Who else looks like they just HAVE to be related? →[More:]
I was watching Bottle Rocket this morning, and it occurred to me that Owen Wilson looks a LOT like a young Dennis Hopper.

I googled "Owen Wilson" and "Dennis Hopper" and "resemblance" and was relieved to see that I'm not the only one who has noticed this.

Owen

Dennis

What other actors or other celebrities do you look at and think "Oh wow, they just HAVE to be related somehow".

(Include pics if you can.)

Well Tina Fey and *gag* Sarah Palin, of course.

But let's look at Jennifer Ehle and Meryl Streep.

Oh wait, someone's done a comparison that shows their similarities better. Look at the bone structure.

Neither are super well-known, but Nina Dobrev and Emmanuelle Chriqui. I mean...come on. How the hell are these not the same person?

one of them and the other one of them

Nina is from Vampire Diaries and EC is a movie actress, starring in such notable films as You Don't Mess With the Zohan.

Boobies boobies everywhere in those links, iconomy! My eyes are dazzled!

None of them have the glory that is Specklet's breasts!

Heh I just found this. It's a three-way confuzzlement with Emmanuelle, Nina, and J-Woww.

Heh. Mullacc, there's a way old thread of mine here from years ago, a Photo Friday post called "myspace face" or something like that...there's a pic of me in there. That's all ya gets. I have cameraphobia.

I've never seen jrossi but I'm betting she's a looker ;)

My daughter and I had a discussion about how Jesse Eisenberg is the poor man's Michael Cera. Apparently, we're not the only ones who think so.

Holy shit, that thread is epic. We have to do that again.

posted by iconomy 22 July | 15:53

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It's like Christmas all over again!

How come nobody's yet mentioned Liza Minnelli and our very own Pink Superhero?

posted by Senyar 22 July | 16:17

Wow, iconomy, I'd completely forgotten about that thread! Awesome.

Oh man, that Jennifer Ehle should so be cast as Meryl's daughter in something. And I love seeing pictures of Meryl Streep. It is so refreshing to see wrinkles on a woman actor.

I want someone to write a movie where Helen Hunt, Meryl Streep and Liza Minnelli are best friends and so are their daughters Jennifer Ehle, Leelee Sobieski and ThePinkSuperhero.

I confused Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera just today. In fact, it was this thread that made me realize my confusion.
