When the US President Barack Obama was driven through the streets of Brisbane in his heavily guarded limousine dubbed 'The Beast,' his doppelganger was snapped apparently in a decoy Beast.
Local news photographer Adam Smith, who was stationed on a corner to capture the entourage as it motored past, took dozens of rapid fire shots of the fast-moving vehicles when they arrived in Brisbane for the G20, the Courier-Mail reported.
Later, Smith noticed subtle differences in the person (or people) he captured riding in the back, while reviewing his work.
The unnamed possible Obama look-alike even did the obligatory wave for the cheering crowd.
