Anyone? Anyone?

Ever wonder what celebrity you look like the most? There is actually a tool at http://www.myheritage.com that allows you to check that!

How accurate is it? Well let's just say if you use a good photo of yourself, meaning you follow all the directions they give you to help you choose a photo to give you the best results, you will notice the similarity.

If you want to test the accuracy for yourself, try uploading a photo of a well-known celebrity (remember to pick a photo where their face is even and are looking straight into the camera) and it will match that celeb's picture with the real celebrity. I tried this with a picture of Nick Lachey and got a 90% match with none other than Nick Lachey!

Here is a collage of my "look-a-likes":

PS: Notice before you try 50 different pictures that in all the images, the celebrities are basically facing the same way as I am in my picture. I have a picture just like this where my face is looking a little bit to the left and it shows the celebs like that...but if...say, they don't have an image of Nick Lachey facing that way, then he won't be on my results. That's why it's important to get a straight shot of your face because most of the images they compare you to are like that!

how do you get your pics to display in a collage like that? i cant figure out how to do it.

also, Ashley, you shouldnt feel bad about that. i think Christina Ricci is gorgeous, and im sure im not the only one who thinks that.

When you go to upload your picture, there's another link that says "create collage" or something like that.

Click that one, and it will be the same uploading process, then just click on the save button and it will give you a link (with a bunch of html crap that u can forget about) to put anywhere.

The only times where you really start to notice a big similarity is usually when the percentage gets up into the 80's.

I had always thought that I looked like Nick Lachey ever since way back when 98 degrees first came out and nobody ever believed me so I thought it was so funny to see him on my list even if it was just like 60%. We got the same nose fo sho. haha

^LoL yeah.

Well you can read the "How it works" part for an explanation on that.

Basically it compares your facial features to that of their database of celebrity pictures. So like if you have a lot of the same features as Nick Lachey and also a lot of the same features as Adam Goldberg, that doesn't mean that those two have to look alike. Like my eyes and nose might be shaped just like Nick Lachey's, but maybe my neck, forehead, and cheeks might be very similar to Adam Goldberg. That's kind of an explanation for that.

You know what I think they should do? Allow everyone to upload pictures of themselves, and then instead of doing celebrities, it would be comparing you to regular people. I bet a lot of people would find some other regular people (in a database of probably millions of pictures) that look almost exactly identical.

Yea that would actually be pretty cool. You know they say you always have atleast one person that looks exactly like you. It would be cool to see that. Even if they are in another country or something. Someone could find their long lost twin!!
