San Diego, Ca. — He looks, well, exactly like Tom Cruise and when he pulled up to the 2019 Comic-Con in San Diego in a red Ferrari in and Ray-Bans, he sent the crowd into a frenzy.
The prank was timed perfectly as fans believed the Cruise doppelganger was at the event to promote the sequel to the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun.
"For 34 years you guys have been very patient with me and I felt it was my responsibility for me to deliver for you," the faux Cruise told the shocked audience after he walked out on stage and was introduced by Conan O'brien.
Cruise went on to introduce the trailer to the new movie.

Fans went crazy over Jerome LeBlanc, a man who admittedly looks so much like Tom Cruise even the best could be fooled.
