celebs who look like historical figures

notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at current
famous faces that bear a striking
resemblance to figures whether
well-known or not from bygone eras
number 10 Mark Zuckerberg King Philip
the fourth ones a feared and reviled
monarch at the apex of power controlling
everything in his kingdom with ruthless
efficiency the other was the king of
Spain and Portugal in the 17th century
seriously though the facial similarity
here is pretty intense right the
founding father of Facebook does bear a
striking resemblance to the Spanish
royal complete with POW teenis and the
resemblance isn’t just skin deep
Philip was known as the planet King due
to is get this quote need to project
power and authority over both Spaniards
and foreigners alike sound like anybody
you know whose inescapable social
networking platform is used by about Oh
two billion people yeah number nine
Stephen Fry Oscar Wilde in their
respective youths Oscar Wilde and
Stephen Fry bore a striking resemblance
to one another
clearly this similarity was not lost on
the casting Department of the film Wilde
as the English actor comedian and
presenter brought the late writer to
cinematic life by playing him in the
1997 film suffice it to say the
performance was incredibly well met
sadly the celebrated and incendiary
Irish playwright and poet died at the
age of 46 so will sadly never know what
he would have looked like in his later
years but it’s not hard to imagine that
his looks would have evolved similarly
to fries number 8 Christopher Walken
arthur schopenhauer young Sheldon nope
young Schopenhauer the German
philosopher notable for his bracingly
pessimistic take on the nature of
reality is also known as the artists
philosopher which makes perfect sense
for our purposes because the youthful
Brainiac does bear quite a strong
resemblance to everybody’s favorite
actor who has inspired many bad
impressions like this one just look at
their eyes similarly burning with
passion
and the to share an existential affinity
as well Schopenhauer famously said quote
life swings like a pendulum backward and
forward between pain and boredom or as
mr. Walken phrases it whoa cow bell
number seven
Tommy Lee Jones President Andrew Johnson
how this celebrated actor never managed
to play President Andrew Johnson is
totally beyond us oh maybe it’s because
Johnson isn’t exactly the best candidate
for a biopic unless it was intended as
an inherently critical one the Vice
President when Abraham Lincoln was
assassinated
Johnson was drunk during his own
inaugural address was impeached and is
widely considered one of the worst
leaders in the history of the United
States be that as it may the gruff but
widely respected Tommy Lee Jones feels
like a perfect casting choice at least
physically speaking from forehead to
eyes to nose to mouth through the chin
these two share pretty much every facial
feature in common
number six George Carlin Charles Darwin
once considered to be one of the
greatest comedians to ever take the
stage the other is a scientific Colossus
the most influential naturalist to ever
live and bringer of the theory of
evolution apart from big legacies they
don’t really share much in common that
is until you look at portraits of the
two of them side by side yes you could
dismiss this as the generic similarities
of appearance between any two bearded
bald-headed aging white men but hey
there’s more to it than that it’s the
nose the cheekbones the shape of the
head could George Carlin have evolved
from Charles Darwin number five Bruce
Willis General Douglas MacArthur an
action star known for playing grim and
gritty often sarcastic heroes Bruce
Willis sure feels like the right man to
play the tough as nails legendary
American general should the need ever
arise
given that Willis grew up in a military
family and is a big supporter of the
troops it’s not hard to imagine that
he’d be game for it but let’s get down
to why he’d be such a good fit
aesthetically speaking MacArthur looks
like he could be Willis’s father they
have the same small steely eyes and
similarly shaped thin angular noses they
also share a similarly strong jawline
and ears that curve outwards ever so
slightly number four
Alec Baldwin president Millard Fillmore
another Hollywood actor with a lengthy
resume another candidate to play the
role of a lesser-known President of the
United States of America born January
7th 1800 Millard Fillmore was the 13th
President of the United States leading
the country from 1850 to 1853 and was
the last president to do so as a member
of the now long defunct Whig party and
serving as his modern-day doppelganger
we have mr. Alec Baldwin himself when
you look at these two side-by-side the
resemblance is downright uncanny it
might be time to take another look at
the Baldwin family tree number three
Adams Shulman William Shakespeare this
actor and producer is best known for his
work on television series like American
Dreams and TV movies like the Dukes of
Hazzard the beginning we personally
think he should be picking up a plume
and trying his hand at writing though
because he is a dead ringer for William
Shakespeare even without the fancy
callers
there’s something about Shulman’s eyes
nose and the long facial shape that
gives him an uncanny resemblance to the
Bard
however the similarities don’t stop
there Shulman is married to actress Anne
Hathaway and Shakespeare’s wife’s name
was also an Hathaway whoa
number two Rupert Grint Sir David Wilkie
we think it’s time you fess up good sir
either you’re a 19th century Scottish
painter with a knack for painting
portraits among other things or you’re a
21st century English actor and producer
best known for your work in the Harry
Potter franchise either way you’re
clearly a time traveler who’s decided to
lead two totally different but
successful lives separated by roughly
200 years time in order to avoid
suspicion yes the often tousle ginger
hair does go a long way in making this
comparison work but Rupert Grint and Sir
David Wilkie also have shockingly
similar faces number one Jack Black Paul
Revere it’s hard to imagine what it
would be like if silversmith and Patriot
Paul Revere were to sit down to share a
beer with funny man Jack Black but
whichever time period they agreed to do
it in we assumed they’d be mistaken for
brothers by all those who saw them with
similarly round faces comparable builds
and rather boyish features the two men
are indeed two of a kind if only in
appearance Revere is famous for his
late-night horseback ride to warn the
colonial militia about the advancing
British forces whereas Jack Black is
known for
his comedic acting chops a biopic about
the former starring the latter stranger
things have happened
