Celebrity look-alike

So I went to that celebrity face recognition site that all the cool kids are talking about. I thought it sounded kind of fun, and it was. I submitted four pictures.

The one shown at left was unrecognizable as a face. The one with the tin foil hat (here) was matched to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Keanu Reeves, Al Gore, Yoko Ono, and Rosa Luxembourg. This fairly recent ID photo was matched to Bruce Lee, Steven Spielberg, and Malcolm X. The fluffy haircut photo I took the other day? Noam Chomsky, Harvey Keitel, and Elvis Costello. Must be the glasses. And I forget which two of the three were matched to Wim Wenders. I guess that this particular face recognition match algorithm is set up to find people to whom you look like you could be related. And I am related to some male humans, so it hasn't gone all that far afield.

My first pic was Adrian Brody. It's my nose. It really is. All the other stars it picked were big nosed and skinny-faced.

The Adrian Brody traumatized me so much I can't remember who the other faces were, just their noses.

I really do look like Adrian Brody. lol
