Meet the Chinese, Indonesian, Brazilian and others who look like Barack Obama [Photos]

When Barack Obama made history in 2008 as the first African-American president of the United States, he was hailed around the world for the very obvious reasons.

It was also a moment in history that got the black race extremely proud. There were surely a lot of things that people looked to his presidency for and whether or not those things were eventually done for them; it still does not rob history of the fact that such a fine man ever ruled as president of America.

And being one of the world’s most recognizable figures, so many people looked for the best connections they could find to be aligned with him. That was when the doppelgangers or the double-bodies game for who looked most like Obama attracted a lot of attention.

From Asia to Africa, people poured out onto social media to display their looks, proving that they looked like him or not. But really, do these people look like Barack Obama?
