Dec 15, 2023; Orlando, Florida, USA; Jake Paul is congratulated by Logan Paul after knocking out Andre August in the first round at the Caribe Royale Orlando. Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports Logan Paul has made a real name for himself in the WWE, but the YouTube sensation went back to his roots for a classic troll of BBC News.
Journalist Matt Shea was set to interview Paul in Puerto Rico for BBC’s new documentary, “Logan Paul: Bad Influence?” which claims to have new evidence regarding accusations that Paul promoted shady cryptocurrency projects without disclosing that he had a stake in them, resulting in massive paychecks.
Shea finally got his chance to interview Paul at his gym. At least he thought. Instead, when he arrived, he was met by a well-known imposter, Rodney Petersen, who does look a little bit like Paul.
Petersen sat down for the interview and acted exactly like Paul. It was evident that Shea caught onto the act right away but played along with it for a very quick moment, asking the lookalike what it feels like to be one of the most famous people in the world.
“I have to say, the real Logan Paul looks very different,” Shea interrupted, visibly irritated.
Shea refused to proceed with the interview, as Petersen insisted on keeping the prank going for a little bit longer.
“You came all the way to Puerto Rico from England. This is your interview. What do you got?”
Shea still refused, and as he was about to get up out of his chair, a few “protestors” began repeatedly chanting anti-BBC remarks in reference to Huw Edwards, a former newscaster who was charged with three counts of making indecent images of children. The full clip is quite the watch, and you could tell that Shea was completely mindblown over the stunt.
Shea maintains that this was childish behavior from Paul. And while that might be somewhat true, what in the world did he actually expect?
The title of the documentary literally references exposing Paul, so why on Earth would he ever help him with that or be a part of a hit piece against him?
To maintain his innocence? Paul has already done that publicly several times and has launched programs to try and buy back those NFTs from those who were scammed by failed crypto projects. It remains unclear if Paul will comment further on these allegations, but as Shea was leaving the gym, his team received a letter from lawyers threatening not to publish allegations.
Paul seems pretty convinced that he did nothing wrong in this entire situation. And to troll a major news outlet, he must be pretty confident in his innocence.
This is a classic prank. Hit him with the lookalike Jim Halpert from The Office. There’s nothing to be mad about here. Chalk it up to the game.
