Even the former President and Hillary Clinton were taken by the accuracy of his likeness! Will the real Bill Clinton please stand up? That's what you would say if former President Bill Clinton and Tim Watters were sitting in the same room together. Watters is an actor and Clinton look-alike whose appearance is so authentic that when Clinton speaks on television, his son calls the president "Daddy." Watters, a real-estate agent in Florida, says, "Not one single day goes by when someone doesn't come up to me and ask me if I'm Bill Clinton, or tell me how much I look like the president." He finds all this amusing, considering that it all started as a big joke around the office, about the time of the presidential election. "Everyday, I would return to my office and there would be another picture of Bill Clinton on my desk. I decided not to let the opportunity pass me by," Watters says. Watters goes to great lengths to play his part. To prepare, he wets his hair and applies a gray mousse. He then blows it dry and uses a white hairspray for some highlights, his final look is extremely believable but he doesn't stop there. He dresses four to five people as Secret Service Agents, complete with ear pieces and sunglasses and has a limousine decked out with American flags on the front with the stereo blasting "Hail to the Chief." "When I stop into a McDonalds, it really takes people by surprise," he says. His likeness to Clinton has garnered recognition on such shows as The Geraldo Show, The Maury Povich Show, Rush Limbaugh and at political rallies, conventions and meetings. He has also been a celebrity guest on a game show in Japan, performing stand-up comedy. Watters' is even learning to play the saxophone! |
