Since moving out of the White House, Barack Obama has been travelling the world. He has clocked up serious voyager miles, jetting off to places like Bali, Italy and the British Virgin Islands.
Many people believe the former US president may have been enjoying some downtime in Cape Verde after “spotting” him on the island.
As it turns out people have actually been having their photos taken with dad-of-five Jose Oliveira, who happens to look a lot like Barack Obama.
Jose says he gets stopped numerous times a day by people commenting on the resemblance.
“Ever since Barack Obama was made president I have had people stopping me to tell me I look like him, so it has been happening for almost 10 years now,” he said.
“Some people even ask me if I am his brother.
However, he says he is not bothered by the number of people who stop him because of his famous doppelganger.
“I work as a tour guide so I am always meeting new people and their reaction is always the same. As soon as they see me they say: ‘Oh my God, you look just like Obama!’
“I find it very funny and I don’t mind posing for photographs with people.
“I have at least 15 photographs and selfies taken every day.
“President Obama is a good man, so I like it when people compare me to him. It is also good for business.
“I never try to dress like Obama or copy him in any way, I am just myself, but people still stop to tell me how much I look like him.
“I have never thought about working as an Obama lookalike before, but maybe I would if given the opportunity. If it was an honest and respectful job that allowed me to support my family I would think about it.
“I have never said I look like Obama, people tell me I do, and it’s cool. But personally I say Barack Obama looks like me.”
