A professional Michael Jackson impersonator has proven so convincing that people have called on him to get a DNA test.
Sergio Cortes from Barcelona, Spain has a career that pays tribute to the King of Pop, who passed away in 2009.
Cortes looks exactly like the late singer and also sounds like him! He was so good that many people are convinced he is the real Michael Jackson.
He recently released a video on Instagram to tell his more than 120,000 followers about his tour in Thailand.
“Hello to all Michael Jackson fans, come and watch me perform at Hollywood Pattaya on December 23rd, said Cortes as Michael Jackson’s ‘Thirller’ plays in the background.
“I love you guys and see you there. I am Sergio Cortes, see you soon.”
But fans are not talking about the tour as they were busy proposing conspiracy theories that the impersonator was actually the real Jacko!
“I need a DNA test, I’m sorry,” one Instagram user commented.
“Oh my god, you’re not Sergio Cortès, you’re Michael Jackson. Someone get his DNA,” another wrote.
“You can’t tell me this ain’t the real Michael Jackson,” a third added.
Cortes is not the only King of Pop impersonator out there. Robinson Parsons from UK has also been working as a full-time impersonator for over a decade and he performs around 150 shows a year.
But he said that he would burn all of his costumes ‘if there was any piece of evidence that the late singer was a pedophile after the allegations made in documentary Leaving Neverland.
“It’s not a huge apocalyptic effect, as some people might have expected. A big reason is that we’ve lived in a world in recent years where fake news has had such a major impact on our lives and what we perceive, and I think people are starting to get a little more wise to it,” said Parsons.
“I don’t want to portray people coming out as child abuse victims as something we should just turn our noses up at – it is a very, very serious allegation. But for that reason, surely then we should look at all the facts and the evidence that surrounds the allegations before we make up our minds.”
When asked if he thought Leaving Neverland was fake news, he answered: “A bit. In all honesty, I think the key thing it’s doing is using the #MeToo movement as a kind of springboard to help get it aired, to make it feel genuine.
“We’re currently in a world where a very important movement has uncovered so many disgusting things that have happened, but it has now got to a stage where it’s as though we should just believe what everybody says without checking the facts.”
