He Doesn’t Look a Thing Like Jesus — Or Does He?

10/13/06, 11:07 am EST

The Killers, Jennifer ConnellyYou know that Killers song that goes, “He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus”? We can’t help wondering: Who DOES? On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 means “He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus” and 10 means “He actually IS Jesus,” who wins the celebrity Jesus-off? We had to know. So in a spirit of inquiry, and fueled by enough strawberry margaritas to kill a yeti, we went to the My Heritage site, which uses “face recognition” software to find celebrity resemblances. (We learned about it from John Mayer’s blog! Thanks, John! We forgive you for that “bubblegum tongue” song now!)

We scanned in some Jesus pictures, and the data is in. So who looks a thing like Jesus? We’re surprised as you will be . . .

JENNIFER CONNELLY!

It’s a 68 percent match. Sure, we see it: They have the same initials, they both have long black hair, and they both had sex with Don Johnson in The Hot Spot.

Others in the top ten: Joey Fatone (62 percent), William Shatner (60 percent), Amanda Peet (60 percent), Kanye West (58 percent), Andy Warhol (58 percent), Millard Fillmore, Juliette Lewis, Matthew McConaughey, Nick Cage and Marc Almond. That’s right, Amanda Peet. But does Fatone talk like a gentleman?

We also scanned in a recent photo of Brandon Flowers (avec ’stache). Who looks a thing like Brandon Flowers? Not Jesus, but Peter Sarsgaard (71 percent), followed by Topher Grace, Carson Daly, Gary Burghoff, Jimi Hendrix, Björn from ABBA, Justin Timberlake, Jayne Mansfield and Jon Bon Jovi.

Of course we had to check out our own celebrity look-alikes, which was a dumb idea. Our number one match? Ashlee Simpson. We find this totally depressing. But it does explain why we like to la la. And Jennifer Connelly? Not only did you die for our sins — but we’ll burn down the highway skyline with you any time.

Jennifer Connelly is Hot as Balls.

Rudy Pilfer | 10/13/2006, 11:58 am EST

My balls are way hotter than Jen.

SATAN | 10/13/2006, 12:06 pm EST

BONO DOESN’T LOOK A THING LIKE JESUS, BUT HE THINKS HE IS JESUS. SO, THAT PUTS HIM AT A 5.

SATAN | 10/13/2006, 12:11 pm EST

I have a small pecker.

Nate | 10/13/2006, 12:19 pm EST

I think anybody who lets their hair and beard grow long looks a thing like jesus, how about Johnny Damon in 2004?

Aaron D. | 10/13/2006, 12:21 pm EST

Duh, the dude from Nickelback

SATAN | 10/13/2006, 12:25 pm EST

NEXT TIME PUT CAPS LOCK ON WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO IMPERSONATE ME, PUNY MORTAL!!! AH HA HA HA!

DrJ | 10/13/2006, 12:35 pm EST

I’d gladly accept Jennifer Connelly as my personal savior.

> | 10/13/2006, 12:36 pm EST

Do we really know what Jesus looks like?

SATAN | 10/13/2006, 12:40 pm EST

MY MOM IS A DIRTY SLUT.

What is RS’s deal with John Mayer? You’re only now “forgiving him for that bubblegum tounge song”? As if he did you wrong by composing it. That song wasn’t that bad, in fact I really like it. He consistently does/says/finds cool stuff like this website for example, yet never gets props. Well I for one think he’s the man, and you owe him more for his discovery of that sweet site. John Mayer rules!

Axl | 10/13/2006, 12:54 pm EST

Slash is Jesus!

Jesus is just all right with me, to quote the Doobies. And so is Jennifer Connelly.

MUCH BETTER!!!

We should all look like Jesus

Bill Reese | 10/13/2006, 3:25 pm EST

Former Red Sox outfielder Johnny Damon would have scored a 6 out of a possible 10. Now he looks like he smokes dicks like Snoop Dogg smokes blunts.

David | 10/13/2006, 3:46 pm EST

I once I had a dream that I was walking through the desert when suddenly I came upon a stone courtyard where Jesus was serving everyone who came by water. He and I started walking through his garden and talking but when I looked at him closely, I realized that he wasn’t Jesus Christ at all but actually Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains with a beard. J.C. as J.C. (9 out of 10)

me | 10/13/2006, 6:12 pm EST

first of all: how moronic, secondly: heaven forbid you actually do something with your time that actually makes a difference. You people are too busy trying to figure out which celebrity looks like the savior of mankind (whose looks you get from paintings of people who-”gasp” had never seen him) I don’t know how old you people are but you sound like a bunch of 12 year olds with too much free time. I sincerely hope none of you are old enough to, or have already, procreated. (By the way, yes, I do realize that not everyone views Jesus Christ as their savior, but what happened to having respect for people who do? The comment about both He and Jennifer Connelly having sex with Don Johnson was appalling. Ya’ll really need to learn some manners.)

