Kim Jong Doppelganger

Howard, 34, who does not disclose his last name, poses as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, with a journalist on a street at Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui shopping district, Nov. 27, 2013.

When Kim came into power about a year ago, Howard's friends teased him for his resemblance to the world's youngest leader. Then on April Fool's Day, the 34-year-old drummer-turned-music producer chopped his hair off and, realizing he could make something out of it, set up a Facebook page.
