I am not certain if this is a topic I have seen around the forum in the past three years, but if it was, I am vaguely unaware of it. I do know there is a derivative of it in portraits, so that may be where my mind is wandering.
Long-Lost Celebrity Twins | NBC Dallas-Fort Worth
With that little thinking bubble aside, I found this feature displayed on Yahoo!, and now I would like to get some different takes on "who looks like whom", perhaps why you think so, and if you followed the link above, which of those pairings do you disagree with. I only made it image 23, (wow, 110 images! Some journalist had mountains of free time to compile this list) but I also thought it to be the funniest. Why, muppets are always funny!
My own take is that I mix up
Dustin Hoffman and
Sean Penn regularly, not because I can't tell them apart, but because my mind likes to compartmentalize everything, and they look relatively-akin, I noticed them as actors at the same time, so I just attributed the duo as "Dustin Hoffpenn".
It's funny that the article (I don't know what else to call it, but article doesn't seem right) mentions
Tom Sizemore, because I just recently saw a gangster film with Christian Slater and Dempsey, and the first thing I thought when catching sight of
Chris Penn was "Wow! I didn't know Sizemore was in this feature as well...but, something about his face is amiss somehow...". I had to look up the film just to find the credits, and instead i found Penn's name; and then I also remembered that I mistook his role in
Rush Hour for
Sizemore as well.
And a last one, I confuse Kristen Cavalierri(sp?) and Lauren Conrad alot. I only know them by name, and I am not exactly sure where either got their fame, though I can make an educated guess and say MTV. It's just their names I get confused by; when someone mentions either one, I mention the other. And the person goes "No. What does that have to do with anything?" and they look at me funny. I just associate both names to either girl at the same time when I hear them brought up in discussion, but if I were to see thier pictures, my reaction would be "Who is that?".
So, who do you mistake for another, semi-famous-wise? Or you could also talk about the facial similarities in celebrities as well--offer your own or just name one from the recent slideshow you saw.