SATAN | 10/13/2006, 6:14 pm EST

I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD REALIZE THAT JESUS WAS A BLACK MAN. CAN YOU STILL ACCEPT HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR, “ME”?

The Ox | 10/13/2006, 6:20 pm EST

The only person I’ve seen in a dream specifically was Jerry Garcia. He signed a picture I made of him. He didn’t speak though, he just had this great look in his eyes.

The Ox | 10/13/2006, 6:21 pm EST

Also, I’m a believer… I’m not really offended, I just think the whole thing was a bit pointless. Why make this when you could be telling us more about the new Shins album?!

Ronald | 10/13/2006, 6:34 pm EST

Trent Reznor in The Perfect Drug video looks like the occidental version of Christ, and he looks as deranged as he was, if jesus really existed…

B.J. | 10/13/2006, 8:56 pm EST

Right…….Rudy you and Sanchez can discuss that amoungst yourselves as for me I think it is ironic that Kanye West came up on the Jesus scan like Bono he thinks he is but he’s just another wacked egomaniac

Matt2.0 | 10/13/2006, 11:18 pm EST

Mark Morton from Lamb of God, according to the band title he is Jesus so I give him a 9.5 out 1.0

Chris Meyer | 10/13/2006, 11:18 pm EST

Jim Morrison of the Doors…exact match.

Chris Meyer | 10/13/2006, 11:19 pm EST

Or the dude.

Well, Dave was supposed to look like Jesus. That was back in the 70s. I don’t know Dave. He did complain some time ago around 2002 that Mormons were hassling him. But there’s a guy next to me on my right who is sort of waering a Dave uniform, and works at a Dave’s resaturant maybe.
There’s something wrong with my eyes right now though. The line I wrote was, What’s happening. He says his place is called Woks Happening. But I think it’s Wokura Street, Mitcham, where they had brown rolls royce parked with the plate reading ARI BREWSTER, without the Brewster. Being fair game is not as bad as you think. You get forced to meet people you don’t want to or ever did, for example. They do things like publish your material without your consent. They follow you around, and when you go to a picture theatre won’t stop it until you go to a pub.
They’re not the only ones.
The only thing I can tell you is that it kinda feels like that coup I mentioned which was done in the 80s by a local TV station, read network has transformed this place into the Chinese people’s republic of South Australia. But Dave isn’t Jesus. True he used to tell people he was because of the band Black Sabbath and you know a link back to the CCCP Moscow branch and the world of academia. I don’t know. Maybe I have heard one of these guy’s songs on Life FM, that Lutheran radio station, where George Martin showed up that day, when the new pub was opened called The Bees Knees.
Sorry about this Jann S Wenner. I have no idea really what it means to be OT. Fair game yes, and OK Bhagawan Soaham was “very unpopular” in Africa when he lived there. They opened clothes shops using his business name, and believe me he don’t look a thing like Jesus mainly because that’s the olde Hindu religion.
Still, this library is where a small bomb went off years ago and Warner did a movie then about a pub nearby and now the shop where the bomb went off, is gone and a new one is here. And as this is heaven a white van just drove by. But you don’t have a copy of that si you wouldn’t know what Im writing about. Warner does, and they still don’t know what I’m talking about. Has to do with “word clearer” I guess.

marie | 10/14/2006, 1:29 pm EST

You guys should try John Frusciante of the Chili Peppers, now theres about a 9 for ya.

Carrie | 10/14/2006, 6:33 pm EST

Bono thinks he’s God, does that count?

Jaymz | 10/15/2006, 6:35 pm EST

singer from Nickelback. definitely. a cross between Jesus, a surfer and the Paddle Pop Lion.

Sully7 | 10/15/2006, 7:33 pm EST

@ Sanchez:
i guess shes hot if u like Jesus. how wierd would that be during sex with her… OH JESUS! hahahahhahah

Rolling Stone Sucks | 10/15/2006, 8:14 pm EST

To completely change the subject, the new Killers album rocks. I know the nitwits at Rolling Stone panned it, but that just made me want to run right out and buy it all the more, because if Rolling Stone says it sucks, it must be brilliant.

truant | 10/16/2006, 1:42 am EST

Eddie Vedder has always been doing the Jesus thing… right down to the self-loathing for man’s sins jive. I think Jesus had a hand in Ed Vedder sounding exactly like Mr. Ed the horse, too.

JoMe | 10/21/2006, 9:54 pm EST

I agree with Marie, John Frusciante has uncanny resemblance to Jesus.

jen | 1/3/2007, 1:21 am EST

how do any of you know what jesus looks like? dumbasses
