Celebrity Look Alike
Lately my friends and I have been discussing who would play us in a movie version of our lives.
It’s a fun game but it can be really hard (especially if your celebrity knowledge is weak). We were trying to think of actors similar to us in age, face shape, colour, and general features. And preferably a celebrity we don’t hate.
I was leaning toward Zooey Deschanel for her big eyes and pale complexion, though nobody was entirely convinced she’d make a good Sam.
Tina mentioned America Ferrera and was like, “Yes! Totally!” She’s got my dark features and a similar body shape and most importantly I think she’s awesome (I was an avid Ugly Betty viewer and thought she was amazing in Real Women Have Curves and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants).
But my other friends disagreed.
Well? Not Bad Right?
So I plugged my picture into this celebrity look alike generator. There are a few on the net but picked this one since I didn’t have to put in my e-mail info to use it.
I ran it twice just to be sure. (Actually I ran it three times but in one picture my hair was pulled back and the generator thought I was a man, not unlike Gary Sinise. It should probably have the functionality to allow you to specify your gender.)
Run 1:
Eva Mendes is cool. Slightly older of an actress than I’d like to see play me, but I can see the resemblance. What I can’t see is Katherine Heigl or Naomi Watts (or is that just because I can’t picture a blonde looking like me?)
Run 2:
Eva Longoria is gorgeous so I’m not complaining.
Eva Mendes and Kim Kardashian are the only two that show up in both runs, so maybe there’s something to that.
But, I still think I’d prefer America Ferrera play the part of Samantha in the movie of my life.
What do you guys think?

I think you’re right…America Ferrara would be perfect. She’s beautiful. Eva Longoria would be my second choice.
I think I’m with you on the America Ferrara thing- plus she’s awesome! Kim Kardashian’s got nothing on your smile.
I play that game with my friends all the time too. I tried that website before (or something similar) and always get varied results!
I’m a huge America Ferrara fan too! I’ve obviously never met either of you in person (although I feel as though I know you through your blog), but I definitely think that both of you would be super fun, down-to-earth kind of girls.
(And now I totally want to run this and find out my celebrity. ha, ha).
I’m surprised America Ferrara didn’t show up on your look-a-like generator. Can’t wait for the movie version!
For me, people usually say Lucy Liu (aka the only Asian actress people know). I don’t see the resemblance, myself.
America Ferrara looks an awful lot like Mandy Moore in that picture! In fact, I didn’t recognize her!!! I’m not sure who I think you look like BUT it’s definitely NOT Anne Heche!!!
Also, I’m pretty sure Kim K, doesn’t even looks like Kim K anymore!
Hmm…I agree with your first thought. You *do* look like America Ferrara.
And honestly, you are so much prettier than those other “look alikes”!!!
Moral of the story: you are stunningly beautiful!
