Celebrity Lookalike Work


How to earn money if you look like a film star or a TV celebrity. Information and advice to work as a celebrity lookalike, fees, expenses and agencies:

If you have the good fortune (or the bad luck!) to look like a film star, TV celebrity or member of a pop band or a singer then why not use your looks to earn some money. Everyone loves a celebrity and there are situations where people will pay you because you look like their favourite celebrity. You could choose to be your own agent and secure your own work, or stay on the books of an agent and celebrity lookalike agencies. Some of these will be listed and linked to throughout this article.





If you look like Ricky Gervais and can do the David Brent dance from The Office then you are onto a winner. If you can wiggle your pelvis and sound like Elvis Presley then you can get paid to perform. Other celebrity lookalikes get paid to pout like Marilyn Monroe or look beautiful like Jordan (Katie Price) and David Beckham. You could even tote a fake gun and wear a tuxedo like James Bond.

Some celebrity lookalikes get together and form a tribute band. We remember paying for concert tickets to a cliff Richard and the Shadows band. The guitarist looked just like Hank Marvin and played just as well and the singer sung almost as well as Cliff Richard. Together they were a great act and we had a super night out. The act did this as a full time job, touring around the country.

There is even work available to people who can imitate a celebrity voice. This could include radio ads or making recordings of mobile phone ring tones or joke phone calls. Some work may not even need you to talk. These can include celebrity model lookalikes who may for example be promoting a new car in a shopping centre and need to lie on the bonnet looking alluring whilst the salesmen start selling to the admiring blokes.







Celebrity Lookalike Agents and Agencies


There are many celebrity and star lookalike agencies around the country and it would be worth joining more than one agent. There are many on the internet and you can upload your biography and photograph to their website. This gives you the advantage of getting work and recognition nationwide.

An agent will not normally charge for you to be on their books, though some charge a small one off administration fee. Normally you only pay a commission to our agent for any work secured through him or her.

An agent can often get you more work and works behind the scenes securing you more employment and doing the administration jobs whilst you concentrate on the lookalike work and appearances. Such work can include TV and film work, media events, conferences, television or radio adverts, corporate functions, opening new shops, offices or shopping centres, photo shoots, charity appearances, opening village fetes or country shows, award ceremonies, product launches, weddings, bar mitzvahs and private parties.

Rates of pay vary depending on the popularity of the celebrity you look like.

Some agencies and agents can secure you travelling expenses. For example if you are the only Peter Kaye lookalike in the UK and someone in Lancashire or even his hometown of Bolton wants to hire you for a private party and you live in Aberdeen you could secure train fare and overnight accommodation. If not you could claim this as an income tax expense. Other expenses you could claim as a tax expense against earnings could include hair cuts and styling, wigs, make up, clothes and costumes and props. You could also claim against voice or dance classes.

Any income earnt from celebrity lookalike work should be declared to the inland revenue on your annual self assessment form.


Other work you could consider includes:
Acting Extra Work
Art Model
Reality Television
