A Psy impersonator attended events and parties at 2013 Cannes Film Festival
uncaught until the real singer tweeted that he was on the other side of
the globe.

The "Gentleman" singer apparently was amused at the idea that someone
impersonated him and walked around Cannes events freely. He tweeted
again later with a picture of the imposter attached on the post.

Cannes' event organizer and
numerous celebrities were fooled with the impersonator's strikingly
similar look and style with the South Korean rapper. The PSY-wannabe
wore round glasses and fitting suit. He even had three bodyguards with
earpieces and a French manager with him.
In two days, the fake PSY partied with celebrities, showed up on a French radio show and signed a deal to be honored at a gala in Monaco, New York Post reported.

"Skyfall" actress Naomie Harris and actor Adrien Brody
were tricked into believing that he was the real PSY. Harris even
happily shared a photo of her with the impersonator on May 21. "Me and
Psy at the Chopard party in Cannes! Xx," she captioned the picture.
In an interview with French newspaper La Montagne, Carre explained that the act started after he got mobbed by PSY fans in Dublin last September. He later began making appearances in various places and even got paid to impersonate the South Korean sensation. He told the newspaper that he meant no harm with his act. "I know that my success is due to that of someone else. All of this amuses me," he said.
