Inside Hannibal Buress' Red Carpet Imposter Prank at 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Premiere (Exclusive)

Buress, who plays Coach Wilson in the Marvel-Sony superhero movie, wrote in a since-deleted tweet Wednesday afternoon that he was offering $500 for "a lookalike with solid comedic timing for an event tonight."

Hours later, a man named Joe Carroll showed up to embrace the role for pictures, fans and even reporters who were interviewing him.

TooFab talked to Caroll to get a play-by-play of the night. Here's what went down:

“You know I don't even know how it happened like there was a rumor that he had a tweet out looking for someone and I've worked for him before, so we kind of linked up and he said he needed me for an event. I didn't know what it was for up until like almost right before I left the house.”

“I had that in my closet, I had never worn it. I was saving it for something special and I guess it's a special occasion so I threw that on. The jeans had a rip in them so I had a neighbor sew them for me before I left so it was like a last minute, 'Oh my God' moment.”

“No! No one knew none the wiser, which is both funny and sad at the same time. I didn't interact with castmates only because I didn't want to draw as much attention to myself. I mostly interacted with fans, signed autographs, took pictures and tried to avoid the castmates. But I definitely did the red carpet. I definitely did an interview with Marvel that got taken down, but someone has it. It's probably on YouTube.”

“I kind of took my own initiative when I was doing the interview. I looked up his interviews, trying to pick up on his mannerisms. I'm not sure if I was able to, but I guess it worked well enough. I just talked about the project and you know, trying to channel what he was saying. I figured he would have a nice genuine response for working with an all-star cast.”

“You know there's always a possibility. I mean, I was wearing sunglasses so I could be easily mistaken for him. I'm pretty sure down the line that security will probably tighten their tactics in regards to red carpets and things like this. I feel like even though this is last minute, I was able to pull a few strings. There are people who are smooth talkers, it's very rare for someone to crash a red carpet so I don't think this will happen too often.”

“It's definitely sad that a certain race can be generalized and one can be played as another so easily. I do think it's sad that people can generalize races, thinking everyone looks like each other. There are celebrity impersonators that are hired specifically to impersonate celebrities. This is a rare case where I wasn't specifically hired for that. I just so happened to fit the part. Nobody was harmed in the making of this moment.”

“I do have a book series that is out and we're releasing another book this year. So the book series is called Sinful Confessions. It is a drama suspense series that I originally wrote as a soap opera that turned into a book series.”
