Changed life because of looking exactly like Hillary Clinton

Possessing a similar appearance to Hillary Clinton, 61-year-old Teresa Barnwell, living in Palm Desert, California, became famous when Bill Clinton became the White House owner in 1992.

Since Hillary Clinton began her run for the US presidency in 2016, Teresa's life has turned a new page with countless stunt job offers and a monthly income of up to 10,000 USD.

Teresa Barnwell earned thousands of dollars posing as Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Teresa was invited around the world to take photos, appear in TV commercials, music videos and attend events, meeting famous people such as comedian Jay Leno, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, former US Secretary of State Colin Powell and even Hillary Clinton herself.

The first meeting between Hillary Clinton and her doppelganger took place at a book signing in Los Angeles in 1996.

Due to the international nature of her work and Hillary's high-ranking political position, the two always avoid appearing at the same time.

“There were times when I felt like Hillary was following me, and wherever I went she would appear right after me. It was a little difficult for me because Hillary must have felt weird running into someone who looked exactly like her. The only time I saw her was at a book signing. Hillary was very nice and even joked that I could attend all the events she didn’t want to go to,” Teresa said.

While impersonating Hillary Clinton, Teresa always refused job offers that were inappropriate or could damage the Democratic candidate's reputation.

“Sometimes I get weird offers like being a Hillary stripper. I feel bad about it and I say no. I don’t want to damage my image and reputation or Hillary’s. I don’t mind doing comedy or acting like Hillary, but that’s not always possible,” Teresa said.

However, Teresa's life was not always happy. Because she resembled the famous politician so much, it was difficult for her to have a normal life.

“It’s not hard to be Hillary because we’re like twins. The natural resemblance between Hillary and I is so strong that people on the street confuse me and ask to take pictures with me. I can’t buy something as simple as a banana without people saying this and that as if I were Hillary. At an event, a group of Japanese tourists expressed their honor to meet me because they believed I was Hillary. Then we were swept into a crowd of people wanting autographs, bracelets, clothes, everything of mine, and security had to help us leave,” Teresa recalled.
