The deceased leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein's lookalike from Egypt had been threatened to act in an adult movie impersonating the vile leader, reports said.

According to Mohamed Bishr,hailing from Alexandria, the Iraqi gang wanted to sell the video as exclusive erotic footage of the former leader.
The Daily Mail also mentioned that he was beat up for refusing the offer though he was offered a generous sim of $333,000.

He had received several threats on the phone saying he would be kidnapped unless he accepted the offer. Later he was attacked while he was going to a cafe in Alexandria by three men who forced him into a van from his car. The gun wielding men later pushed him away from the van onto a pavement, he told the Egyptian local newspaper, Al-Ahram.

According to the family members the men had Iraqi or Syrian accents, the Daily Mail reported.
The Egyptian was extremely identical to Saddam Hussein and this was not the first time he had been threatened. Earlier a few Iraqis in Egypt had tried to turn him in to the government to claim a reward.

Saddam Hussein was executed in December 2006 but he was notorious for his body doubles whom he used as decoys to avoid attacks.
