It takes a lot to surprise Post Malone. But the typically taciturn “I Had Some Help” singer looked genuinely surprised last weekend when he bumped into a rather tough doppelgänger backstage at the Governors Ball festival in New York. In a video published by Consequence of SoundPosty is seen making his way backstage after his headlining set when he meets his new figure heading to Madame Tussauds wax museum in Las Vegas.
Initially thinking it was just another hipster hanging around backstage, Malone walked right past the start, saying “I'm so lost right now,” before turning around and realizing he was looking at a wax mirror. “Are you kidding me;” she says with a shocked look as she walks away. To be fair, Paraffin Post bears an uncanny resemblance, right down to the signature face tattoos, gold teeth, big smile and beer keg on hand.
“I literally thought it was a person,” Post says as he smiles at the devil-horn sign-tossing double. “Is this real hair?” he asks. “What hair is that? Mine? Were you all in my shower?' Malone says he's “blown away” by the level of detail, right down to his diamond-encrusted grill, thanking the Tissot folks for their “help down there… I appreciate it.”
He then marvels at how they captured his many tattoos perfectly, asking how the detailing is done and wondering if his new busty friend could do his shows for him. “I'd love to catch up on sleep,” says the rapper/singer who famously has the catchphrase “Always Tired” under his eyes. The clip ends with Post putting his arm around the figure, then unhooking it for good measure.
Malone is currently riding high with a No. 1 hit with Morgan Wallen (“I Had Some Help”) and his Gov Ball toured his many hits including “Congratulations,” “Wow,” “Circles ” and “Better Now,” among others.
