Famous lookalikes.

Which famous lookalikes stand out for you?

TV presenter Emma Willis always reminds me of film star Ava Gardner....different era's but both incredibly beautiful imo.
EMMA


AVA

Ava is far better looking. The top one (who is she???) has those slitty piss-hole eyes in that pic. Ava has sexier eyebrows too.

But yes, they're very similar - well spotted!

Or how about the two most famous Italian film stars of the 60's....
Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida?

Noel Gallagher and Paul Mcartney are similar
I think there are better pics but hey ho

An odd couple of lookalikes...

Jo Brand and John Sargeant.

Kylle and Joan Rivers

(Not a good pic of kylie)

I never spotted Paul Mcartney and Noel Galagher as looking alike before...but they do.
Paul also used to remind me of the actor Rodney Bewes.

Both Faces morphed

Kim Kardashian and Nicole Scherzinger

That was Joan before she had loads of plastic surgery....what a difference.

Remember Millicent Martin? to me Liz out of Corrie looks just like her.

Forgot to include the pics..

I think Kylie can change her look to fit quite a few different people....probably why she is still so popular, she can change with the times.
Odd on that pic of the two faces morphed, I just see a young MM...hardly anything of Kylies features.

Keira Knightley and Nathalie Portman.

Keira knightly has one of those faces that is immediately attractive yet I find her square jaw stops her from being pretty.
They do look alike in those pics though, but not so much in this pic?

Natalie Portman

She is classically beautiful...I first saw her with a shaven head (cant remember the film)she is  stunning even with no hair.
I also think they both resemble Winona Ryder.

V for Vendetta

Thank you Quill.

As they have both got older, I think it's hard to tell Linda Gray (Dallas actress) and Katherine Ross (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid star) apart.

Keira Knightly played one of Natalie Portman's look-alike guards on the first Star-Wars prequel. Their mothers said they had a hard time telling them apart when they were in makeup

Funny how one person (like the lovely Kiera Knightley for example) can have several dopplegangers. Strange!

WTF there's something's strange going down in Hollywood, the clones have arrived.

Spoooky!

Is it me....or does a pretty face lose appeal when you look at too many?

I like interesting faces rather than classically beautiful ones. I like a quirky face that comes alive in conversation and eyes that can hold you in a lock, and look into you.

I also really like nice forearms that show when a long-sleeved shirt is rolled up.... .

Haha, I was talking about this the other day with someone, how actors never look like models. When I see those Victoria's Secret models, they never look like real people to me; their faces have no character and their bodies look like clones.

Actors (at least the best ones) never look like that because their job is to play characters, so they do have to look like somebody

A really fascinating person isn't beautiful from all angles, but can be attractive and plain at the same time. I tend to be attracted to quirky looking men rather than square jawed model types.  That's not to say I don't appreciate beauty in a man, it's just that sometimes it's kind of boring.

Attractive is always more interesting than pretty.  

It's funny becasue on the days I think I look like shit a past partner might say "Ooooh you look really nice today!" and I'd say "But I've got a spot and my hair is in two plaits because it's well windy out there and this t-shirt is really old..?!"  
And when I thought I looked pretty well scrubbed up and kinda fantastic....Nada. Nowt. Zilch. Pffffff.

Clones indeed....Katy Perry and the other two girls look identical.

Sometimes someone can look absolutely perfect in photo's....in real life they leave you cold, and the reverse is even truer....the way someone moves, looks at you, how their eyes laugh, loads of things that don't add up to physical beauty can make a person really attractive.

I agree with Eddie too....I have always noticed that when I wear no makeup and leave my hair loose, oddly I get more smiles and nice comments, even now.

Course they could just think I am a harmless old bag lady.

Yes, a lot of competition there.

That's a really famous pic isn't it Quill.
Sophia Loren was asked if she was looking enviously at Jayne Mansfield breasts...not that she was short herself in that department.
She replied she was afraid they were going to pop out and expose everything, which back then would have been a huge scandal.

