Paul Weller lookalike satisfied Indian restaurant employees and clients he was actual Modfather
A cheeky Paul Weller lookalike convinced staff and customers at a top Indian restaurant that he was the Modfather himself.
The daring doppelganger posed for pictures after telling workers at Khans Restaurant in Wolverhampton that he was indeed the rocker.
His plucky plan was even more convincing because the mega star was performing that night in the city.

The ballsy fella only did it for a joke and did not try to nab himself a free curry from the fine dining venue.

Staff fell for the prank and later shared a snap of the random bloke who had an identical haircut to the musician, eating and enjoying a Cobra beer.
Khans posted on their Facebook page: “The legend Paul Weller here dining tonight just before performing at the halls. Such an amazing gentleman. Thank you #paulweller for choosing us for your dining experience.”
One fan joked: “He’s a Changingman!” while another said: “You do Something to Ghee!”
Another called him ‘The Oddfather” as one more quipped: “Chaats entertainment”.
A waitress said: “We’ve all had a good laugh about it. To be honest I had no idea who Paul Weller was.”
It appears that the other members of Paul Weller’s band were dining at one table in the Michelin-rated eaterie.
The impersonator spoke to them before apparently appointing himself as their impromptu frontman.
The waitress added: “A family said to me, you’ve got some very famous people in here today, that’s Paul Weller’s entire band sitting there.
“The guy who said he was Paul Weller wasn’t on their table but he did speak to them. Everyone had been telling me about Paul Weller that day but I had no idea who he was.
“I didn’t even bother googling him.”
Khan’s often welcomes famous faces before they play in the city’s gig venues.
Specsavers also joined those poking fun at the mishap, writing: “Posted without comment.”
