This might be a really dumb question, but are body doubles even like an actual real thing?
I can see how they were on like medieval times when no one actually knew what anyone they hadn’t met in person looked like, and if some fancy guy surrounded by guards was supposed to be the king he was probably the king.
But in modern times with photos and mass media and Internet I don’t think anyone would fall for it.
Outside of like…stunt doubles? Not that I am particularly aware of, and definitely not in the way these articles try to frame it.
Could a decoy motorcade or something be sent out? Yes, that is possible and probably advisable when the CIA wants you dead. But you don’t have other people pretend to be you and make public appearances and give speeches at your behest.
