Is it just me or does Jake Sully really look like Patrick Mahomes? ---

> [@SuntanLotion](#): > > I’ve not heard of Jake. Jake Sully is the main character in the two Avatar films, played by actor Charlie Hunnam. This is the character (which is, in case it isn’t clear, is CGI-generated, based on Hunnam’s live-action motion capture): [![](https://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/articles/Avatar2020Main.jpg) ](https://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/articles/Avatar2020Main.jpg) This is the actor: [![](https://prd-rteditorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/11085244/charlie-hunnam-shantaram-motorcycle-600.jpeg) ](https://prd-rteditorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/11085244/charlie-hunnam-shantaram-motorcycle-600.jpeg) This is Patrick Mahomes: [![](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_12_desktop/chiefs/iwmsg6lhulvntsg327gk) ](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_12_desktop/chiefs/iwmsg6lhulvntsg327gk) I don’t see a resemblance, but then, I _do_ see resemblances between people that others (like my wife) disagree look alike at all. ---

I don’t think so. No resemblance at all. ---

I couldn’t figure out how to post photos. It’s the Avatar, not the actor, that reminds me of Mahomes, but it looks like I’m alone.
