Now here's an image we thought we'd never see.

U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong-un greeted a large audience outside the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong, hugging and kissing each other to raucous applause.

Of course, the unlikely duo were impersonators. Both were played by musicians who were there to film a series of videos.

"I think he's a great leader and he's much like me, he's a dictator," said Hong-Kong based Australian Kim-lookalike who only goes by his first name Howard, in a video captured by Reuters.

"I think with that in mind, he's going to turn the United States into North Korea 2.0. So we're going to be great friends," he added.

His U.S. counterpart was played by Dennis Alan, a 66-year-old American.

Alan reportedly spent more than a hour spreading on orange foundation and putting on his tailor-made wig.

And if you can't get enough of the duo, fear not -- they'll soon be making an appearance in a "politically incorrect" performance in Hong Kong, they said on Facebook.

It'll be a while before we get these images out of our heads.
