Talk about your mistaken identities.
A Justin Bieber impersonator apparently tricked staff at a Las Vegas night club that he was the real deal, even getting up on stage to perform and leaving behind a whopping bar bill.
In a video posted to Instagram, DJ Gryffin was performing at XS Nightclub Wynn Las Vegas on Aug. 16 when he was told that the “Baby” singer was in town and wanted to perform a song.
“His ‘team’ said he wanted to perform ‘Sorry,’” Gryffin wrote in the video. “Little did I know I was about to be sorry.”
The video then shows the lookalike in a hoodie singing as the enthusiastic crowd shouts along.
After it’s over, the video shows Gryffin being pulled aside to be told the bad news.
“After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage,” a statement from The Wynn said, according to NBC News. “As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.”
Neon reported that the fake Beiber accumulated a bar tab of almost $10,000 before he was removed from the premises.
The impersonator was later identified as a Frenchman named Dylan Desclos. His manager, Julien Colas, said in a written statement to USA Today, said that someone had asked Desclos if he wanted to perform.
“We did many performance as impersonator,” Colas said. “What have we to won by saying we are the real one? That’s not our way to work. Cause, yes, it’s a job. We don’t want to hurt anyone.”
