Much of the job relies on you resembling the celeb you are pretending to be, almost like a doppelgänger.
Most celebrity lookalikes might look similar to their inspirations, but you can usually still tell the difference between real and fake.

While most impersonators use their "talents" to make a living, occasionally, they might use their powers for evil.
Most recently, a Justin Bieber impersonator embarrassed a major nightclub in Las Vegas.
WATCH: Viewers shocked by new horror movie trailer
Over the weekend, one of the world's most successful DJs, DJ Gryffin, performed at the XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas.
The DJ was on stage when "Justin Bieber" and his "advance team" arrived, convincing everyone in the club that he was the real pop singer.

He managed to get into the DJ booth and eventually onto the stage. DJ Gryffin was so convinced it was the real singer that he even took a picture and shared the moment on Instagram.
The Justin Faker performed 10 songs before the staff realised they had been bamboozled.
Gryffin later admitted that the club went wild and was just as shocked as everyone else when the truth came out.

XS Nightclub also later confirmed that the incident did occur, as the man and his crew staged an elaborate, multi-step ruse.
When the truth was revealed, the impersonator was removed from the resort, banned from all Wynn properties, and denied future access.
Some reports claim he left a $10,000 (R177,000 bar tab) behind.
