Barack Obama and Kim Jong-un Impersonators Take on Los Angeles

President Obama was in Los Angeles yesterday, creating a traffic nightmare for commuters. News sources said he was making a guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, then attending a fundraising dinner. They were wrong. Kind of.

Photographers Jamie Fullerton and John Chappie were able to capture two of perhaps the most convincing celebrity impersonators hitting the streets of Los Angeles, according to VICE. The photos, which depicted two people impersonating President Obama and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, quickly made their way up to the Reddit front page.

The two leaders seemed to have had a blast in L.A. Obama gave Kim some tips on his much maligned hairdo before visiting the Hollywood sign and Sony Pictures (no hard feelings over The Interview, perhaps?), then hitting up Venice Beach to shoot hoops (move over, Dennis Rodman) and skateboarding. And of course, a day out in SoCal wouldn’t be complete without a Double-Double from In-N-Out.

The cherry on top would have been Katy Perry blasting on the car stereo.
