A MAN Often confused for Jack Grealish, the football player hired a body double while he was too busy.
The 26-year-old football player from England, Liam Wilson, was requested to assist with filming segments of an advertisement.

The singer and the fitness instructor from Norwich, Norfolk, “got on well,” according to the fitness instructor who seized the chance to meet the star on set.
He says he filmed with the Manchester City player for a commercial for Bose.
Furthermore, it’s unclear from watching the commercial who the real Jack is.
Currently residing in Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Residence, Liam stated: “I was essentially utilized as Jack’s body double.
“Due of his hectic schedule, I would take over and complete anything he was unable to finish. It was absurd.”
Liam initially began to draw comparisons to Grealish during England’s Euro 2020 campaign.
He continues to receive a constant stream of requests for pictures, and he even says that waiters at restaurants treat him better when they think he’s a football player.
Liam stated: “I’ve always had hair that resembles Jack’s hair. I really like it.
“When I pretend to be him, people at restaurants seem to treat me more kindly.
I never made an effort to resemble him.
“If I can put a smile on someone’s face then that’s great.”

He regularly gets stopped and asked for photos
Liam was unable to decline the invitation to fill in for Grealish during the Bose shoot.
According to him, they were searching for a backup actor to play Jack in case the actor could not make it to the filming.
“Footballers have busy schedules.”
In August 2023, the two spent a day filming in Manchester.
“You get a glimpse into how footballers are cared for,” Liam stated. Many folks were strolling around.
“I was wearing the same clothes. It was quite humorous. I had actually shown up running into him.”
If Jack happens to be in Dubai at any point, Liam has invited him out for a drink and stated they get along well.
“I asked if he had seen me, and he had,” the man stated. He is a decently modest man. We got along great.
“I told Jack that this was a little silly, but he advised me to go ahead and do it if I might get a little money from it.
“He was encouraging.”

Even Liam admits that he and Jack are the same after the commercial airs, saying, “You can’t tell the difference.”
In Dubai, Liam continues to receive requests for photos, though he doesn’t always see the similarities.
“I don’t see the resemblance myself really, but I can see the similarities in some photos and angles,” he remarked.
“Everyone asks me for pictures, and I just think it’s hilarious, so I go along with it.
I don’t boast about it, though. It’s simply one of those situations.”
