VIDEO: Meet Michael Phelps' Look-alike!
Friday August 22, 2008
Meet Michael Phelps' look-alike. He's 31-year-old British broadcaster Steve Parry. He has the same build, haircut and protruding ears as Phelps — and he was recently mistaken for the historic Olympian. Relive Michael Phelps' greatest Olympic moments. While reporting a story (ironically, on Phelps!) in China's Tiananmen Square, he was mobbed by more than 100 fans earlier this week. "It was unbelievable," he said on the Today show. "I can’t imagine how [Phelps] would feel if he went down there.” He said the mix-up “was surely embarrassing, going out there and having people think I was Phelps. I felt like a big fraud.” In a funny twist, Parry is a former swimmer himself. At the 2004 Athens games, he won a bronze medal (Phelps won the gold in the same race). Parry joked, "Yeah, I got a good shot of his feet." Check out the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, for the complete story of Phelps' long journey from a broken home to Olympic icon — plus more from Us' exclusive interview with his mom.

Sorry to be mean but let's not go around saying Phelps is so kind of Don Juan. Guy has a mouth full of some pretty jacked up teeth.

I can't believe all the stupid comments from nutrionalist about Michael choosing to be on the Frosted Flakes box. He eats frosted flakes, he has said it was his favorate cereal so why on earth would he endorse Wheaties, he has never ate Wheaties in his life. Actually, who does anymore. It is ok to eat this cereal as long as the kids go out an excercise, that is the parents responsibility not Michael's to make sure they don't just sit around and gain weight.

Michael's appeal is universal, he just isn't a swimmer who made Olympics history, he is a real person who works hard and is just a sweet man who knows that it took the hard work of a lot of people to help him with his success. He is just a pleasure to watch on TV and interviews. His mother is wonderful and she should be a inspiraton to any mother who believes that they were dealt a bad hand and who believe that their is no hope.

Michael is sexy in everyway that matters, he is a true athlete, he is an inspration to anyone who has ever been bullied. He gives hope to many kids who believe that since they have ADHD they will never be successful. He has put a new face on this disability. He has captured our hearts just like he captured his gold medals.

I think Michael is an average looking man, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I don't need some fine @ss man that's in the mirror more than me.

10:02 AM Anonymous01 Says: Be honest. Since the Michael Phelps look a like is a technical "nobody", no one would really think that he's cute. Only reason people think Michael Phelps is cute is b/c he's won 8 Olympic medals. If he hadn't... no one would give this guy a second glance. Au contraire! I think his work ethic, physique, athleticism, humility and success all make Phelps VERY attractive!

I am sure with a body like his, he had no trouble getting girls even before he made Olympic history.

Personally I don't think they look anything alike AT ALL!!! Thats really stretching it. Michael Phelps isn't the best looking guy but that reporter is plain ugly. I think I'm starting to see the big difference between magazines like this and People. Us Magazine you really need to step your stories up!!!
