A strange case of mistaken identity has left a Florida man shaking his head after the man, who resembles Santa Claus, got into trouble at Walt Disney World.
The whole mess began when a group of excited children created a scene at Disney World after they confused 60-year old J.D. Worley with St. Nick himself.
The rotund, white bearded man graciously played along with the dreamy-eyed kids, and that, he says, sparked problems with the Orlando theme park management.
Someone apparently complained that a man in a red shirt and blue jeans was pretending to be Santa Claus and managers asked him to stop.
Worley claims Disney officials asked him to alter his appearance so he took off his red hat. However, Worley said he can't help looking like the Santa. "I look this way 24/7, 365 days a year," he explained. "This is me."
A Disney spokesman says the park was just trying to protect the magic of Santa.
