People in social media got mixed up when they saw a girl very similar to New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, who appears on video, and claims to be herself the New Zealand Prime Minister, and the girl wears the same clothes that Ardern is used to wearing, but this girl is in fact the comedian Melanie Presswell, who addresses her viewers by saying, "Hello, I'm Jacinda Ardern, I seem to have a lot of fans here, and I would like to take a selfie with one of my greatest fans." Within moments, the true Ardern appears in front of the viewers, and Preswell puts her arm around the Prime Minister's neck. And she asks her, "What is your name?", And the prime minister will answer, "My name is Jacinda." Then the prime minister will make a loud laugh and leave the place. Many viewers expressed the confusion at first, given the extreme similarity between the two women. Others mocked their inability to distinguish between them. The video garnered more than four million views, with over 17,000 likes, and thousands of comments.
This is not the first time that quasi-global leaders have appeared. Last year, people saw in the streets of Hong Kong two men, one resembling the Philippine President, Rodrigo Duterte, and the other resembling the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, and the two men shook hands with people on the streets, and picked up with them The pictures, and many believed that they were indeed the leaders of the Philippines and North Korea, given the great similarity between them.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has similarities in China, Britain and Hollywood. In China, the Putin-style, simple farmer, has become a local superstar appearing on TV shows and is very popular with his agricultural community. In Britain, British actor Daniel Craig, who plays the role of police personality James Bond, has some resemblance to Putin, especially when he wears glasses. In Russia, the Russian comedian, Dmitry Grachev, took advantage of his close resemblance to Putin, embodying the president's personality, and reflects what he does in his daily life.
In China, the authorities have banned any activity similar to the president's likes, Xi Jinping, as well as their appearances in social media videos, and whoever does so falls under the risk of "violating the leader's image." The Chinese opera singer, Liu Keqin, is considered the closest to the Chinese president, but he immigrated to Germany after the harassment he suffered in his country. His name was banned on the Internet, and his account was closed for the same reason "violation of the leader's image." The Chinese authorities consider Kikin's similarity to Shi Jinping as "very sensitive". For the same reason, a photo of him and educational videos have been banned, in which he appears sitting at home in a sweatshirt and offers singing lessons.
When Kekin, 63, tried to create another account on the same app, he was once again banned, because his image looked like official images of the Chinese leader. However, he is not the only one who resembles the Chinese president, who is shared by the similarities to an anonymous food seller, who sparked a sensation on the Internet in December last year, for his very similar likeness to the Chinese leader.
