Who would have thought the 25-year-old tanned, skin-headed lawyer, Iman Ishak would end up looking like the US President, Barack Obama himself.
Iman, a DJ-cum-lawyer, had the President's resemblance in his smile, ears and behaviour.
Speaking to The Star, Iman had realised the resemblance during the 2008 election when an English lecturer who was reading an article on Obama turned to Iman and said that he (Iman) resembled the President.
He added during his visit to the London's Madame Tussauds, visitors were stunned at his likeness when he stood next to the President's wax figure.
Iman was informed of the President's visit to Malaysia by his friends and family who suggested him to meet the President. However, he said that he would not know what to say if he met, reported The Star.

Obama look-alike, Ilham Anas (l) from Indonesia
Iman is however not the only one who resembled the President. 34-year-old Ilham Anas, a photographer from Indonesia is also known for his similarity to Obama.
A BBC report in 2009, said soon after appearing on Indonesia's premier TV talk show, he did an advertisement as Obama and received other marketing offers from various companies in the region.
Ilham’s increasing popularity rose after his colleagues, at a local teenage magazine, asked him to pose with a suit; soon, they were taking photos and sending them to friends.
The real US President, Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Malaysia this weekend. Obama will become the first US president to visit Malaysia in the past 50 years. He is currently ending his visit to Japan.
US President, Barack Obama
