PAUL MCCARTNEY LOOK-ALIKE FOOLS EVEN THE PROS!
Media savvy AOL unable to distinguish between rock star and part-time impersonator.

10/22/01 -- Fort Collins, CO -- When AOL ran a feature on "The Concert for New York" on its local guide to New York City, there was just one problem. The picture accompanying the story, which was supposed to be concert organizer Paul McCartney, was actually Mike Olie, an uncanny look-alike for the former Beatles and Wings star. (TO SEE IMAGE, CLICK: http://featurerelease.com/MikePaul.jpg)

For Mike, who impersonates McCartney under the name of Sir Paul of Livermore, this is not an uncommon occurrence. "I get stopped all the time on the street by people seeking autographs or asking 'Is it really you?'" Mike has also been part of many public engagements, including appearances on Good Morning America and at Bloomingdale's Grand Opening of their "Beatle Shop" in New York.

Strangely enough, Mike's resemblance to the rock superstar is only a recent phenomenon. Says Mike, "I didn't always resemble my idol, Paul McCartney. Most of my adult life I weighed 135 lbs and didn't look like Paul...I gained 40 pounds and 'grew into' the part. Then, an alert group of musicians pointed out the obvious (which was never obvious to me), that I could be Paul's relation."

A resident of the Denver area, Mike is available for work at "Meet and Greet" functions, trade shows, and public speaking engagements. He is also part of a band called the "The Magical Mystery Tourists."

Greeley Tribune

When you look just like him, it’s easy to start ...playing Paul

The five waitresses at the International House of Pancakes couldn’t believe their good fortune.

How could it be that THE Paul McCartney, one of the icons of rock, would visit their regular ol’ chain breakfast restaurant in a shopping center on the edge of Loveland?

He must be there for an interview. Look, there’s the reporter with his notepad. And look, there’s his picture on the table.

The whispers grew into soft conversation, the conversation grew to giggles, and finally, they burst over to his table and blurted out, “Are you Paul McCartney?” READ ENTIRE STORY...

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS

10/24/01 - Denver, CO -- He sounds like the real deal, looks like the real deal but he's not the real Paul McCartney. But Fort Collins resident Mike Olie looks close enough to the real Beatle that he fooled America Online.

On Saturday and Sunday, the Internet provider posted a picture of Olie, a McCartney lookalike, with a story on "The Concert for New York," where McCartney performed to raise money for the East Coast relief effort. [Read Entire Story]
