The official Richard Branson lookalike

To prove that I am getting closer to Richard Branson, how about this...  I now have a connection to the Richard Branson lookalike, Ted Shevlane.  He's even from England, which means he's got an authentic English accent as well. A few years ago Virgin hosted a Richard Branson lookalike contest, Ted won and was featured in a Virgin commercial.  Perhaps Richard was too busy for a commercial shoot at the time and they needed a backup?  I'm not sure.

I figure if all else fails I could have a beer with the guy that looks like Richard Branson.  Heck, if we record it and just make the camera a little fuzzy, nobody will ever know. 

This has been one of the most fun connections to date.  It cracks me up, I had no idea that something like this would come up.  It has made Beer With Branson a blast.

Here's how it came about:
