Some even ask for his signature. But Jerry isnt famous. He just bears a resemblance(长得像) to someone who is the actor Daniel Radcliffe. Yes, Harry Potter himself! And it has a magical effect on people!I told Jerry he should be a twin model. Thats what Pauline Bailey did. She decided to replicate (模仿) Marilyn Monroes image after she was told she bore a likeness to the star.Bailey says: “I bought books and started reading about Marilyn.

I didnt realize you could make a living out of it.”Now the blonde(金发的) model gets jobs through a specialized agency.

I worried that all the adulation(恭维) might change him and make him leave me behind. “No way,”he said. “We do everything together.”What about you? Which celebrity would you like to be the spit
