Soccer Extreme : A WAITER was asked to star in an ad campaign as Fernando Torres’ body double after being repeatedly mistaken for the Anfield hero. 18-year-old Joshua Orr, from Aigburth, who works at the Gallery Bar and Grill in School Lane, spent the day with the Liverpool ace thanks to his remarkable similarity to the Spanish striker.Josh was spotted by Sound Films executive Andy Gordon, and the firm used him as a body double for Torres in a Spanish commercial.
And this meant spending eight hours on a film shoot with one of the best strikers in Europe.
And now Formby Times readers can make up their own minds on the similarity of the pair, with an exclusive photograph of the pair.
Josh, from south Liverpool, said: “Fernando won the game of tennis, but he was not that much better than me. And he told me that since watching Lord of the Rings, all he wanted to be was an elf.”
