Watch the Packers' Aaron Rodgers hilariously meet his British Doppelganger


Green Bay Packers players had to (discount) double check that they were pulling down passes from their actual quarterback when British comedian Tom Wrigglesworth traveled to Wisconsin.
Football fans first noticed the likeness between Wrigglesworth and Aaron Rodgers earlier this year, so the comedian teamed up with NFL Films to document his quest to meet his Doppelganger. The big reveal comes a little after the seven-minute mark, when Wrigglesworth and Rodgers meet face to face (with Rodgers described as a "Tom Wrigglesworth Look-Alike").
But the real fun is in the first few minutes of the video, as the British comedian trundles around Green Bay, confusing children, amusing adults, and picking up advice for how to make the resemblance even more uncanny ("Gain a little weight," is one woman's pronouncement.)

The ruse works right up until Wrigglesworth tries to throw a pass.
"We're definitely not related," Rodgers decides.
