A 21-year-old Florida man rose to fame on TikTok after he decided to dress up as his 41-year-old mother to see if he could pass as her using her ID.
The original video that Monique Meza posted to TikTok shows her son, Jiovanni Herrera, wearing a wig, a maroon hoodie, her Coach bag and earrings while wearing a full face of makeup.
Herrera decided to strut his stuff in the video and tried to go shopping and look like his mother, which Meza said was a big success.
She captioned the video: “My son is checking to see if he can pass as me and use my ID. The answer is: he can.’

The mother of four boys told the story TODAY.com that she and Jiovanni have the “same face” and nearly identical noses.
“Jiovanni said the clerk wasn’t even looking!”
The receptionist wasn’t the only one who couldn’t tell the difference. Many viewers were shocked by how similar the mother-son looked.
One viewer wrote: ‘I was waiting for your son to come on screen first,’ while another wrote: ‘OMG he could be your twin.’
Herrera bought another wig and dressed in the same style as Meza to visit a steakhouse with Meza’s friend in Orlando
Some even suggested they needed a whole series of Herrera impersonating his mother and others said they wanted to see if Herrera could unlock his mother’s phone via Face ID.
Many complimented his gait and the way he carried the bag. One user wrote: ‘The way he walks!’ while another said: ‘the bag strap got me.’
The original video has almost 3 million likes on TikTok and its success prompted the mother-son duo to take their act to the next level.
Herrera bought another wig and dressed in the same style as Meza to visit a steakhouse with Meza’s friend in Orlando.
Meza is seen ordering a sangria and telling the waiter she had to run to her car to get her ID. Herrera then returns as her in full disguise and takes his mother’s place at the table to continue the order.
The waiter seemed a bit confused and started laughing nervously, but served the sangria and took orders as Meza’s friend and he continued with the bit of calling each other “cutie” and trying to act normal.
After a while, Meza reappears, which clearly reassures the confused waiter, who seemed relieved to see mother and boy sitting next to each other.
