Celebrity "Look-Alikes" (according to the Internet)

[fm93]

I found this cool feature: celebrity.myheritage.com

The gist of it is this: you upload your picture to the site, which then scans the image details for a face and searches its database for celebrity pictures whose faces have the closest match to the facial details from the uploaded image. That's how it's supposed to work, at least. I have my doubts because I've tried it with a bunch of different people's pictures (I didn't have any of myself, so I used some from the self-pics thread and Facebook), and while some of them do bear a slight resemblance to the celebrities, there are others that don't look remotely alike. The site includes celebrity matches of different genders as well, for instance.

So without further ado, the most interesting findings (for the sake of brevity, I've listed only the top match):


JPH--74% resemblance to Alec Baldwin

TwilightPhoenix--60% resemblance to Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Rational Gaze--63% resemblance to Jada Pinkett Smith! His top male resemblance was 61% to Snoop Dogg! (See why I sometimes doubt this site?)

disciple100--75% resemblance to Peter Sarsgaard



Try it out, guys. According to the site, who do you most resemble?

I bet you DO look like Jack Nicholson, but you just can't handle the truth, can you?

I used to look like Jack Black when I was younger, but not any more. But I don't look like Jack Nicholson either.

Numerous people say I look like Matthew Broderick. I'll take it as a compliment.....I guess.

One of my classmates--a blonde girl--had Ted Bundy as her top look-alike.
