"As a Will Smith lookalike I take great pride in the work I do. I am not Will Smith nor do I tell people I am, there is only one of him. I am a professional Will Smith lookalike/actor someone who was blessed to look like such an admirable person.

Lookalikes are a serious business, which is why I go a long way to ensure the work I do is both professional and beneficial to those I encounter and for the image of Will Smith."

26.05.2007 - Keeping Up Appearances in Italy :::

It just so happened that I was in Italy the same time as Will Smith (celebrating his 10th Anniversary). I always say to clients to tell the people that I am a lookalike, but in this instance let's just say the clients were young and had a cunning plan up their sleeves. The fact they could not speak very good english meant they could basically tell me anything with a smile and all I could do was nod. So a restaurant cordoned off, 2 VIP spots in 2 nightclubs, 4 bodyguards, countless camera phone pictures, bottles of Dom Perignon and oysters, and arriving back to my hotel at 7am.........what a night!. (more to come on that)
