I tried that a bit ago, but it didn't return anyone for me, so I didn't link it. Glad it worked for you. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

I uploaded a picture of me holding my little chihuahua, Chico.
It recognized that the picture had two faces, and is telling me that Chico looks like David Beckham (the third result)!
It says I look like a guy name Roald Dahl, and while he's a lot older than me, we do have a lot of simularities in our face, mainly the smile. Switching it to gender "all", it says I look even more like some lady named Kajol, and we do have the same eye structure, similar nose, and similar smile. Interesting. Maybe I will try other pictures.
Go read James and the Giant Peach, or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory . . . or even better, some of his short stories for adults, he's already delightfully gruesome and bizarre when writing for children, wait until you see what he wrote for adults.

Okay, since y'all were getting results, I went back and tried it three more times, with different pictures. All three were pictures of my boyfriend and me. The first two it recognized him as a face but didn't pick up me at all! Both were clear, facing the camera shots, although one of them my hair was covering one eye, so that could explain it. Still, I feel invisible. The third one it found us both.
I came up as, in order, Kate Winslet, Winona Ryder, Niyet Tayeb, Carlos Moya, Christian Slater, Lindsey Lohan, Kajol, Maria Montessori, Amrita Rao, and Barbara Stanwyck.
He came up as Clark Gable, Bashar al-Assad, Gillian Anderson, Carlos Santana, Audrey Tautou, Jeff Buckley, Christopher Reeve, Jim Carrey, Walter Gropius, and John Logie-Baird. The last time. I didn't write down/remember all the ones from the first two, but Christopher Reeve showed up in all of them. I think Natalie Portman was in there, too.

I put in a picture of my wife when she was holding up the copy of Pride and Prejudice she got for Christmas last year, so the program ran on her face and Colin Firth's. Colin's #1 match: Mother Theresa.

Tried another one, of just me. Kate Winslet was top again, at 70%, followed by Zayed Khan, Mariah Carey, Julia Roberts, Aaliyah, Demi Moore, Halle Berry, Kevin Mitnick, Eva Peron, and Isabella Rossellini, at 57%, who I've always thought was completely gorgeous.
I'm done now, I think. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

Your last match was 57%? That was my first (Christina Ricci). I think my last was Nicole Kidman at 38%.

Yeah, my first three or so were all 70%. Halle Berry was 68%, and the picture they put up of her really did resemble the picture I had submitted, particularly in the nose and cheeks.
I'm amused at how many people of other ethnicities came up both times. . . I've often had people think I look "exotic" and tried to figure out my heritage. I'm German and English/Welsh, as straight white as they come, but apparently my features are similar to many people of more diverse ancestory. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

I ran a picture of this dude I used to work with who is just about as Aryan as anyone who ever invaded Poland. Blonde, blue eyes, pale skin, thin lips and nose, all that. And he came up about a 60% match with Tupac Shakur. So I don't know how much I'd start trusting your results. Posts: 2804 | Registered: May 2003

In my first try, there is apparently a gap between two trees that bears a stunning resemblance to Ben Affleck.

Oh, apparently I resemble both Hugo Weaving and Laurence Fishburne. I guess that explains why I've always considered myself to be a virus that I must exterminate.

I've now gotten Anna Lindh, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Steven Soderbergh.
I wan't feeling too happy about that until I realized that all three of us are wearing similar glasses. That's going to be my official reason for why the system picked those particular people. Yup.

I just did another picture of me, and got Danny Elfman. Again, same glasses. What these people have devised is actually a startlingly accurate glasses recognition program.

I did that thing...it told me Jim Morrison more often than any. Can't say I'm not pleased with that. XD We do have some of the same jaw, lip and cheek structure. I think it said I look like Charlize Theron, too. Hm, I didn't quite see the resemblance.

I matched most with Bill Gates, but my favorites were Orlando Bloom, Marvin Gaye and Hamid Karzai.

I did two different photos. The first one (from my wedding) returned Joni Mitchell, Jane Fonda, Shahid Kapoor (who?), Emma Watson, Kevin Costner, Shania Twain, Mother Theresa, Shirley McClain, Kiera Knightly, and Nadia Comaneci.
The second said I look like Hilary Swank, Ninet Tayeb, Kiera again, Angelina Jolie, Francis Bacon (one UGLY mug), Brian Jones (who?), Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Pavel Nedved (huh?), and Emma Watson
Weird. Most people tell me I look like Winona Ryder or Drew Barrymore.

