An Oscar winning selfie: 'Barack Obama and Kim Jong-un' banned from Hollywood bash
Selfie-obsessed: Professional lookalikes of President Obama and Korean leader Kim Jong-un takes selfies while they hang out together

This is one celebrity selfie that no-one expected to see at this year's Oscar's - President Obama posing with Kim Jong-un.

After Ellen Degeneres almost broke the inteet last year with her selfie with the stars, many people wondered what would be the most talked about photo this year.

It is safe to say that no-one could have bet on these two leaders topping that poll, but all is not as it seems as the two men are professional lookalikes.

Obama lookalike Reggie Brown, 34, met Kim Jong-un impersonator Howard, 36, outside the Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles.

The impersonators were trying to use their famous faces to sneak into the Academy Awards - but took some time to pose for the tourists' cameras.

But despite being dead ringers for the political titans, the pair were unsuccessful at getting into the glitzy bash.
