Fake Manny Pacquiao with real job goes back to life

Manny Pacquiao may have disappointed his fans on Sunday, but his look-alike Johnny Dagami will never.

The 42-year-old former factory worker, who impersonates the famous boxer, says, “Many people look to me like the real Manny Pacquiao,” reported ‘BBC.com’

People take pictures with him, “because it’s hard to get the real Pacquiao,’ he says.

And Dagami is clearly enjoying his shot at fame. In fact, not only does he look like the real hero, but he also mirrors a similar rags-to-riches life story.

He comes from a poor family and, according to him, he along with wife had a mini grocery shop.

However, in 2002 when he began concentrating on what he terms “my showbiz career” the shop closed down.

But then, there was no looking back, either. “I was able to reach this status… my life has changed because we have the same face,” he says.
