Security guards wanted selfies, say ‘Trump’ and ‘Kim’ as impersonators shed light on Winter Olympics stunt
Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un lookalikes who caused stir at Pyeongchang opening ceremony claim security escorted them out of media section to regular seating area
The feuding ‘world leaders’ sparked excitement when they infiltrated the press area before being tackled by security.
But the Kim impersonator, who goes by the stage name of Howard X, insisted they had not been ejected from the stadium, merely escorted back to their correct seats.
“We tried to sneak into the media section so we could wave to the athletes,” he said on Saturday.
“They didn’t kick us out, we had tickets. A bunch of journalists were chasing us so security took us outside so we could get to our seats,” the fake Kim added.
“They were very professional and just doing their jobs. They even provided us with an entourage, so we looked like the real thing and it caused even more of a commotion.”
