Which celebrity are you?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

That's good, cause that means you're versatile. :oops:

You're not gonna believe this.. but apparently.. :eek: the celebrity I look the most like.. is Keanu Reeves! Awesome, duuuude.

Me sis apparently looks like Sandra Bullock... dunno if I agree about that.. and me mum like Helena Bonham Carter... well, they've sorta got the same eyes.

One of my mates apparently look like Joe Kocker, :lol: even tho he's half south-asian, Sri Lanka to be accurate.

And you were in Tremors, which was ace.

[edit] Ritchie Valens? I don't even know who that is.

*scrolls forward*

Keira Knightley at 44% - Woohoo! :D :D :D

[edit][edit] So I used this pic of me from here:

And then I got curious as to what would happen if I used this pic:

Image

The results were surprising, to say the least. He got Alec Guinness, Patrick Stewart, Matt LeBlanc, Nicholas Cage, Placido Domingo and Rowan Atkinson.

Hmmm...I wonder if it would recognise a picture of, say, Rowan Atkinson correctly...

[edit][edit][edit]

Image

This returned Rowan Atkinson at 70% in the first guess, and even returned a pic of him wearing a police uniform - the Alastair McGowan one was from Four Weddings and he was wearing his vicar's unifrom, which is interesting. It also returned Ewan McGregor and Paul McCartney though.

[edit][edit][edit][edit]

Ha, this returns no matches!

I'm Vincenzo Bellini, apparantly. And not even a photo - an oil painting. Get in.

Who's Vincenzo Bellini?
Grrr. Argh.

argh, could only find a picture of me looking a little wasted, however it was good enough to be a 60% match to an actor called Kevin Anderson (whom i've never heard of)...

[edit]
a less drunk (but much more cheesey and a silly hat) picture of me gives a 44% match to Russel Crowe, 41% match to Brad Pit and a 40% to Ehud Barak (apparently a former Prime Minster of Israel!)!!

Jesus... This thing is funny! :D I'm gonna try Arrafat now.

EDIT: Weird, I tried a really close head-shot, wich gives nothing. I think that's what happened to the Tom Cruise shot too.

I tried a bit more zoomed out picture, and it does indeed give a 71% probability, that yes this is Arrafat. However, there's a 60% probability that this is James Brown or Jimmy Carter! :D

EDIT2: Tried again! 66% probability that it is Deforest Kelley! :eek:

I had to have a snag at that Tom Cruise meself too, so I smacked it up, and waddayaknow, the photo I found found some matches. For males it is a 48% match for Jim Carrey, and a 53% for Mel Gibson. Interestingly enough... the biggest similarity was with a female... JENNIFER ANNISTON, 65%.

To top it off, I made a manual cut, and that finnally gave a 75% probability for Tom Cruise. :)

Weird. I tried this pic:

Image

And it gave Sandra Bullock as the closest match, but none of the other matches were Tom Cruise, they just all happened to be looking to the left on their picture.

I don't think this software is as clever as it makes out to be.

I look most like Ninet Tayeb (60%), a very pretty lady, and also an Israeli pop-singer. :)

Also look like Emma Watson (59%) from Harry Potter, Judy Garland (57%) and Hilary Swank (49%).

And for the men: Samuel L Jackson, Bill Gates, and Eduard Shevardnadze, former president of Georgia...

But what a cool (and tall) black actor has in common with a petite white girl I don't really understand yet.

This thing is pretty accurate.
