I tried two photos that were taken at the same time, same head angle, same facial expression. The only difference it that the first was glasses-on and the second was glasses off. The first gave me Daniel Radcliffe as my closest match. The highest match for the second was Kirsten Dunst. None of the celebrities from the first photo were repeated with the second, and none of them look a bit like me. Their face match program is bollocks if you ask me.

Hey! I’m a [dead ringer](http://www.myheritagefiles.com/I/storage/site1/files/00/16/31/001631_43694563a84474tafsh293.JPG) for Heath Ledger! Er, more or less. Still, that’s what I’m going to tell everyone. Personally I think Kris Kristofferson is closer.  
[/QUOTE]

I think the Heath Ledger one is a pretty good match. It’s the eyes and nose.

My best match was someone named Victoria Abril (Never heard of her), followed by Susan Sarandon, Stacy Ferguson, Emmy Rossum, Sarit Hadad, Mae West, Gwyneth Paltrow, and finally…Golda Meir! Weird. I have never heard of Victoria Abril, Emmy Rossum, or Sarit Hadad.

Emmy Rossum was in _Phantom of the Opera_, I think.

**twicks** , I wouldn’t worry about it. Apparently all my Swiss ancestors were actually Asian women. I don’t think the results have much to do with anything resembling reality.

Oh, what the hell, it’s Thanksgiving. If you can’t tell the truth now, then when?

Twickster, this won’t make your day, but it’s making mine. I have had a crush on you since I came to this site. You are smart, funny, and when you want to be sexy and sardonic. One of the great mysteries to me is that you are alone. I better shut up now, but from a hetero guy, nobody with a Y chromosome would ever think you were a guy.

Signed,

Smitten

So I ran 3 photos, and the first one came up as a match with Angelina Jolie at 90% :eek:. I’m pretty sure I don’t look like Angelina. I am not Asian, but the second 2 photos came up with my top matches as Asian women. Calista Flockhart showed up as a match for all of my photos. I agree with **Tremorviolet** that it seems to mostly match photos with the same pose/facial expression. Either way, I’m flattered!

If you think I’m posting the results for me that included **BOB FRIGGIN’ DYLAN** , you’ve all got another think coming.

Bob Dylan.

Spanish actress; she’s worked a lot in French movies and was in several Almodóvares. You’re welcome - and I’m happy to be able to identify someone! 90% of the people who came up leave me scratching my head.

I got the idea to enter a picture of a celebrity into that thing, and it sort of works. Apparently Jennifer Aniston looks as much as herself as she does Camilla Belle.  
On the other hand it wouldn’t recognize Marilyn Mansons picture as a face at all, for some reason. 😃

**brownie55** – I’d throw in a dozen of the blushing smiley, but that whole “blow job” confusion might mix the message a bit.

Thanks very, very much for making my day!
