Celebrity Lookalikes
Enter the name of a person into Google Images, add the keywords “lookalike” or “impersonator,” set the search type to “faces” in the advanced options, and you end up with a gallery of pro or amateur lookalikes (that is, people who make money by impersonating real stars, or people who just happen to look like a star). Here’s a sample search query:
madonna (lookalike | impersonator)
And here are some of the fake VIPs you’ll discover – to book them, you’ll pay anything from a couple of hundred bucks to several thousand per evening:
