Obama filming for episodes of Mr. Robot'' Muscle Flexbrook (@Kontra402) July 1, 2016Was that an actual cameo by the leader of the free world' He might be a lame-duck president, but Obama still has to run the country, folks. No, he didn't actually make a cameo on "Mr. Robot."An individual close to the productiontold Business Insider that the part in which Obama appears to say, "Tyrell Wellick and F Society engaged in this attack," was created by the show's visual effects team and voiced by an Obama impersonator.Any other words that appeared to be spoken by the president were skillfully spliced together from actual clips of Obama speaking in the past.Nice job fooling us, "Mr. Robot."SEE ALSO:A 'Mr. Robot' star reveals what it's really like behind the scenes of the hacker dramaDON'T MISS:Meet Meryl Streep's 30-year-old daughter, who's the next rising star of TVJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: Obama had some incredible reactions while campaigning with Hillary Clinton
