Doppelgangers

The vast majority of celebrity lookalikes are intrinsically shit, but this guy's attempt at Steve Coogan is particularly lame:


The same agency also had a couple of nonce-wing versions of Ruud Van Nistelrooy on their books. Maybe if I was organising a sex offenders benefit dinner I could invite this duo along to entertain the various patrons of my ill-advised charity:




Virtually every lookalike serves only as derisory reimagining of the original celebrity. Even if the original celebrity was a bit lacklustre (Odd Job, Martin Clunes, Oliver Skeete) these chaps manage to make you pine for the real deal. Also, the ethnic lookalikes seem to qualify for their role through a vague similarity in skin tone alone (Barack Obama, Jamelia, Oliver Skeete).


Anyone who can specify an episode of 'The Royle Family' where Ricky Tomlinson made this particular facial expression wins a prize:
