Subject: Who's your celebrity lookalike?

Written By: YWN on 01/09/06 at 2:26 pm

I got this from another forum...

http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/tryFaceRecognition.php?s=1&u=g0&lang=EN&restore

Alright...this is one crappy face recognition system.  It gave me a 45% match with Condaleeza Rice...seriously.  It seems to be based on the direction your face is pointing.

I have no way of doing this myself, I have been compared to Kurt Cobain once, Ozzy Osbourne a couple times and Austin Powers(UGH!), which was Mike Myers role.

OK, I did it.
I got 70% Catherine Deneuve (what!)
and Naomi Watts....all facing the same direction I was.  Duh.
Then 61% Jean Seaberg, and that's someone people compare me to all the time...
and sh'es also doing the same pose.

it's dumb, but it will inflate your ego if you're feeling down.

This thing isn't as inaccurate as you would think. Remember, facial scans only take bone structure into account, not other features that we do just looking at someone with the naked eye such as hair color, eyes, complexion etc. At first I thought to myself "V.I. Lenin is bald, thinner than me, different eye color etc." but then I remembed seeing a special on facial scanning technology awhile back and I remembered that it only scans the bone structure in your face, not other features that make up how a person looks.

One reason why I think this may be more accurate than you guys are giving it credit for is because I have been mistaken for being South Asian more than once, and Preity Zinta(one of my matches) is South Asian. I've also mistaken for Italian, Arab, and Mexican, but I am actually Anglo/Celtic for the most part. But look at Catherine Zeta-Jones she looks Spanish but shes 100% Welsh.

Actually, the Irish once lived in Spain.

I am also Anglo/Celtic, at least 40% or so English, 25% Irish, and some other stuff (mostly Celtic).

Not necessarily. You may just have a few similarities in bone structure, but not really the same characteristics that make those guys attractice. And if you will exam that pic of you and that other guy you posted(Hugh grant?) there actually are some similarities, you have a similar shaped face for one thing(more oval than round), the nose too..

Besides, some people think I look like my dad in certain ways. And my dad is considered to be a pretty attractive guy but I've never had any luck with women at all. Infact most other guys in my family are the opposite of me when it comes to dating and the like. I'm kinda the black sheep of my family in that area..

Subject: Re: Who's your celebrity lookalike?

It is still strongly based on the direction your face is pointing...  Most of the results I got for that picture of me were of other people rolling their eyes or looking up.

Fair play. I've been reasonably successful, and after a closer inspection, it would seem as though there are a few (extremely) minor similarities between myself and Mr Grant.
Never mind, who am I to argue with the scientifics of face structure?  :D

I also agree with that, although I did try to take a face-on picture

I'm happy looking like myself really, but when I lived in Hampstead Village in London I twice got mistaken for
Charlene Spiteri from TEXAS.   :-[ :-[

If I could choose to look like anyone else I'd opt for TALISA SOTO  one of the x Bond girls, she's quite oriental looking and really pretty imo..and I'm probably the nearest colouring too.

I saw MORTEN HARKET and the band recently on television here in the UK as they publicised their comeback album, and must say he really is aging well, he looks very healthy and fit and is a real cutie - mind you he  always was  ;)

It's nice to hear they're still about, & I hope they make some kind of an impact again, though I suspect a lot of what they got was from teeny-boppers of the time, & unfortunately for them, no matter how young Morten might still look, I suspect their time has passed too. The fickle public ............

Edited

Hi Al, yeah they're getting lots and lots of airplay in the UK - Analogue was quite a cool comeback single actually and they seem to have fitted back into the scene really well.      'Cry Wolf Wahoooooo..'    ;D
