A man from Oxford who works as a Brad Pitt impersonator has revealed why he’s unable to find a girlfriend.
Nathan Meads, 35, hit the headlines last year after revealing he had to delete his dating apps because women obsessed with the Hollywood star were stalking him. He revealed he is often mistaken by starstruck strangers and said he has since been approached thousands of times.
Despite removing his profile on the apps, hundreds of women still message him on social media hoping for a date. But it seems the groundworker’s resemblance to Brad Pitt isn’t the only thing standing in his way of love.
The single dad from Oxford is now claiming that he can’t find a girlfriend because women are jealous of his daughters. Since starting dating again, he claims that the few women he has gone out with are bitter about the time he spends with his two daughters.
Nathan explains: “At first they are fine with me spending my weekend with them but then it slowly starts to become a problem. I’m not one of those guys who sleeps around. I’m really not into one-night-stands.”
“I have two girls and you have to respect women. Personality to me is key and if they (his dates) are family-orientated. What I find is they are fine with me at first but then when they want to go away at the weekend to spend more time together, I tell them I can’t,” he added.
Nathan said he saves the weekends to spend with his daughters, so date nights are strictly kept to weeknights. He said: “During the week I can go on dates but the weekend is for my girls. It’s just not fair to carry it on with someone if I can’t give them what they want.”
The dad-of-two who started working as a part-time impersonator in 2018, having been told he was a Brit doppelgänger for the Oscar winner, takes his duties as a dad very seriously.
Nathan explained: “I split up from their mom about three and a half years ago, so it’s the only time I get with them.”
“I wake up every Saturday to go over and get them and bring them back on the Sunday evening. I have to take it with both hands as there’s going to be a time when they want to hang out with their friends and won’t have time for their dad,” he added.
Nathan can earn anywhere from $340 to $680 for his lookalike work, which is far more than he makes in his day job.
However, last year, Nathan said that he doesn’t want to settle down as his daughters are his priority. But until he finds someone special Nathan says he is happy to simply spend time with his two young girls.
He said: “I’m not really looking for love anyway and don’t want to settle down as my daughters are my world and my biggest priority. I’m not looking for my Angelina.”
