You’d think having a face that resembles George Clooney would be a good thing – a very, very good thing. Not so says Abdullah Simshek, a restaurant owner in the U.K. who kind of looks like the famous actor. According to Simshek, his similarity to Clooney has cost him his marriage of 14 years.
The 43-year-old Simsek, known as Apo, recently returned to the singles scene after he decided to dump his wife and head off to Hollywood to try his luck as a George Clooney look-alike. Simsek has had the nickname ‘George’ for years but claimed to have never known why. He found out when he eventually asked a friend, who brought him a photograph of the actor.
Simsek, however, doesn’t seek fame or fortune. He just wants to hook up with model Lisa Snowdon who dated George Clooney over a number of years and who happens to fill out a bra nicely.
Given Simsek’s resemblance to Clooney, he thinks he’s got a good shot at Snowdown. Yeah, good luck with that.

He’s a real guy. It’s debatable as to how much he really looks like George Clooney, but he certainly seems to think so.
