‘Moreover, many Chinese people laughed when I made fun of #XiJinPing by hitting #WinnieThePooh!’

But the pair’s mischief caused some problems during the Games.

‘Although everyone found us entertaining, this one security guard did not. We were not allowed to watch the rest of the match and six security guards ‘escorted’ us outside.’
This isn’t the first time Howard X has been ejected for causing chaos in his Kim Jong Un outfit.
He was deported from Vietnam just before a summit between the real North Korean leader and US President Trump in 2018.
Howard X had arrived in the city with Trump impersonator Russell White and staged a mock summit on the steps of the Hanoi Opera House, amid a throng of press and hired security.
The Kim doppelganger was questioned by Hanoi police after the incident and was told he would be put on a plane back to his home in Hong Kong.

The impersonator was told by Vietnamese immigration officials that his visa was “invalid,” but he said he was given no further explanation.
“The real reason is that I was born with a face that looks like Kim Jong-un’s, that’s the real crime,” he told reporters as three plainclothes officers drove him from his hotel to Hanoi airport.
According to the court, White was allowed to remain in the city but was asked to no longer appear in public in costume. The guard.
Trump’s doppelganger was stopped by locals and tourists eager to take selfies with him as he walked through Hanoi.
Howard X said he thought he was being deported because the real Kim “has no sense of humor.”
“Satire is a powerful weapon against any dictatorship. They’re afraid of a few guys who look like the real ones,” Howard X said at the time, dressed in a trademark Mao-style black suit and thick black glasses.
