Ilham Anas: Barack Obama’s Indonesian Look-a-Like (Photos)
Ilham Anas is an Indonesian man who bears a striking resemblance to President Barack Obama. The 34-year-old man is an Indonesian magazine photographer and is now collecting paychecks as an Obama look-alike.
Like Obama, Anas is of American and Kenyan descent.
“When Obama won, my colleagues played a practical joke on me – they made me wear a suit, a tie, and took pictures of me posing as Obama,” Anas told Reuters. “The pictures spread very quickly on the Internet. It was phenomenal. Then TV stations and an advertising agency got in touch with me.”
Anas’ new found celebrity status has even resulted in his appearance in an Indonesian pharmaceuticals commercial.
The real Barack Obama spent some of his childhood in Indonesia, so the country has an undeniable attachment to him. Hopefully Ilham won’t completely lose his identity while enjoying the ride as Obama’s twin! Check out more photos below.
