PIC: Spot-on lookalike gives Louis Theroux an identity crisis

Now that is uncanny.

We’d like to see these two men do a documentary together…

Louis Theroux is one of the world’s finest documentarians — and thanks to the light he’s shone in so many dark places, he has become one of the world’s most recognisable faces.

Which makes it all the more striking that there’s another man out there walking around with Louis Theroux’s exact face. Seriously.

Somebody shared photos of the two men side-by-side on Twitter this week, and the resemblance simply could not be denied.

“Resemblance” might actually be a rather severe understatement. In fact, such is the likeness, Louis Theroux picked up on the phenomenon and tweeted about it himself, writing “Seriously, which one am I?”

Luckily one of the photos has Louis’ name beneath the real deal, but it’s safe to say that the other man could get away with a fair few interviews if he started approaching people accompanied by a cameraman.
