Manchester man looks just like Will.i.Am: 'People ask me for photos all the time'

37-year-old Lewis Bojang from Bury, Greater Manchester has revealed that he's constantly getting mistaken for 'Boom Boom Pow' hitmaker Will.i.Am.

Speaking to Britain's The Sun newspaper about his appearance, Bojang explained that it was his wife (pictured below)

who initially alerted him to the similarity as they watched 'The Voice' together one evening and he admitted that he often gets noticed in public:

"I am always getting noticed, and in the street I can often hear people saying I look like Will.i.am. People in shops, restaurants clubs and bars have asked me to have a picture taken with them.”

His wife, Karen, added: "I looked at Will.i.am on the television and then looked across at Lewis and something suddenly clicked. For about a year now people have commented wherever we go and give Lewis a second look and even the VIP treatment."

"People do double takes or ask if he is related and his friends even call him Will now. We’ve had shop staff scurrying round and holding open doors for us before they realise there are no paparazzi or bodyguards.”
