Alex Lee Of #ALEXFROMTARGET Appears On Ellen

After having a photo snapped of him by a Target shopper, Alex Lee appeared on The Ellen Show to discuss how he skyrocketed to social media fame, possibly due to his resemblance of a certain pop star.

"You, though, might not yet know who Alex from Target is. The story has it that a girl called Rims (well, that's what she's called on Twitter, at least) espied Alex from Target in, um, Target," reports CNET's Chris Matyszczyk.

"She took a picture of him and posted it Sunday to Twitter. She accompanied it with these words: "YOOOOOOOOOO." I know that's just one word, but there's surely a vast array of sentiment buried within it."

Lee, who bares some resemblance to Justin Bieber, had his number of Twitter followers jump from 144 to over 600K all from the initial photo of him.

He recounts thinking that his manager was showing him a fake photo but then realized that something was up when a few girls came in and showed him his own Twitter page.

Ellen Degeneres urged Lee to take advantage of his new found fame and also put him to work in her store and gave him a nice brand new iPad for appearing on his show.
