I'm not delusional however, I know that the chances of an A-lister actually turning up on my door step are very slim. So, what would be the next best thing? After trawling the internet for some gentle lols, I'm please to say that I've discovered it - a celebrity look-alike of course! What better way would there be to spice up one of my regular "Twilight saga themed bash's" than an appearence from Mr Edward Cullen himself?! Obviously, Edward is a fictional character so he couldn't turn up even if he wanted to. It's even less likely that the actor Robert Pattinson would respond to my invitation and this is where I put in a call to http://www.lookalikes.info/. Here I can hire someone who is the spitting image of R-Patz!
Look- alike Real Thing
Yes, this man thinks that his resemblance to Pattinson is so uncanny that he can make money from people! I think it's fair to say that Jon Fox here is completley delusional, thinking that he looks like the 26-year-old vampire heart throb. Laughable, right?
But seriously, I think that delusion must play a big part in the look-alike industry, kind of like those tone- deaf, chromosonally challenged X-Factor auditionee's. I'm sure we'd all like to think that we look just like one of Brangelina, but most of us know in our heart of hearts that we don't and we never will. If I was convinced that I looked like a young Leonardo Dicaprio- I know for almost certain that there are people in my life decent enough to bring me crashing back down to earth.
Paul Smith however is apparently not as lucky as most of us in the company he keeps. Nobody, it would seem has told poor Mr Smith that despite the fact that he has convinced himself that he is the spitting image of Jude Law there is in actual fact, very little likeness. I mean, okay - you're both white males but the similarities stop there.

Faker Real one
Who looks in the mirror and thinks "Gosh, I look so much like *insert celebrities name here*, I'm going to try and make me some money"? One must be quite arrogant to look in the mirror and think that they look so much like Kim Kardashian that they can path a career for themselves by turning up to parties and standing around.
To www.lookalikes.info's credit however, they do have some look-alikes on the books that actually look remarkably similar to those whom they are impersonating. Although, I am slightly suspicious of the authenticity of some of the pictures on lookalikes.info, let's just say that a few of the pictures came straight from Google images. Their claims may not be legit (either that, or they look so much like the celebs that they've fooled even me). Carlton Walls, in my opinion looks so uncannily like Hugh Grant that I can almost hear him saying "I am an island! I'm bloody Ibiza".

Faux Woah
So, people are constantly telling you that you look like a celeb. You decide to take the plunge and sign up to a look-alike agency to look for work for you. But what if you look like someone really ugly? Imagine, if you will that you are constantly being hired to come to parties so that people can laugh at you due to your resemblance to Susan Boyle and Donatella Versace. That would definalty be one of the most depressing jobs ever! (and I'm including embalmer in this)
Writing this made me think about what celebrity I look like. I don't really look like anyone, but much like Jon Fox and Paul Smith I'm not going to let that stop me! Once, a really drunk girl told me that I look like model Jay Camilleri. I took this as a high compliment even though It's not remotley true. My sister told me she thought I look like Simon Amstell a couple of years ago, but I think she was trying to insult me. What do you think?
Simon Amstell Moi

Just grow your hair a little more and you could be a lookalike for Simon Amstell :)
