Separated at Birth? Which celebrity (-ies) do you most resemble? Upload your photo (free reg. required)and let MyHeritage's Facial Recognition tell you.
Setting sex: M got me a scowling Paul Newman looking like he could play Jack Layton.
I'm impressed that the algorithm figured out where the face was in the picture and zoomed in on it. I played around with a similar thing a few years ago and got matched to Freddie Mercury, Noah Wyle, and Salma Hayek.
I didn't have to enter any information other than the picture...
I just cleared my cache of cookies -- and tried again. You can decline to register (by closing the reg. window) -- and it will allow for the uploading of one photo.
I tried (it wouldn't scan my face! it hates me!), but I don't know why I even bothered- strangers tell me almost every day I look like a young Liza Minelli.
I got Maria Sharapova 68% (not bad for a guy with a few days of stubble), Martin Scorcese 51%, Garry Kasparov 49%, Shahid Kapoor 48%, Ingmar Bergman 45%, Keith Moon 45%, Charles Schulz 44%, Milos Forman 43%, and Marlon Brando 43%.
If looks were everything I would look good on a tennis court, kick anybody's ass in chess, could draw an endearing cartoon, drink like a fish until I die and be the best damn drummer to ever walk the earth, direct some of the best damn movies ever made. And on top of that, star in some of Hollywood's most famous classics with a brief stint in Bollywood. Where did I go wrong?
All right with this image I get Kirsten Dunst, Madonna, Vincenzo Belini, Epasha Basu, Hale Barry, Natalie Portman, Alliyah, Romy Schneider, but she looks just like Angelina Jolie!
Ortho, you can close the registration popup. You then get a message saying they "respect your privacy," but if you want to upload additional photos you'll have to register.
This is the same one someone posted a while back. Apparently, I still look like Jennifer Connelly. (I don't.)
I tried this once, and my top match was Eddie Murphy. Who is a nice-looking man and all, except that I'm a big white guy with a beard. I think it was because I was smiling and we both have sexy bedroom eyes.
OK, I just tried another photo where I'm wearing glasses and now suddenly I'm a 70% match for .... Elton John. Wow, I feel so much better - I am so feeling the love tonight.
Bizarrely enough the new photo makes me a 57% match for Katie Holmes - so not only do I look like the pope of Scientology but I could also marry it's premier nut-job! How cool is that?!?!
