Various security measures are used to protect the US President when he travels: a rocket-grenade launching limo, hundreds of Secret Service staff – and even a body double.
When Barack Obama rolled into town for the G20 summit in Australia, it seems his lookalike wasn’t far away.
As the President was driven through the streets of Brisbane in his heavily guarded limousine dubbed The Beast, a “decoy” Barack Obama was snapped by a local newspaper photographer – in a decoy Beast.

The unnamed Obama lookalike even did the obligatory wave for the cheering crowd, the Courier-Mail reported.
It’s not the first time a world leader has had a body double.
