A Guy Named Dylan Desclos (Briefly) Convinced Las Vegas He Was Justin Bieber

“Me and my mom were out shopping at the Las Vegas outlets and, all of a sudden, we just see this whole crowd hovering over this one person,” TikTok user Kayla explained. “The security guy told us it was Justin Bieber, and we’re like, “No way." We went up and took a picture with him. It does not look like him. Tell me why there’s not more security guards around this man.”

Kayla’s mother added, “He walked through the mall and out of the mall with one security guy and one person filming him, and you’re telling me that’s Justin Bieber walked out into the open?”

Desclos also appeared to perform at a nightclub. To his credit, he did manage to copy some of Bieber’s mannerisms, tattoos, and stage swagger. But for seasoned Beliebers, the jig was up pretty quickly. 

“Does Justin Bieber know he was performing in vegas,” one person commented on a video. 

“Is Justin Bieber in the room with us,” another said. 

The prank went so far that even professional wrestler Charlotte Flair snapped a selfie with the fake Bieber before swiftly deleting it once she found out she’d been duped.

The whole stunt is peak Vegas, where Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Marilyn Monroe look-alikes roam freely. 

If you can’t catch the real Bieber on tour, there’s probably a knockoff version in town ready to sell you the fantasy for hella cheap.
