My friend looks exactly like Lin-Manuel Miranda and it’s torture

Haters gonna hate

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to look like a celebrity? What about White House rapper extraordinaire and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda? For my friend Francisco Corredor the struggle is real.

Francisco Corredor is a graduate of the SUNY Purchase Opera program and a dead-ringer for our Hamilton favorite. Like Lin-Manuel, he is also Puerto Rican, raps, plays piano, and composes#holler.

His friends and family (yes, even his grandparents) have been confused about what they think was Francisco’s recent success.

The day Lin-Manuel Miranda spoke about Puerto Rico at the White House my friend’s phone was blowing up all day.

As a celebrity look alike, he just had to embrace it.

His own father was even receiving texts. Francisco’s…not Lin-Manuel’s.

Francisco has performed at the US Open with Josh Groban.

Donned Hamilton-esqure attire in Opera’s.

And can even be found posing with various other musical celebrities.

But what does Francisco have to say about it…

So do you see it yet? Don’t worry guys, Francisco will be going to the Hamilton open-call and maybe one day this will all make sense to the world.

Then I can see him pose for selfies with “his” actual fans. In the meantime you can check out his page.