On most days I have a remarkable resemblence to myself. Other days, however, I look like someone completely different.

OK this is fun. I just did my beautiful blond daughter at age one and from this Halloween at almost 3 years old. The 1 yr pic returned Robert Redford, Michael Phelps, and Jack Lemon first but further down the list she got Drew Barrymore and Condoleeza Rice (???).
Her recent pic produced Malcolm McDowell (they had a similar mouth open face), Yngwie J. Malmsteen (both with bangs in the face), and Leo DiCaprio (whom she does resemble a little bit) but further down the list, there are some weird ones like Dustin Hoffman, Liza Minelli and James A. Garfield!
Next I will do my hubby. Posts: 1319 | Registered: Jul 2005

El Jay, have you considered that it isn't that you look like their ethnicities, but that they are, at least partly, your ethnicity? Halle Berry's mother is as white as they come. Posts: 9871 | Registered: Aug 2001

I did consider that, yes, Kayla, but it doesn't account for over half of the results on each of my pictures being people of obviously different ethnicities than me.
The things that looked the most similar to me in most of the pictures were lips & nose. *shrug*

Apparently, the original teacup killer, Richard B. Riddick, does not have a face. No faces have been detected in any of the pictures of him I've tried.
Mr. Tumnus looks like Bernard Herrmann, Sam Raimi, George Sand, Hedy Lamarr, and Sandra Bullock.

OK my hubby looks like Daved Brin (he really does but with less hair), Patrick Stewart (hubba hubba), Joschka Fischer, Thomas Edison (he certainly has the same cheeks and smile lines-wow!), Van Morrison, Franz Marc, Ivan Lendl, Groucho Marx, Miguel Indurain (ugh, no), and Kevin Costner. He was stoked about looking like Patrick Stewart.
Our wedding photo has him looking like Roman Polanksi, Phil Collins (faily accurate there), Andre Agassi, Robert Wilhelm Bunsen, Kevin Smith (Silent Bob), Ruud van Nistelrooy, Mother Theresa, Cat Stevens, David Beckham, Carl Nielsen.
I think he looks liek thhe Rock or Vin Diesel.

Yay I'm glad you guys find it so fun! I actually look like all my people, and I submitted about 10 pictures and those were the ones that came up almost every time. I can easily identify why it picked each one for me, so I thought it was pretty accurate... until y'all started putting dogs and trees in there
Noemon- try a picture without glasses!! ...or trees!

Noemon, thanks! I got Greta Garbo and someone namesd Celina Jaitley, whoever that is. I do see the resemblance in facial structure, and I'm glad they're both pretty. You don't want to know who my third person was. Posts: 6246 | Registered: Aug 2004

I got Russell Crowe, Rod Stewart, Mark Hamill (WOOHOO! I look like Luke Skywalker! <Not really>) and... Leonardo DeCaprio!
(On my second picture, I got Johnny Depp and Gary Cooper. Faces commong to both pictures, Benicio Del Toro and Aleksander Kwasniewski. I also, apparently, look a little like Avril Lavigne...Boy. I'm pretty.)

There is a little info button you can click on on each celebrity photo that will give you information about who they are, which is a good thing for me, since I'm not recognizing all that many of these people.
So...who was the third one?

So first I uploaded this picture. After several time out errors, if finally said the person on the left was George Martin, Renee Zellweger, Kevin Bacon, and George Bush... And the person on the right was Antonio Meucci (?), Jason Biggs (?), Barack Obama (?).
Then I uploaded this picture, and several of King Kong. It couldn't find any faces, which wasn't as fun as I was hoping.
Then I uploaded this one and it said Patrick Stewart 69%, Grace Hopper (?), Mubarak (?), and another long list of people I didn't know until it finally landed on Ariel Sharon...
Well, it wasn't as fun as I hoped.

I uploaded this picture and I got Halle Berry and Dennis Quaid as my top two results. The girl in the picture got a bunch of people who I don't know. I don't think I really look like Halle Berry or Dennis Quaid at all . One of the later ones I got was Ewan Mcgregor and in the picture they showed of him he looked alot like me.

I uploaded one of me, KPC, and Ketchup Princess. The matches on Emma and me looked nothing like us (at least until I switched mine to female.) But Jeff's looks a lot like him! Who knew? Saif Ali Khan!
