Australia's own Kim Jong-Un (North Korean Leader)
-
A haircut and some makeup was all it took for an Australian man to transform himself into one of the world's most notorious dictators, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. Here the Australian-Chinese man Howard, 34, who does not disclose his last name, poses after having a haircut and make-up applied to turn himself into a North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un lookalike at a hair salon in Hong Kong.

Howard appears as a North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un lookalike on the waterfront at Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui shopping district. At 34, Howard is older and taller than 30-year-old Kim, but they share many facial similarities. Howard has bushier eyebrows and weighs less, but he joked that he would work on that.
Howard, the Kim Jong-Un impersonator, walks in downtown Hong Kong. Howard, who charges HK$5000 for party appearances, said being a Kim doppelganger can be a funny experience but he also hopes to stir up dialogue about North Korea and its human rights issues.
