Seeing Is Believing: Meet President Obama’s Indonesian Look-Alike (PHOTOS)


If you believe in the theory that we all have doubles in the world, you would be delighted to know that President Barack Obama has a double… in Indonesia.
40-yearold Indonesian photographer Ilham Anas bears a striking resemblance to the U.S. President Barack Obama, and Time reports that this unique quality has transformed him into a TV star in his country, and also made him potential target for Islamic fundamentalists.
Here are photos of Anas and after them...see more photos after the cut...

Now, despite the fact Obama is of Kenyan origin and Anas is Indonesian, he is earning a good living as an Obama double. With his toothy smile, oversized ears and cropped black hair, Indonesian Ilham Anas is cashing in as a look-a-like of US President Barack Obama. (Photo Credit: BARM/Fame Pictures)
