A Guy Impersonating Alan From 'The Hangover' In Vegas Is Quitting His $160K Per Year Job Because It Was Killing Him
Daily Mail – A former restaurant manager who has been living the high life earning $165,000 a year as the doppelganger of Alan from hit movie The Hangover says he’s had to leave his job because the boozy lifestyle is killing him.
Thaddeus Kalinoski, 40, would spend his days and nights in Las Vegas attending wild parties alongside celebrities and beautiful women – just like the movie character he impersonates.
He soon got sucked into the drunken, drug-fueled parties, and found himself on a path to destruction.
Thaddeus, who would go on to make more than $1,000 a night, said people would just come up to him, hand him drinks and want to party with the Alan look-a-like.
“Girls were making out with me in cabs and nightclubs within seconds of meeting me and people were just so kind.
“I suffered a real life Hangover and I just couldn’t do it anymore,” he confessed. “I believe that life got so hectic I probably would’ve died if I continued down that path.”
The whole story initially went viral a few years back but some of Thaddeus’ tales, including chicks literally throwing themselves at him to the point where sometimes he’d come home with ripped pants, are worth a read on Daily Mail. And overall it sounds like this guy is an ingrate, turning down a job that apparently pays that well, has him just partying and required to stay a little fat, and illogically keeps him swimming in poon. But as anyone who’s been to Vegas will tell you, three days there is enough. You lose some money, you spend even more money stupidly at some sort of outdoor pool, you eat a buffet, hit a strip club or actual club or two and all of a sudden you feel like a bloated monster hanging onto society by a thread. Having to do that for months on end, being expected to party endlessly like Duffman on The Simpsons, it doesn’t sound like any way for a man to live. The money sounds great but that’s like living ten years for every one, totally unsustainable.
That said, the whole way this guy got into the Alan impersonation game was because he was depressed and fat coming off a divorce…I can think of no better way to get back in the game than being a 40-year-old ripping through Vegas, drunk and going wild, having chicks throw themselves at you because you’re dressed like a character from a movie with diminishing returns each sequel. And getting paid a shitload for it? That’s about as good of a breakup plan as any short of broadcasting it on a two hour satellite radio show to an audience of tens of thousands.
