25 / Being a Celeb Lookalike
Sometimes people aren’t who they appear to be. You may think you saw Leonardo DiCaprio in that restaurant, but maybe you were just looking at a celebrity lookalike.
A professional lookalike is a person whose job it is to make public appearances as a famous star. Today, there’s a big demand for famous lookalikes for TV shows, conventions, trade shows, and social events. Greg Thompson, an agent, says “lookalikes add an element of fun to an event for the fraction of the cost of hiring the real thing”.
However, being a professional lookalike is not all glamor – it is also a lot of hard work. Celebrity lookalikes must study the appearance of their celebrities very carefully. This means they must copy their hair styles and buy the same kinds of clothes. This can be very expensive. Compared to celebrities, lookalikes do not have millions of dollars to spend on clothing and makeup. But they have to achieve the same look as their celebrity for less money. In addition, they have to pay attention to their celebrity’s weight. If their celebrity loses weight they must go on a diet, and if they gain weight they must do the same.
Being a celebrity lookalike also involves a lot of study. They must be able to make the public think that they are that person. They must learn how to walk, move and sound, like their celebrity. This isn’t as easy as it sounds and demands months of training. They must also learn their celebrity’s gestures. For example, Bill Clinton is famous for his thumbs up sign and Brad Pitt for his boyish smile.
A good celebrity lookalike can earn as much as $600 for just an hour’s appearance, or $10,000 for a performance. If their celebrity is popular, they can earn a lot of money. But if suddenly their celebrity falls out of favor, they might be out of work. For example, Lindsay Lohan lookalikes were once very much in demand, but today there isn’t much work for them. The same is true of Lance Armstrong and Oscar Pistorius lookalikes.
There is another negative side to the job. People who work as celebrity doubles receive both positive and negative attention. One Taylor Swift lookalike says there were times she loved the attention, but there were other times she got mean messages on Twitter. Once she was even attacked by an angry fan.
