London (ANI): Elvis Presley may have been all in for 30 years, merely the 'King of Rock n Roll' has shook up a man so much that he has spent club months touring the earth dressed as the legendary popstar.
Donning Presley's trademark white jumpsuit, wig and shades, Matt Hale has attracted crowds at the world's major tourist musca volitans. "I opinion this would honour the King. It seems to have worked as I've attracted gobs of attention," the Mirror quoted him, as sating.
This 38-year-old radio producer has not only partied at Rio carnival, simply posed succeeding to the giant head statues on Easter Island and as well trekked to the lost city of Machu Picchu in Peru. In fact, he went on to participate in an Elvis festival in Australia, but stood last in both the lookalike and soundalike contests.

Jessica Alba's baby name praised by experts
Jessica Alba has named her newborn baby girl 'Honor', and the name has been praised by an expert.
The star's brother, Josh Alba, revealed the baby's new name to E! News, and confirmed that Jessica gave birth naturally.
He said his new niece - who was born on Saturday - is "gorgeous", and the family couldn’t be happier with her arrival.
"She is gorgeous," he said. "She looks just like my sister. Jessica did everything natural... It went really well. We are all just ecstatic. She definitely looks like an Alba to me."
Jessica's father Mark - who flew to California from Florida so he wouldn’t miss the birth - also gushed about his new granddaughter and says Honor is the spitting image of her famous mother.
He said: "She's got Jessica's complexion, her hair, her eyes. She looks like Jessica when she was a baby. I thought Jessica was the prettiest baby I had ever seen, but I was wrong.
"The fact that this little girl came out of my daughter's stomach, it blows my mind."
Jessica and husband Cash Warren’s choice of name for their daughter has been praised by a baby naming expert.
Pamela Redmond Satran, co-author of baby-naming guides Cool Names and The Baby Name Bible, said: "Honor is one of the Puritan Virtue names that has been making a comeback along with sisters Hope, Faith and Charity.
"My guess is that Jessica Alba, going through life as one of several trendily-named 'Jessicas' in any room, was looking for a name that was both classic and unusual, and she made an excellent choice."

Two more candidates for Kelly jury emerge
No new jurors were selected in the R. Kelly case Wednesday, leaving the count at eight—four white and four black.
Candidate after candidate came in with reasons why they could not serve on the high-profile trial. Explanations included saying they would be unable to give Kelly a fair trial because they have teenage daughters or have pressing duties at work.
Two men appear likely to make the panel, however: a recent college graduate and a man vaguely familiar with the singer's career. Both avoided grillings from prosecutors and defense attorneys with middle-of-the-road answers to questions about the justice system and their personal feelings about Kelly. Both are white.
The recent college graduate has previous convictions for marijuana possession and underage drinking, according to pool reports. He said he was too young to remember the O.J. Simpson trial, but he paid attention to other celebrity cases such as NFL star Michael Vick's dogfighting trial.
The other possible juror said he knew a little about Kelly, who has pleaded not guilty to child pornography charges stemming from a sexually explicit videotape authorities say he made with a girl as young as 14. The man said he saw a censored portion of the video on television, but he could be a fair juror.
Among those dismissed Wednesday were a man who considered Kelly a pedophile and a woman who described the Grammy winner as "not very smart."
Kelly, who rarely appears to pay attention to the questioning, looked up and cast a wounded glance toward the woman. It's the most emotion he has shown since jury selection began.
"Anyone who would become accused or be in that position of doing that supposedly with a child isn't very smart," she said. "He needs help."
