A LONELY heart can't get a date � because he looks like late dictator Kim Jong-il. William Cheong says ladies simply see him as the North Korean tyrant � even though he's a West London plumber.
William, 43, from Acton, said: "I'm single and have no children and I would love to meet someone � but looking like Kim Jong-il doesn't help."
The British-born bachelor, known to pals as KT, is even the same height as Jong-il � 5ft 4ins. He hoped the despot's death at 69 from a heart attack in December would boost his love prospects. But the communist brute is still fresh in most people's minds.
A friend of William said: "He hoped when Jong-il died he would get a bit more luck, but it's the same old thing.
"William is a lovely guy who has a lovely house � all he needs is someone to share his life.
"His only problem is that he sometimes gets mistaken for Kim Jong-il and that is not exactly a magnet for the ladies." William admitted he felt lonely � just like the dictator's character in hit movie Team America: World Police.
A clip in the 2004 film shows the puppet-version of the ruler � who cannot pronounce the letter 'l' � singing "I'm so ronery" in frustration at being alone and misunderstood. The famous scene is said to have infuriated Jong-il, who was a huge film fan.
William said it was "no fun" resembling him, but one good thing has come from it � he got work as a lookalike. He has even starred as Jong-il in a Danish ad for a phone firm.
He added: "It's great for my sideline as an actor � but not very good for my love life."
