Obama Look-Alike in Indonesia

By Queuebot in Everything Else on Feb 25, 2009 at 7:12 pm

Ilham Anas of Indonesia has become famous for his resemblance to President Barrack Obama.  What first started out as a joke, when his friends posted pictures of him on the internet, has turned into his 15-minutes of fame:

β€œThe pictures spread very quickly on the Internet. It was phenomenal. Then TV stations and an advertising agency got in touch with me.”

Ilham says he is often mistaken for Obama and people ask to take pictures with him.

β€œI never thought I would be a star in a commercial, then this happened. It’s very fortunate,” Ilham said.

    I believe that we all have a doppelganger somewhere in the world. I’ve run into these “copies” and am always surprised at how similar they look to some people I know. It’s kind of freaky!

    He looks similar at certain angles, but I def wouldn’t mistake him for Obama.

    Nope. No more than, say, my sister and I have the same cheekbones or something.
