WHAT DOES HE/SHE LOOK LIKE?
This is a link where you can find some vocabulary (a lot, actually) about physical appearance. It is from a site to learn Spanish but the list is as valid for learners of English:
FALSE APPEARANCES
Who are these people?
They look like celebrities but they are not, they are Sophia Loren's, Robin William's and Prince's look-alikes.
Definition of "look-alike" (Wikipedia): A look-alike is a living person who closely resembles another living person. In popular Western culture, a look-alike is a person who bears a close physical resemblance to a celebrity, politician or member of royalty.
Definition of "impersonator" (Wikipedia): An impersonator is someone who imitates or copies the behavior or actions of another.
While look-alikes base their skills on mere resemblance, impersonators use make-up and other elements (clothes, wigs, etc.) to look like the person they try to copy but remind us of the person mostly because of their behaviour, voice and/or way of acting.
Who does she remind you of?
Watch the video and you will have not doubt about it:
Students sometimes impersonate their teachers or fellow students. Do you know of any cases? Did they get into trouble? Do you like that idea or you find it offensive?
