Hollywood casting directors FTFY

Does the facial recognition area of the brain just work better for some people than it does for others? These are clearly photos of three different people.

Daniel Radcliffe doesn't look like Elijah Wood. Yes, I am fun at parties.

It's not just that it works differently for different people, it even works differently depending on your ethnicity and the ethnicity of who you're looking at. It's really weird.

I was a caricature artist for 4 years at theme parks in FL, USA, and have spent a lot of time on likenesses of people from all over the world. It is really rare to see people who look really truly alike. Also crazy how some people have no ability to tell what's a bad caricature that looks nothing like the person it's meant to be.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

Can’t tell them apart personally

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, it does work differently for different people. I usually struggle to tell people apart, but these pictures look different to me, especially the girl in the top right - she's got different eyes and lips compared to the other two. The other two have different noses.

Now, if I were in a room with all three of them, I might have trouble telling them apart. But that's more because I wouldn't be able to stare at their faces the way I can at their pictures. If they were all in the same film I might struggle too, because they wouldn't be static pictures, but dynamic video that moves along at a fast pace and I'd probably confuse one character for another.

Anyway, brains are weird.

In person they'd probably have different mannerisms and voices to help too.

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Like they'd talk to me.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

This looks like the same person at different ages to me. Like give a little leeway for like makeup department, lighting, and camera.

Margot Robbie objectively the finest of them all

[–] Lemming6969@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which one is Margot Robbie lol

[–] Crystalbound@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

One on the left. From wolf of Wallstreet, barbie, etc.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 days ago

Plastic surgeons did this.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

One of these is not like the others.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 59 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

I think they all different people...

Left: Margot Robbie

Top Right: Emma Mackey

Bottom Right: Samara Weaving

And they are missing Jaime Pressly

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I feel like it's also missing Denise Richards.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was suggesting that top right doesn't look anything like the others.

She's breathtaking. I miss her too. I think I miss her when I glance away.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

She’s breathtaking.

Indeed... if I ever find someone like her, face to face, I completely expect to be rendered an idiot and only make Kif sounds

[–] WagnasT@piefed.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Imma go watch Joe Dirt again

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Watch My Name is Earl instead. Much better.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I mean, it's a show versus a movie, apples and oranges. And Joe Dirt is a classic.

[–] WagnasT@piefed.world 4 points 4 days ago

I love that show, also raising hope is awesome.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Right up until that "ending."

[–] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

There is a third one??
