| George Clooney look-alike |
A man offered his wife an indecent birthday present.
The successful George Clooney look-alike said that a married man offered him 5,000 pounds or about $7,500 in exchange for sleeping with his wife as her 40th birthday present.
He turned down the offer because it just felt so wrong.
Gary Tate, 56, also has a cleaning business named Clooney’s cleaning, despite appearing in countless red carpet events during the past 16 years.
"I've been doing this since 1997. George was becoming famous as he had a role in the TV show ER, and that's when people started to comment on my resemblance to him," Tate said.
In 1998, a local newspaper did one of those do you know someone who looks like George competitions. Out of thousands of photos that were sent in, I won. My life as a lookalike started then, Tate said.
Tate, who lives in Ashford, Kent, United Kingdom, was surprised by the man, who asked him to sleep with his wife in return for thousands of pounds.
The lookalike was single at the time of the offer, but ultimately, he rejected it.
"When I asked him why he wanted me to do that, he said: ‘we have an open relationship, and Clooney is crazy, so I am asking you,’” Tate said.
“He kept raising his offer, but I turned him down,” Tate added.
