In the video, which attracted over 11,000 views, Will is swarmed by women who try to get as close to him as possible.
Some of them have their arms wrapped around him, and reach out their hands to touch him.
A couple of the women are even seen planting kisses on his face.
Will, who quickly gained attention for being Channing Tatum’s double, smiled throughout and appeared to enjoy being mobbed by adoring fans.
“The Argentines are trying to take my limbs away,” he joked in the post.
Will, who was born in the UK, gained a large following after he quit his job as a waiter to become a full-time stripper.
Now based in Melbourne, Australia, he tours weekly as part of a strip show, Magic Men, which is a tribute to the 2012 movie Magic Mike, starring Channing Tatum.
With his fame comes some challenges, however, and Will has previously spoken out on his identity being used by scammers, as reported by Need To Know.
He has warned fans before to “be careful” online.
Will said, “Please block them immediately.
“Scammers out of control – our team is blocking thousands a day.
“Please be safe.
“If you are unsure enough to message us, then just know it’s fake.
“Be careful and do not send your hard-earned money to these f*s.”
Will has also addressed his likeness to the Hollywood star, and the moment he realised he could profit from his striking resemblance to the actor.
He spoke out in an interview with the Argentinian press, El Destape.
Will said: “On the Magic Men website, people who come to the show can choose which waiter they want to attend to them, among a catalogue of photos of the cast.
“At first, when they came to me, they always chose me for being ‘the one who looks like Channing Tatum’ and not for Will Parfitt.
“All the girls wanted to be with Channing Tatum.
“There, I understood that I could make money with this physical resemblance.
“And the owner of Magic Men was surprised by this and did not hesitate to send me to the gym to train to be part of the cast of dancers.
“I went from waiter to stripper.
“Today, I am the main partner of the owner of Magic Men.”
