Anthony de la Torre doesn’t mind when people mistake him for pop singer Justin Bieber. The 17-year-old Bowling Green boy finds it amusing — and profitable. For the last two months, he has been impersonating the teen heartthrob at birthday parties for a cool $300 to $600 per one-hour appearance. He dances. He lip-synchs to Bieber songs, poses for pictures, and generally charms the crowd. “Honestly, this isn’t my dream job, but it’s still fun because I do have a blast at the parties I go to pretending to be him,” Anthony said. “It’s just a lot of fun making little kids freak out.” His mother, Esther Garcia-Tio, has seen young girls swoon at her son’s feet and their mothers flirt with him too. The little ones — some just 4 or 5 — ask for his autograph, and he obliges, signing “J.B.” “A lot of people on the cruise were looking at me really funny,” he said. “When I walked by, people would start singing ‘Baby’ or they’d say, ‘Bieber’s on the boat.’ I actually got to be on the cruise TV show, the morning show. They pretended I was Justin Bieber. It was pretty funny.” During a subsequent visit to New York City, he and his mom learned about an audition for Justin Bieber impersonators and figured, why not? Two agencies that book Bieber impersonators get him work, which has taken him to Boston, New York, Kentucky, and Indiana.
Anthony De La Torra. Deep down in my stomach. With every inch of me. I pure, straight, hate you.
But God damn it do I respect you.
I mean listen if there’s one person on this planet earth I wanna be, its Justin Bieber. If there’s
two people on this planet earth I wanna be its Bieber or a Justin Bieber impersonator. What a fucking gig. Grow a stupid hair cut, put on some tight pants, do a little lip synching, let the 9 year old bitches flock, and make 600 bucks an hour. Unreal. I mean as it is I have a pretty bad haircut and I sit around my apartment singing along to all these pop songs. I’m like halfway there and I ain’t makin 6 hundo an hour.
Talk about hitting the lotto. Like this dude has done absolutely nothing other than be born looking like Justin Bieber. Sure he can do those dance moves like Usher but whatever thats not the point. If it wasn’t for Biebs this kid would just be called an ugly lesbian by all his friends and he’d be
practicing his dance moves at home like a loser. Instead Bieber rises to fame and now Anthony De La Torra is knee deep in all the confused 12 year old girl pussy you could ever imagine. Serendipity, folks.
