Meet Ex President Barack Obama's Lookalike

Jose Oliveira, is a Cape Verdean Tour Guide, but his striking resemblance to the former President of the United State has kept many tourist flocking around him.


The 43- year -old says, since Barak Obama became president he has even become a tourist attraction himself. He says several people keep asking him if he was Obama's brother, he told the Sun Uk.

"I work as a tour guide so I am always meeting new people and their reaction is always the same. As soon as they see me they say: Oh my God, you just look like Obama!

"I find it very funny and I don't mind posing for photographs with people. I have at least 15 photographs and selfies taken everyday.

"President Obama is a good man, so I like it when people compare me to him. It is also good for business.

"I never try to dress like Obama or copy him in any way, I am just myself, but people still stop to tell me how much I look like him.

I have never thought about working as an Obama lookalike before, but maybe I would, if given the opportunity. If it was an honest and respectful job that allowed me to support my family I would think about it.

"I have never said I look like Obama, people tell me I do, and it's cool. But personally I say Barak Obama looks like me."
