The Man Who Blew Us Away With His Impressions Is a FAKE

An 'impersonator' who became an internet sensation after releasing a music video of him embodying 28 celebrities in just one take has declared himself a fraud.

Rob Cantor from Los Angeles, California, posted a video to YouTube on July 1 for his track Perfect, seemingly performing faultless impressions of stars including Shakira and Frank Sinatra.

But now the singer-songwriter has revealed that the clip - watching more than 7.2 million times - was in fact an elaborate stunt and he 'cannot do a single celebrity impression.'
