Ryan Skeggs has recently been signed by a look-alike agency following Obama's triumph in the US elections.
He told The Sun: "I first started getting recognised when he was running against Hillary Clinton."
His girlfriend Wendy sent some pictures of him to agency fakefaces.co.uk and they happily put him on the books.
Following the elections Ryan has had a busy time, he explains: "Since Obama came to power it's gone crazy. I did some filming up in London for French TV.
"I was flanked by two guys dressed as Secret Service agents and people were scared to speak to me directly.
"They kept asking for permission to say something. "I felt nervous at the start but then I thought, 'Why don't I just run with it.'
"So I put on my Barack Obama accent and had fun. I had people ringing up their mums, saying 'I've met the president.'"
Ryan is now working on his 'Obama voice' and looking at recordings to try to copy his mannerisms.
