Jose Oliveira, is a 43-year old tour guide in Cape Verde, off the Northwest coast of Africa,who looks just like the 44th and first black president of the United States of America, Barack Obama.
“
Ever since Barack Obama was made president I have had people stopping me to tell me I look like him, so it has been happening for almost 10 years now. Some people even ask me if I am his 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 look just 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 every day.
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 Barack Obama looks like me,” he added
