I thought I was seeing Barack Obama starring in TV commercial for an abdominal pain drug but I was wrong! It was in fact the 34-year old Indonesian Ilham Anas, acting as US President Obama alongside Philippine Prexy Gloria Macapagal Arroyo played by a Filipino comedian named “Ate Glow”.
Striking resemblance:

Ilham Anas, born and raised in Bandung, West Java, gained popularity when his pictures looking like Obama spread over the Internet. Anas recalled that when Obama won, his friends played a practical joke by asking him to dress up like Obama, made him wear suit and tie, took pics of him and sent them to the Internet. An ad agency saw these pics, contacted him and invited him to do a commercial and the rest as they say is history.
Watch here the TVC of the drug Motilium showing Anas taken from youtube:
