Chinese celebrity lookalikes landing themselves in hot water for cashing in on their resemblances
Being a celebrity lookalike can come with certain perks, not least that you can profit from it. But for Chen Xinling, who bears an uncanny resemblance to international Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing, it became a legal liability.
In September 2020, the 32-year-old was sued by Fan for infringing her portrait rights. At the time, Chen was a popular online influencer whose live-streaming sales channel on Chinese e-commerce site Taobao had a million-strong fan base. (Taobao is owned by Alibaba, the owner of the South China Morning Post.)

These celebrity are too much. Who is she to say that Chen cannot look like Fan Bing Bing. She might as well do a caveat or copyrights on her name and her look. Did she, no, right. Behave please.
