As the election approaches, politicians will find their diaries packed with various events. It’s an equally busy time for those born with the gift of looking like a politician.
‘I’m lucky that I look like Boris,’ says Drew, a Mayor of London ‘lookalike’ who is on the books at the Susan Scott agency. ‘I often get stopped and while it’s not always pleasant, it’s nowhere near what a David Cameron lookalike I know gets.’ Alas, Boris won’t have Drew’s vote. ‘I may make money out of Boris, but I have never voted for him and that’s not going to change.’
With election party season on the horizon, Mr S has gathered a selection of his favourite lookalikes to invite to your own soirées.
Boris Johnson:
David Cameron:
Alex Salmond:
However, there is one politician missing from the pack – a Nigel Farage lookalike. The agency is hiring so if you look like Farage or know someone who does, Mr S asks that you get in touch immediately.
