Hailey Bieber had a funny reaction to seeing a lookalike of her husband, Justin Bieber.
A French TikTok star, Theo Saussard, shared the video of the doppelgänger in Paris, France, on September 24. In the footage, the man can be seen standing inside a metro train car, wearing black sunglasses and a large tan hat.
Saussard mimicked Justin's casual style, as he wore a grey sweater over a white shirt, light-coloured jeans and white sneakers. He then zoomed in and got a closer look at the train passenger, who had a wispy mustache and tattoos on his neck, just like Justin.
“WTF, freaking Justin Bieber,” Sassard wrote in the caption. “Just another Tuesday during fashion week.”
The TikTok user continued to joke about the interaction in the caption, writing: “So, did I just meet Justin Bieber on the French metro?”
Justin's wife Hailey responded to the images, writing in the comments: “I'm scared.”
Saussard responded excitedly to the model: “THIS IS LEGENDARY.”
Fans discovered in the comments that the video did not feature the “Baby” singer, but a man named Dylan Declos, a well-known Justin Bieber impersonator. On his Instagram, Declos has several videos of himself lip-syncing to the singer's hit songs. He also poses in jean jackets, baggy pants, sports shirts or a yellow beanie, all to match Bieber's style.
Hailey's discovery of her husband's doppelganger comes a month after the couple welcomed their first baby together. The “Peaches” singer first took to Instagram on Aug. 23 to post a photo of her baby's foot, while revealing her son's name in the caption.
“Welcome home Jack Blues Bieber,” Justin wrote.
The couple chose their son's moniker to honor a long-standing family tradition of keeping the initials, “JB.” The 30-year-old's father, Jeremy Bieber, follows the custom, as does his half-sister Jazmyn, 16, and half-brother Jaxon, 14. Justin also decided to pay tribute to his father by giving his son the first name Jack, which is Justin's father's middle name.
Last week, the 27-year-old took to her Instagram Story to share a new mirror selfie for the first time since giving birth. Hailey recently revealed that while she shared her pregnancy news back in May, she was actually six months pregnant at the time.
“I was actually able to keep it a secret because I stayed small for so long. I didn’t actually have a belly until I was six months pregnant, which was when I announced it. I was able to wear big jackets and stuff,” she said during a July interview with W Magazine.
“I probably could have kept it to the very end, but I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to outwardly enjoy my pregnancy. I felt like I was hiding a big secret and it didn’t feel right. I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.”
