People I Apparently Look Like

I have a permanently confused-looking face and neutral features. For that reason, I get likened to a great many people. The following are five examples of people who I have been likened to physically. However, this list is no where near exhaustive. Added to this list could be Will Arnett, Robert De Niro (as an old geezer), and "if Meat Loaf slimmed down a bit, he'd look like you". Meat. Loaf.

5. Ewan McGregor*
Handsome 90's guy [source]
*He is a handsome guy, but this is not the boon it seems. The actual quote was that I looked like "a monstrous version of Ewan McGregor" by a drunk, horny girl in an Edinburgh club. One of my chorus of aunts lives in Crieff, where he is from, and has seen him shopping a few times. She says that he looks like I do, although she says he is at most 5'8, so I suppose I could be a monstrous, out-of-shape brother of his.

4. Liam Neeson*
Possibly drunk? good man. [source]
*Again, a seemingly positive likeness, but again we have to look to context. I worked in a bar and was constantly told that I looked like a young Liam Neeson by women in their 40s who still thought that skin-tight leather pants was a good idea (on them, it definitely wasn't). However, he's a good looking guy (or at least was) and we're roughly the same size, have the same glazed look, features, and indecipherable accent. In conclusion, this means I look like both of the Jedis in Star Wars Episode one? Cool!

3. Greta Gerwig

A weird one. In the week or so a couple of friends have both pointed out the similarity between me and her. These friends, as far as I'm aware, don't know each other. I suppose our broad shoulders, heavy jawline, and hair are similar. Also, the picture above looks frighteningly like my driver's license photo, taken of me aged 17, with a thick, womanly pelt of hair. Could be worse, I suppose, as she's interestingly pretty.

I think I've already mentioned this likeness, and don't really want to comment any further. He's a funny guy, not a handsome guy.

1. Stuart Clark
Where is he looking? what's on his mind? he's so deep. [source]
 Unarguably the best likeness of me. He was a pretty solid cricketer in his day, and won a couple of man of the series awards in his short time as a test  cricketer. We do look a lot alike, particularly when my hair is short, and most particularly in video, as we have the same awkward grace of a big bloke. Coincidentally, we went to the same university. Cool.(Side Note: I wish more people knew who he was).

In conclusion, you may ask, 'how can he look like that many people? Get out of here' For once, I have no answer, and no further comments.
