Do you look like a celeb?

http://www.myheritage.com/celebrity-face-recognition

This has proved to be a bit of fun. Upload a photo and it compares it to a

Which celebrity do you and your pals most look like?

You have to sign up (bad times) but it only takes a minute or so (good times).

I apparently most resemble Burt Lancaster, although Dalai Lama and Maria Sharapova also pop up in the list...

Enjoy

HAHA This was fun!
The first image was Evangeline Lilly!


Which, apart from the long dark wavy hair and the sultry looks, is almost spot on.....

Then it said Beyonce Knowles,
so I'm feeling all flattered and such.

Then it says Hilary Rodham Clinton.

But wait.....I picked myself up from that, and it came up with:
Kristen Bell,

Annette Bening,

Jennifer Love Hewitt


and Kate Beckinsale.


So all in all, I guess it's pretty accurate.

I did this a while back, it said I look like Jack Nicholson.

I was quite pleased with that, but then it showed me the pic... it's "About Schmidt", and it's not very flattering to me :(

Well apparently I have sort of a baby face....for being almost 30 I guess thats great!

My first match was Dakota Fanning 73%



then it said Natalia Vodianova 64% who I guess is a Russian Super Model so that's not too shabby.



But then i'm back to baby faces with Alexis Blidel 61%



and then it said Daveigh Chase (another baby face) 61%



So I guess I have a young lookin face...=P

The picture on your profile is you?! Wow! I could have sworn it was STEPHEN FRY!

I got Jeremy Northam (73%), Frank Sinatra, George Clooney (skip a few :P) and Orlando Bloom.

However, I tried this on a picture of Matt Bellamy, and Matt Bellamy himself was fifth on the list, with about 60%.

Hmmm slightly unnerving...
Denise Richards (78%), Audrey Hepburn (72%), Aishwariya Rai (68%) and only after those do I get to the men: Mel Gibson, Eddie Murphy, Errol Flynn (all 63%).
Tried it with another photo and I got Ashley Olsen

Heh. My girlfriend usually comes up with women (Natalie Portman usually features (I'm not smug, honest)), but ALWAYS one guy - Nikolai Gogul (1809-1852). Hmm.

I think that is an amazing list for a guy to have (although I can't see where Mira Sorvino fits into it :s)!

I was trying many pictures... and the first-results for each of them were :

Mike Myers
Paul Walker
Frank Lampard
Jarno Trulli
Carl Lewis
(The last result for the same pic was
Cristiano Ronaldo! )
Michael Johnson
Barry Pepper
Rubens Barrichello

For a picture in which i had a sleeeepy look... i got
Albert Einstein


I tried my profile picture... and..


I guess this site looks more into the face-orientation and expression than features... but yeah this is quicker than our uni face recognition projects which run for an hour

OK, so I put alot of fake stuff in at registering, and I put up Some people from Roller Coaster Tycoon. Here's what they got. (First on list)

Kid/Male 1: Vin Diesel
Teenager/Male: Scarlett Johansson

Also, those are the only people it can see, despite there being 5 people being aimed at, and other people in the background who's faces you can clearly see.

Heh, I tried a picture of my girlfriend and it got her, and also a tiny portion of a shirt hanging up in the background, that apparently looks like Dylan Thomas.

I will be wearing that shirt more often. :D

Aw, but don't forget, no matter what Saff says, it can't be 100% accurate as Danfish tried a picture of Matt Bellamy and he got 60% like himself.
You could always try another picture :)
