It is a proper English expression, just not a common one. And yes, I am a native speaker.

Well, firstly, 'us' is a form of 'we'. Then, if you meant 'he is', it is ok in speech but not in such studies. Who can tell whether you were so clever as to replace 'what' with 'who' on purpose or, on the contrary, so forgetful as to mix them up accidentally?

He’s strong to the finish because he eats his spinach, he’s Popeye the sailorman!
That expression exists in french too you fancy englishs dont say it because it does not sense to them saying what refering to a person granted with consciousness as if dogs were stupid uncouscious things theyre just... really dumb thats for sure I dont wanna be rude here just joking but that sentence simply means he is who he is.... aDAHHG
