People might say I'm crazy, but I know this is what I was born to do. I'm like Tarzan in so many ways.

''My best friend is an elephant called Shaka, and I spend more time with monkeys, zebras and crocodiles than I do with people.''

DeWet is now filming his daily life and hoping Hollywood scouts will hire him for a movie.
