Haven’t we seen ‘Trump’ and ‘Kim’ before? Winter Olympics gatecrashers have Hong Kong Sevens fans seeing double

A pair of Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un lookalikes were the talk of the town at the Pyeongchang Winter Oympics on Friday, but eagle-eyed Hong Kong rugby fans will have spotted them somewhere before.

It was at the 2017 Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens that “Trump” and “Kim” first shot to fame.

The Hong Kong-born Australian known only by his stage name “Howard X” and American Dennis Alan certainly caused a stir by trying to sneak into the Olympic Stadium’s media area at the opening ceremony in South Korea.

“People told us it was really funny,” said Howard, who impersonated North Korea leader Kim at the OIympic Stadium.

Alan, a musician from Chicago, joined in for the stunt dressed up as the US president – red cap and all – before they were escorted to the regular seating area by security guards, who made sure to snap a few selfies with them.
