You 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.
