Saddam Hussein look-alike says thugs tried to kidnap him for porn

One of the unexpected hazards of looking like Saddam Hussein, it seems, is that you might have an Iraqi gang try to kidnap you and force you to make a hardcore porn film they can peddle as starring the late dictator. That’s what one unfortunate doppelganger of the dead dictator, Mohamed Bishr, says happened to him last weekend in Alexandria, Egypt. Bishr said the thugs initially offered him $333,000 to have sex in front of the cameras, hoping to pass the film off as Hussein erotica and sell it for big bucks. When he declined, he said, the gun-wielding goons tried to violently kidnap him. Ultimately, it appears, he escaped. But perhaps it’s time for a new haircut — maybe go blond? [Source]