The expression on her face is priceless.

Yep, I'm pretty sure they already 'popped'. If you can see areola peekin' up, the game is up.

Yep....she was very naughty for those times.
Re Jayne Mansfield, it was widely reported that in the fatal car crash that saw her demise she was beheaded. I saw a clip where the cop who was on the scene said no such thing....her blonde wig had been dragged off, but her head remained intact.

I guess if she was dead, it mattered little to her. This clip has the undertaker's word that she was, in his words, "fully in tact" (at +/-136).

Because you can clearly see Mansfield's nipple!

I think Sophia had given up bothering at this point.

I watched that Quill...thanks, it was interesting.

And I get the sense that Jayne never started bothering.

She was a bit of a joke...like a caricature of Marilyn Monroe, but she had a lovely pretty face. I suppose she found her niche in showbiz and stuck to it.

She certainly seemed happy. At least she had mastered the blasé, oblivious look when she was on camera.

The war paint that goes hand in hand with dressing up to the nines, that's the bit they hate.

It's psychological and subconscious, eddie.

They know not to mess with us when we plaster it on, it ain't called WAR paint for nothing.

Hahahahaha that's a good point Jules

My OH told me so in plain language. Looking fab is not quite the same as looking approachable.

Jules wrote:My OH told me so in plain language. Looking fab is not quite the same as looking approachable.

I totally agree. It's been my observation in life that when women get dressed up and all sexy, they are not looking for admiration or love...they're looking for POWER.

Are they heck.....women (most of them anyway) just like to get dressed up and made up...it's not a power thing, it's part of the ritual of going out.

I don't only dress up to go out, I really like to look nice, so I always make the effort tbh, even if it's just t-shirt and shorts I razzle it up a little.

Haha...it's power, trust me.

We all like to go out. It's not where we are going, but how we play when we get there.

Do you think sex is power, Quill? That's not the first time you've said something like that.

Now why should I trust you to know more about women than I do Quill?
Being one myself (unlike yourself) I KNOW why women (the majority) like to dress up and wear make up....and sorry to dampen your enthusiasm to look for ulterior motives, but we do it to look and feel good about ourselves.

There can be side effects in looking so damn fabulous, but if it draws men to us thus giving us power in that way, that says more about the men than the women.

The knowledge is not limited to women, but to mankind.  So neither of us are gender-qualified experts.

You mention attraction of men, and that brings up sex.  Researchers have found that sexual attraction in men is direct and spontaneous...hence they are visual.  But for women, the attractor is to be desired:

Daniel Bergner wrote:Marta Meana brings up [one element of female sexuality], and which I think is very compelling, is this idea that the feeling of being desired is a very powerful one, a very electrical one. And I think at least at the fantasy level, that sense of being wanted, and being wanted beyond the man’s self-control is also really powerful.

This, the female sexuality, is more complex in that it necessarily involves the cognitive presence of an "other" person, who is needed to be the admirer.  Hence female porn takes the form of Harlequin novels, and not just pictures.  Female fantasy goes more by scripts, than simple visual queues.

This is probably an adaptive feature built into women for self-preservation, plus it dovetails with their need to attract a mate for procreation.  To accomplish their needs women become manipulative, in the sense that a scriptwriter becomes manipulative.  Women use their attractiveness.  But the goal is not just abstract attractiveness; to get it done, women must get "beyond the man’s self-control".  That's a need for power.  Men have the strength factor, but women need the attraction factor to really get the job done.  And by that, I mean POWER (manipulation of others).

So, a woman who dresses to the nines is looking for power.

Men are visual, so the experts say, but most intellgent men also like a woman to have brains and independence.

And, I don't care what anyone says, men appreciate a woman who makes an effort.

That's all on the conscious level. This is more basic psychology...on instincts and non-cognitive levels. Bergner is writing about “Women’s desire — its inherent range and innate power — [which he describes as] an underestimated and constrained force..."
