Here’s Looking At You, Kid
I stumbled upon this via another k-e-r-r-i Kerri, who happens to reside in the lovely Lone Star State. (Hi! Kerri) So, naturally, last night I spent WAY too much time uploading photos of myself and friends and family members, to see which celebrities I/they most resemble. Read: good old-fashioned procrastinating fun!
Unfortunately my best procrastination intentions were initially foiled by the fact that I apparently look like no celebrity. Which, meant: no facial recognition matches, and thus: no added time procrastinating.
It also apparently means my facial shape is somewhat unique. Or probably that their facial recognition software is not so much accurate as it is so much nonsense.
I did have a stranger once tell me I looked “so much! like Minnie Driver.”
Come to think of it that might have happened after said stranger consumed three Beefeater martinis I had served him.
While my face is highly uncelebrity-like, I had much better luck using pictures of Chris, Hans, and babycarrot sister. Behold:
Using this picture of Chris:
I received these matches:
Yeah. Looking SO good. Chris, I mean. And those other guys I guess, too. I mean, I suppose they are all sharing shapes and angles of facial lines. At least, supposedly. What’s funny is that I’m a big fan of all of those famous faces, especially Roy Scheider, who has been a favorite of mine ever since playing police chief of tourist-trap Amity Island in Jaws.
Hans, your returns were great, ranging from a gal who is making a living beating men at “their own game,” the postergirl of Jazz herself, the woman epitomizing old Hollywood glamour, and the screen siren most famous for performing the sexiest of all leg re-crosses:
I liked this return, too:
Babycarrot sister’s pictures made me think that maybe I should start calling her supermodel sister, and that when I told her last Halloween she would make a perfect Hermione, I was on to something:
And then when I uploaded this picture of babycarrot sister and Will, just for laughs:
I was definitely laughing when I saw these “matches”:
Dude Chris also looks a whole effing lot like Dr. Greene
Hänni, yes! you’re right, he does! That’s awesome.
Kerri, you do NOT look like Minnie Driver-of-the-Iron-Jaw. Be glad, seriously. And Chris, to me, looks almost exactly like Richard Gere, especially around the eyes. And also, thanks. Thanks a lot, because I will be spending hours today monkeying around on that site and thinking even MORE about myself than I usually do. Plus, if I come up looking like, say, Oliver Platt or something, I’m going to send you my therapy bills.
Kelly, you make me laugh. Ditto to the Richard Gere/Chris sentiments. He’s HOT, pretty much. ;) And if you come up looking like Oliver Platt I will personally come pick you up and drive you myself to the best therapist homemade baked goods can buy.
I think Chris kind of looks like Moby….
Hi Kerri! (Love the name. I know a special Bug with the same name, though hers is spelled with a y.)
This site looks fun; I’ll have to play later. Thanks for stopping by!
I could see that, Christie. Especially with the picture I chose to use.
Thanks Mrtl! I know a pretty rad k-e-r-r-y myself.
ha! minnie driver… i see it!
nickel creek has been ringing in my ears lately too. such a great album. i think they’ve really grown up, come into their own, and are breaking out of that cheesy, simple melody style they were once known for.
Oh dear lord. I look like Kirsten Dunced (ugh) or Sheryl Crow. The first picture said I looked like Nicole Richie. HAHAHAHHA. IN HER DREAMS! ;)
fun! you and minnie, yes, totally. only you’re prettier. chris and matthew fox, yes and when i first saw the picture of him i totally saw richard gere being a possiblity.
so does that mean matthew fox looks like richard gere? that is the question i am left with.
How much fun is that! Don’t worry darlin - I didn’t have any matches either… don’t know how I feel about this!
psst - my birthday is next week, we have to hang out SOON!
I’m with Christie. I think he looks like Moby. Babycarrot sister reminds me of a young Jodi Foster. Like before that whole Clarice thing.
so, apparently my old neighbor was correct in telling me i look like a boy. oh well. at least it’s a boy of the josh hartnett variety.
and, if i were you, i’d be proud my face didn’t get any returns. talk about originality.
Why do I love this?
Because I do!
Ok - I’m hallucinating. Just added you to bloglines and saw a post that included a poem by Lucille Clifton, and (OMG I love her!) wanted to ask if you’ve read “Superman.” I actually got to see her read when I lived in Maryland. Incredible woman!
Melissa likes mussels. And glow-bracelets. The end.
I tried this and got no matches! What does that say about me? Good pics, Ker.
hawarv you
