Namesakes of the stars: Why Clint Eastwood works as an electrician in New Zealand

Categories: Photo project

New Zealand photographer Troy Goodall decided to dedicate his photo project to ordinary people who are the full namesakes of the stars. He called his series "Almost Famous" and collected portraits of ordinary people who pose in epic poses in the images of their famous namesakes.

"Each of the project participants can tell their incredible story," says Goodall, "and about how administrators hang up when you try to book a table in a restaurant, and about fans of stars who gather near a hotel room in search of their idol. Being the namesake of a celebrity is not easy!"

The series was created in collaboration with a well—known New Zealand brand and gathered a whole galaxy of pseudo-stars - from electrician Clint Eastwood to pizza delivery girl Julia Roberts.
