Why even bother with getting an acting gig where they'll figure out you can't even act? Just fake the fame (is it fake if Google says it's real?), and get free meals, etc (hah, I guess Instagram was the platform for this a while ago).

There are people like the fake heiress Anna Sorokin who faked being wealthy, who's even getting movie deals after being caught, but never admitting to being wrong (this statement not checked for accuracy, I just noticed an interview where she seems to be claiming it's all been a misunderstanding). The world's a funny place.

A Formula 1 racer got his career started when he got himself a lift with 2 bosses of 2 different teams - each of them thought he was friends with the other guy. He talked his way into a driving job, but of course, once there, he had to show he could race.
