Who do you look like?

While I won't make any extraordinary claims, I will say that I can't watch "The Ninth Gate" as Johnny Depp looks eerily like me in that film. Sadly, I think it's the only one of his films where there's a resemblance.

Here's that website.

I tried 3 photos and got: Kenneth Branagh 76%, Jon Bon Jovi 72%, Paul Walker 68%, Burt Reynolds (WTF??!!?!?) 64% , and Luke Wilson 60%.

I did notice that the orientation your pic is taken in plays a BIG part in what celeb you are said to resemble. The pic where I came up as Burt Reynolds was with my head at a weird angle and kinda making a weird face.

Yeah, I think it mostly analyzes the shape of your face. So if you're at an angle, it will compare you to pictures of celebs whose pics are at an angle as well.

My first photo got a lot of huhs? but my second landed a young (1965ish) Bob Dylan. I have been told that I look like him when I've had a perm. I also landed Bela Lugosi! I'll take that!

Using non-computer technology, strangers usually tell me I look either like Ron Reagan Jr., Matthew Broderick or Steve Buscemi when I have a mustache.

I have a co-worker who was calling me Captain Jack Sparrow when I recently had a 'stache and goatte, but I think he was being very generous. Another co-worker (head of HR actually) said I looked like a young man trying desparately to look older.

Depending on my hair it alternates between John Lennon, a young James Spader, Sid Vicious or an anorexic Patrick Stumph (the lead singer for Fall Out Boy)

Someone once asked me if I was Mario Van Peebles...

Unfortunately for all the ladies, the person who asked me was a nearly passed out drunk guy on 6th Street in Austin, Tx during the 1991 SXSW Music/Film festival.

IOW, NOT the best eye-witness.

I'm not sure that *any* of those are flattering. But, my parents apparently chose Comeliness as my dump-stat.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
DON'T DO THAT! I think I just ruined my monitor, I'll never get that Pepsi out of it.

You need to try lots of photos. To be honest I did and got lots of results, mostly different. I lost my really impressive one with cool people on....but I do keep getting Roger daltery, who is that?

Lead singer of The Who and brilliant solo carreer in the 80s. If its true, that pretty righteous.

Steve Buscemi
edit: but with a beard and mustache

I've met him, and I can see it.

Okay, after some serious thought -

When I was younger I was told I looked a lot like "Weird" Al Yankovich, but that was a long time ago, more recently I was told I looked like Geddy Lee after an eating binge at an all you can eat buffet - Gee thanks.

But I do bear a striking resemblance to Jesse James but with more hair, (the outlaw not the biker), but I guess it doesn't count because I am distanly related (13th or 14th cousins IIRC).

So there you go, I look like Jesse Lee Yankovich.
