A Jeffrey Epstein look-alike was spotted in Palm Beach, Florida, this week and instantly became an internet sensation.
Epstein’s doppelganger, dubbed “Palm Beach Pete,” went viral after he was spotted driving down a highway in Florida.
“Epstein is alive! Epstein is alive!” a man who posted the viral video of ‘Palm Beach Pete’ shouted.
The resemblance is uncanny.
Palm Beach Pete said he was often mistaken for Jeffrey Epstein years ago when he lived in New York, but it ramped up again after a video of him driving on I-95 in Florida was posted to Instagram.
“I think it went viral last Thursday or Friday,” Palm Beach Pete said, according to The New York Post. “I was out for dinner with my girlfriend and some Generation Zers were talking, like, whispering, and she said, ‘Peter, they’re talking about you,’ so I went over to their table and said, ‘Hey guys, are you talking about me?’ Non-threatening. And they said, ‘Yes, are you the guy that went viral?’ I said, ‘That’s me.
Palm Beach Pete took to his social media to address the conspiracy theories circulating on the internet.
“Hello, this is Palm Beach Pete, just wanted to thank everybody for the support and good vibes… I’m not Jeffrey Epstein,” Palm Beach Pete said in a video posted to X.
