Meet my body double! Chelsea Handler poses with her male stand-in while shooting promo for her Netflix series
Chelsea Handler spent part of Wednesday shooting promotional material for the second season of her Netflix talk-show Chelsea.
The 41-year-old posted an Instagram photo of herself smiling with her body double, whose long hair was the same shade of blonde as hers.
One rather striking difference, though, was that this body double is a man, leading her to have to caption: 'This is my body double for today's shoot. Not joking.'

'This is my body double for today's shoot': Chelsea Handler posted an Instagram photo on Wednesday from a promotional shoot for her Netflix series, revealing that her body double for the day was in fact a man with a bit of scruff
The erstwhile E! star wore a tight black shirt with Kingston scrawled across it in gold, as well as a matching pair of black trousers showcasing her svelte legs.
Meanwhile, the man who was supposed to be standing in for her had a bit of scruff on his face and had pulled on a baggy grey tank top.
The Livingston native kept her Snapchat following entertained with video dispatches from the shoot, including one in which she showed the double off.
'Can you dig it?': She also introduced her following to the body double on Snapchat, asking: 'You're male, right?' and prompting his reply: 'Oh, yeah'
It began as a selfie, in which she said with a chuckle: 'I’m shooting my marketing shoot today for season two, and this is my stand-in.'
The camera then turned to the double standing in front of a backdrop and, seeming to realize she was filming him, smirking: 'Can you dig it?'
Without replying to that question, Handler veered into her own line of inquiry, saying: 'You're male, right?' and prompting his reply: 'Oh, yeah.'
Preparation for her own bit of the shoot: By the next video, she was in a bathrobe having her hair and makeup done by two women
By the next video, she was preparing to appear in the photo-shoot herself, having wrapped herself in a white bathrobe and settled into a chair.
Her hair wound around curlers and a heavy makeup job on her face, she said: 'We're shooting my promo shoot for season two of - what's my name? - Chelsea.'
She then swung the camera around to introduce viewers to the two women working diligently away at her as she filmed herself.
'This is Tootsie, this is the other Tootsie...': She went on to introduce her Snapchat following to the two women who worked diligently away at her as she filmed herself
'This is Tootsie, this is the other Tootsie, and then there's Jiffy,' she said, turning the camera onto waving stand-up comic Jeff Wild, who's written and performed not only for Chelsea but also for Handler's old E! show Chelsea Lately.
The second season of Chelsea will include segments filmed in such diverse locales as India and the Great Plains of the Dakotas.
It'll premiere on the streaming service come April 14, and will now roll out only one hourlong episode each Friday, as opposed to the three half-hour episodes a week that comprised the first season.
