Declaring you are a celebrity can actually turn you into a temporary celebrity in your little world. And if by accident you look like a star, you can easily trick others into believing you. If you are either a Tom Cruise or a Morgan Freeman lookalike, chances are people will mistake you for the real one. Now, you have two options: to reveal your true identity or cash in on the opportunity and live your own celebrity moment. The fun starts when star-struck fans are so lost that they cannot figure out the difference between real stars and their doppelgangers and flaunt selfies or pictures with them on social media.
