I actually sat down a watched an episode of Celebrity Circus last night and noticed that contestant and former male supermodel Antonio Sabato Jr. looks a lot like a certain guitar weilding pop dude. Yes, with his new haircut and model-ish poses, John Mayer is really starting to resemble Sabato.
The CityRag blog has had a couple posts about celebrity look-alikes, or Weak Twins as we call them here. Here are a few.
Here’s Nicolas Cage looking an awful lot like Gene Simmons:
And how about this one of Benicio Del Toro looking like a homeless version of Brat Pitt, but still totally sexy:
And lastly, here’s some shots of Ellen DeGeneres and Owen Wilson looking like clones:
I know a lot of you might say, “Tila is the weak twin?!” but LaToya was a media whore long before Tila was even born, so that makes her the strong twin. Plus, she’s a Jackson, so that’s like +50 points right there. Anyway, Tila seems to be looking a little LaToya-esque these days.
This is going to be a rather long post on the subject of weak twins because it concerns Leo DiCaprio, who happens to have more than one weak twin. In fact, Leo is like the gateway to a 6-degrees-of-weak-twin universe where every male star looks like a version of every other male star.
We’ll start in the present and work backwards. If you look at handsome male stars today, you might come across pics of Grey’s Anatomy star and Rebecca Gayheart spouse Eric Dane sporting a little facial hair and rocking a modern day DiCaprio look. While Dane is older and thus was first, he is still the weak twin because… well, I mean, it’s freakin Leonardo DiCaprio.
If we look back to Leo’s younger days, we might be reminded of indie actor Michael Pitt, star of The Dreamers and Headwig and the Angry Inch.
What’s so weird here is that Michael Pitt looks like a ton of different famous people. In fact a few years ago he played a Kurt Cobain type character in the Gus Van Sant film Last Days.
And on a related tangent… there have been reports that Mr. High School Musical, Zac Efron, will play Cobain in an upcoming film.
I’d strongly hesitate to call Trevor Moore, co-founder of The Whitest Kids U Know, a “weak” twin since he’s both funny and hot, but White Stripes frontman and guitar god Jack White was famous first, so that makes him the stronger twin. I first noticed Moore’s resemblance to White during the earliest promos for WKUK when it was on Fuse. In the promos, advertising the March 20th premiere of the series, Moore’s hair looked darker and he had a slight mustache, making him look quite a bit like White. Of course, now he’s rocking a brand of sexy all his own.
