    One can do an impersonation “truthfully”, in the sense that everyone is aware it’s an act. See: Elvis performers. I believe the phrase falsely impersonate is to imply that you were employing an impersonation under false pretense, i.e. someone assumes you are someone else and you play into that misconception.
