Real Life Zelig

It's great because it spoofs the kind of insecurity and pressure we all feel to be accepted -- in droll Woody Allen style.

Well now it turns it there's a Real-Life Zelig.
"Now psychologists in Italy have reported the real-life case of AD, a 65-year-old whose identity appears dependent on the environment he is in. He started behaving this way after cardiac arrest caused damage to the fronto-temporal region of his brain.
When with doctors, AD assumes the role of a doctor; when with psychologists he says he is a psychologist; at the solicitors he claims to be a solicitor. AD doesn't just make these claims, he actually plays the roles and provides plausible stories for how he came to be in these roles."
