Shocking That This Carjacker Couldn’t Convince Officers He Was Matthew McConaughey

I’ve never been blessed with a celebrity doppelganger. Occasionally, someone will try to make a comparison but it is always prefaced with the word goofy or less attractive. Like “Dent, you look like a goofier version of Haywire from Prisonbreak.” Goofier? How is that even possible?

But for those who do resemble somebody of note, there can be some distinct advantages. Can you imagine smashing some girl at the bar because she thought you were Bradley Cooper’s brother? Or breaking people’s necks every time they walk by and do a double-take? Or better yet, getting to troll all of North Korea because you look like Kim Jong Un.

Some people, however, have little self-awareness when it comes to their own looks. For example, this thief in Pennsylvania who was under the impression that he could pass for McConaughey.

From Action News 4:

GEORGES TWP., Pa. —
Police responded to a call about suspicious person who was ringing a doorbell and walking around a residence in Georges Township, Fayette County on Saturday.

When they arrived, police discovered the man, later identified as 46-year-old Troy Miller, inside of the resident’s vehicle and took him into custody.

Miller refused to provide his identification information, and continued to identify himself as Matthew McConaughey, according to the police report.

Miller was charged with attempted theft of a motor vehicle, false identification to law enforcement authorities and loitering and prowling at night.

Clearly, this guy isn’t seeing what we all are when he looks in the mirror. Homeboy wakes up thinking he can pass as the star of such cinematic masterpieces like Fool’s Gold and Ghost of Girlfriends Past

I wonder if the car this guy attempted to steal was a Lincoln? If not, it’s pretty obvious why this was an open and shut case..
