Does Your Avatar Look Like a Well Known Person?

[Helen Zenovka]

I was looking at my avatar's appearance, which hasn't changed much for a long time, and it suddenly struck me that she's almost a lookalike for Julia Gillard, a former Prime Minister of Australia.  Both are redheads, wear glasses, have similarly shaped features and even have the same hairstyle.  I'm not saying she's absolutely identical (for one thing, my avatar is supposed to be a good bit younger than Ms Gillard), but I found the similarity rather striking.  All totally coincidental.  I wasn't really planning on replicating anyone's looks other than a few of my own.

Has anyone else surprised themselves like this with their avatar's appearance?

Not really, but my shape began from a modifiable shape I bought in 2009 that was supposed to look like Milla Kunis.  That was probably 500 edits ago.

I was told some years ago, here on this very forum, that my avatar looked like David Beckham. That certainly wasn't intended; I can't stand football and barely knew who he was. It wasn't until afterwards that I realised that was probably why the Redgrave skin was called 'David'. I had no idea!

I look like Sid Nagy.
You know, that guy from Second Life.

You do quite a bit, from when he was younger! Especially with the hair.

You're mixing up two things: Forum avatar and in world avatar.
My in world avatar looks very much like Sid Nagy from Second Life.
My forum avatar has gone to the dogs (for the time being).

Never! I've worked very hard to look like a couple of actresses (at different times obv) but it never comes off well. So not only have I never accidentally looked like one but I've never deliberately looked like one either!

Any resemblance to other mushrooms, real or imaginary, is purely coincidental.

We always knew you were a fun gi, Polenth.

Madison often tells me she thinks I look like Ron Howard, at least how he looked a couple of decades ago.  I only remember him from Happy Days when he was much younger. I guess he was only directing after that so I haven't found any photos of him that resemble me that closely. Maybe kinda like this, but with more hair.

Maybe also Domhnall Gleeson, who played Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise;

   I'd still say Tony Curran.

A bit, maybe.

I sure hope mine doesn't look like someone well known, although it's probably hard to avoid looking like one of them at some point.. hehehehe

Nobody ever said  they did that i can remember.. So, So far so good! \o/..

I'd like to think that my avatar doesn't look like a celebrity at all, but I could be wrong.
I try to make sure she doesn't look realistic and kind of has more of that BJD feel to her or look as close to my PFP that I can get.

I think the closest I ever came  was maybe Suki from Fast and Furious.. Not intentional and  not too close with the shape either. But somehow I got close enough probably because of the clothes hair and the car in the back..  About all I knew about the movie was Vin diesel and Paul Walker were in it... Someone said  it looked like her and I went to  see and was like, that's not even close, it just has to be the stuff!\o/ hehehe

I could have made a good Suki shape if I was going for that.. hehehe

One night, I was enjoying a movie at SL's MST3K theater, and someone IMs me, comparing my avi's looks to Scarlett Johanson.

Having said that, while I do like her look, I didn't specifically set out to look like, well, anyone. Even so, I took the comment in a complimentary spirit. 😃

BJD? PFP?

...taps her hearing aid to see if the battery needs changing.

I tried once...

I was kind of picking up that vibe when I would see your forum avatar, but couldn't put my finger on just who.. hehehe

Now there is closure.. hehehe

[Claireschen Hesten]

According to https://starbyface.com/ this is my closest celeb match

[AylarL]

Oh, I did that one too
