A look alike of the Korean star 'Psy' had a gala time with top Hollywood celebrities at Cannes.

The fake PSY partied with stars such as Naomie Harris and Adrien Brody at a party thrown by luxury jeweller- Chopard, the Sun reported.

The man also tried his hands at DJ decks at an event hosted by a Russian oil-magnate and where big names including Trance beauty Rosario Dawson were present.

A source at the film festival revealed to the publication that the fraudster, Denis Carre, 34, who wore Psy's trademark suit jacket and round shade, also had three security guards with him through out the event.

The source added that the man enjoyed free drinks, including three bottles of Cristal Rose champagne with lunch.

Carre also had a "manager" with him to negotiate for an upcoming appearance of 'Psy' at a festival in Monaco.

He even performed the 'Gangnam Style' dance live on French radio.

Carre, who belongs to a small town of Blanzat, told the publication that he got the idea to pose as the Korean star when he was mistaken for him in a Dublin club and people gathered around him and got totally out of control.

Meanwhile, the original 'Psy', tweeted about his look alike: "Seems like there's another ME at Cannes. . . say Hi to him.
