(Fox News) - The election of Barack Obama has turned an Indonesian photographer into a celebrity. But Ilham Anas is not famous for the photos he has taken of the president-elect.

His celebrity comes because he bears an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Obama. Many Indonesians have taken a keen interest in the president-elect because he lived there when he was a child. Anas says when Mr. Obama won the election his friends, "made me wear a suit, a tie, and took pictures of me posing as Obama. The pictures spread on the Internet. It was phenomenal."

That led a number of TV stations and advertising companies to contact him. And now he plays the president-elect in a new pharmaceuticals commercial in the Philippines.
