“God help you if you are an ugly girl, ‘course too pretty is also your doom, ’cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.” ~Ani Difranco
I have extremely poor face recognition skills with people I don’t know well. This includes people on the big screen. I didn’t always know this about myself, and I once made a bet for $100 while watching Chasing Amy that the actress was Renee Zellweger:
I know now that it was Joey Lauren Adams:
Here’s another. I’ve been talking about wanting to see Lars and the Real Girl since I saw the trailer. Then last week I watched a documentary on men who own real dolls and that further stoked my interest. (The documentary is called Guys and Dolls. I highly recommend it.)
I was especially excited about Lars and the Real Girl since David Arquette is in it, and I like him. So, I’ve been talking about this for awhile and eventually was told it’s not David Arquette. I argued…but didn’t make any bets. Turns out it’s Ryan Gosling:
I guess he doesn’t look so much like David Arquette:
So, I’m starting to realize it’s my brain that’s the problem.
Here’s another. Ray Stevenson (Titus Pullo from Rome):
He looks a bit like Henry Rollins:
No? Ok, well, I’m pretty sure Helen Hunt, LeeLee Sobieski, and Blake Lively look alike. If I had to cast a family, I’d pick these women. And I’d throw Chloe Sevigny in for good measure.
Helen Hunt, b. 1963
LeeLee Sobieski, b. 1981
Blake Lively, b. 1987
Chloe Sevigny, b. 1974
Yes. They totally look alike. Don’t they?
