Video | Kim Jong-un lookalike from Hong Kong falls in love with missile in Russian rave-pop video
The tensions between the US and North Korea are good for business for the Australian impersonator, and he recently starred as a love-struck Kim in Russian group Little Big’s LollyBomb video
This week, he starred in a music video for the Russian rave-pop group Little Big’s LollyBomb. The video centres on Howard as Kim, whose eye is caught at a state dinner one day by a big, shiny, metal, red and green missile sat at a neighbouring table.

A starry-eyed courtship follows, during which the somewhat unconventional couple get tattoos of each other’s names and hit the club. Kim then strips off to make love to the bomb, before watching tearfully as his beloved missile is launched into the stratosphere by his country’s military.
While the repetitive song didn’t particularly appeal to Howard, he was on board with the premise of the video right away.
“Before the shoot, I’d only read a short description of the script, which said I fall in love with a bomb. They were scared of telling me what I had to do, but when they told me I was like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s awesome. No problem, I will f*** the bomb.’
