I’m a Justin Bieber look-alike — it’s terrifying when crying fans swarm me

YouTube and Instagram pages.“One of my best shows was the date that I did in Monaco with other look-alikes such as Rihanna,” gushed Desclos, whose goal is to fill the void during lulls between Bieber concerts.Along with being blessed with star-making looks, Desclos works hard to emulate Bieber.“A lot of people told me that I look like Justin Bieber in the past, however, I do make sure to dress like him, said Desclos. “A look or signature style I would say I have of Justin’s is the same tattoos as him.”He added, “Likewise, when I’m onstage, I need to be the most Justin I can be, and I think I’m good at mimicking him.”The Frenchie’s efforts paid dividends as fans have a hard time distinguishing him from the bonafide Biebs — which has led to some strange and hilarious instances of mistaken identity.“I would say the best and funniest reaction I got was people thinking I was Justin and knocking on my hotel door at 2 a.m.,” recounted Desclos while describing one such interaction. “There were so many of them, taking pictures and asking me to sign pictures of Justin Bieber.”Some reactions weren’t quite as humorous, according to the lookalike, who recounted a terrifying encounter in which he was “mobbed with crying and hugs.”However, Desclos said he ultimately wasn’t bothered as he understands the power of the “Beauty and the Beat” crooner’s fanbase.

In the event that fans get too handsy, perhaps he should start training mixed martial arts like this Michael Jackson impersonator, who delivered an epic bea-hee-tdown to a drunk who tried “starting something” in Las Vegas last year.Unfortunately, not everyone’s such a fan of the lookalike’s pastime with some critics slamming him for mimicking the Canuck superstar.“Stop trying to be.
