They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. Oscar Wilde actually said "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness" but people tend to leave the second bit out. However, looking like a celebrity can be quite a lucrative career. Pamela Anderson has a lookalike who has also modeled for Playboy. There's a Taylor Swift lookalike who keeps getting banned from social media because platforms think she is imitating T-Swift.
Then there is Christina Ashten Gourkani. Professionally known as "Ashten G", Gourkani rose to fame as a model and OnlyFans creator. She primarily stole headlines for bearing a striking resemblance to Kim Kardashian. Gourkani was especially famous for her surgically enhanced body, on top of being a spitting image of Kardashian. Boasting her measurements as "43-23-43" (Kim K is reportedly 38-25-41), Gourkani was a successful creator on OnlyFans and had 620,000 followers on Instagram.
