Snoop Dogg Shares Hilarious Video Of Lookalike Taking Photos With Excited Flight Attendant

If you were mistaken for a celebrity by an overjoyed fan who wants a photo with you, would you admit your true identity or not ruin their starstruck moment?

A Snoop Dogg lookalike chose the latter and kept the charade going for a Southwest Air flight attendant who was convinced he was the "Snoop's Upside Ya Head" rapper.

When a video of the interaction went viral, it eventually caught the attention of the real Snoop Dogg, who found the mix-up very amusing.

Last Thursday, he shared the clip on Instagram and captioned it with laughing and shrugging emojis.

The flight attendant, who was identified as Chrissy Lofton, posted the photo of her beaming while holding onto a man she thought was her music idol.

She wrote:

"I had Snoop Dogg on my flight into Fort Lauderdale today. He is the sweetest."

The clip, originally shared by @raphousetv, was juxtaposed with Lofton's photo and was titled:

"This flight attendant thought she met Snoop Dogg on her flight."

The text overlay on the original clip read in part:

"Maaannnn these ppl taking pics with my cuzin because they said he look like Snoop Dogg."

The poser, who does have a passing resemblance to the rapper, indulged another fan, this time a passenger, in posing for snaps.

Fans couldn't blame Lofton and the others on board for believing they were really going places with Snoop Dogg.

Even Southwest Air responded with a double take after realizing the passenger was not the American Music Award and Primetime Emmy-winning artist who's besties with lifestyle guru Martha Stewart.

Viewers gave the mischievous imposter props for playing the part convincingly.

The "Who Am I?" rapper was encouraged to make Lofton's dream come true.

The bamboozled flight attendant eventually got her reality check and responded to Snoop Dogg's post apologizing for the "very embarrassing" mistake.

"I was so excited to take a picture with you @snoopdogg !" wrote Lofton, adding:

"Sorry it wasn’t you and I hope you aren’t offended. My very embarrassing mistake meant no harm and I can’t believe it’s blown up like this. Much Luv!!

Celebrities often look different in person when they're not in front of cameras.

They could be without makeup and styled differently than when they appear at official events.

So who could blame Lofton for assuming at a glance that they were face-to-face with someone who resembled the popular Rapper?

People defended Lofton.

Fingers crossed that, one day, Lofton will have a photo do-over with the real Snoop Dogg.
