There’s no greater love than the love for food, and don’t you dare @ me on this! Which is why, when someone comes in between you and your one true love, it can be a bit frustrating. Like every time you try to get a reservation at a restaurant and they tell you they’re booked! And that there is when you have a chance to prove how far would you go for your love of food. And this man here, went all the way! Like literally all the way to the Moroccan PM!
Twitter user @Ihab8knicks shared a video of his father, who pretended to be the Moroccan PM to get a reservation at a restaurant! And believe it or not, it worked like a charm!
Talk about going big or going home!
Like seriously? Not a small government official, not a celebrity, but straight up the PM of a country? You, Sir, deserve a standing ovation!
Not only did they get the best table and service in the house, but the chef personally came to meet the ‘Moroccan PM’ and made his sign a plate!
Yes, really cannot believe it worked! Cheggit!
My dad wanted to make a reservation at a restaurant and they told him that they were completely booked, minutes later he called back claiming to be the prime minister of Morocco….. we got the best table in the place and the chef answer him to sign a plate and take a pic w him😭 pic.twitter.com/Yx2hdlK5Zf

Impressed by how efficiently the man managed to pull this off, Twitter hailed him a legend!

There were a lot of people who had concerns about the ‘serious’ identity theft that had happened here….

But considering there were no legal implications, no harm, and no foul, people definitely needed to chill a little!

And then, there was that one sane question raised…. Did no one at the restaurant think to Google the Moroccan PM to confirm?
Legit, right? Like how were they so sure he was the PM?

Well, the good folk of Twitter surely did! And the results were quite surprising!
He definitely doesn’t look like the current Prime Minister of Morocco!

But after going back a term, they found a match! The resemblance is quite apparent!

The successful con definitely gave a few people ideas!
I have the same family name as the king of Morocco… you gave me some ideas girl thanks

King of Morocco, eh? This one’s aiming higher! I think Morocco needs to keep a track of this!
Someone went a step further and decided being a fictional superhero from the Marvel Universe would be a brilliant idea….

That was until another person pointed out that might not be such a good idea after all!
It’s gone be cool until they keep asking you to say “Wakanda Forever”.

And what do ya know, they were right. Pretend to be anything, except the Prince of Wakanda. Chadwick Boseman will be saying “Wakanda Forever”… FOREVER.

I have a feeling Indians with the last name Modi can at least aim for relatives of the PM! Might work!
So peeps, now you know what you can try if you don’t get a reservation at a restaurant! Do it on a busy night so nobody has time to check Google. And here’s a pro-tip: If they ask you any official questions, just say it’s top secret and walk away!
