Logan Paul has spoken out after 'trolling' a BBC journalist with a lookalike for a sit-down interview over his cryptocurrency dealings.

The BBC launched an investigation into Paul's promotion of cryptocurrencies over concerns that he misled his fans into purchasing cryptocurrency

He denies any wrongdoing.

The broadcaster released a documentary titled 'Logan Paul: Bad Influence?', where reporter Matt Shea tried to conduct an in-person interview with the social media star.

Jamie Tahsin, the move's producer and director, said Paul repeatedly turned them down.

"For several months, Paul refused to talk to the BBC about our investigation," Tahsin wrote for the BBC. "Then he appeared to relent, inviting us to interview him at his gym in Puerto Rico.

"However, when our crew arrived, a Logan Paul lookalike turned up in the YouTuber’s place."

A video shared on Instagram shows Shea sitting down with Paul's lookalike and the aftermath of the interview.

"I have to say, the real Logan Paul looks very different," he says.

The lookalike responds: "Did you come all the way over here to ask about how I look? To which Shea replied: "Is Logan coming?"

The man replies: "I’m right here bud."

Shea subsequently walks away from the interview, saying: "Let’s get out of here, we’re not doing this."

A group of people then enter the gym and begin to shout abuse aimed at the BBC.

It turns out Paul was dictating the stunt from behind the scenes as he watched the interview between Shea and the lookalike, who was told what to say during the interview.

The YouTuber-turned-WWE superstar shared footage of the interview from a vantage point on his YouTube channel.

After being confronted by the crowd, Shea cut the interview short, with Tahsin revealing that they received a letter from Paul's lawyer, warning them of possible consequences the company would face if they published their findings.

In 2022, Paul came under fire after the price of crypto token Dink Doink nosedived after he promoted it on his podcast.

But he failed to tell his listeners that he was friends with the project's creator and the two had brainstormed the cryptocurrency together, sparking controversy among the crypto world.

SPORTbible has reached out to Logan Paul for comment.
