Muscle Beach is the home of workout enthusiasts in the area, obviously, so you’d imagine that played a part in him and his fake entourage getting mobbed.
And boy did they get mobbed, as Islam’s Instagram showed
Without the shades, Islam doesn’t look all that much like McGregor
But put him in the gear and you can see why everyone fell for it, with thanks to his hype squad giving it the big one around him
He’s got the look down, but what about the voice? The YouTube clip doesn’t feature him speaking much, but this video on Instagram shows he hasn’t quite got the Dublin lilt down
Fair play to him though, he had half of Venice Beach believing he was the real thing.
