Billy LeRoy Joins Facebook, Asks in Ad: ‘Do You Want to Be Me?’

By DANIEL MAURER


Mike Zohn of Obscura Antiques got a reality show, and now another one of the neighborhood’s antiques-and-oddities dealers, Billy LeRoy, is giving him company in the limelight. DNAinfo points to a new energy drink ad that stars the Billy’s Antiques impresario giving The Most Interesting Man in the World a run for his money with lines like “Do you want to be me? I want to be me,” and “I’m not on Facebook, but I will be soon.” (Turns out the latter isn’t a joke: Billy’s created a Facebook page a few weeks ago.) Best line: “What is it with you guys with the flip-flops?”
