Celebrity Look-alike's and Me

This past weekend, I went to the local gas station to fill up my tank and grab a 6pack of Shock Top Ale.  I was cooking mexican food, and a citrus-infused beer sounded good.

That cashier starts gushing... "Has anyone ever told you that you look like a famous celebrity?"

I smile.  I used to get this from time to time, and it always made me blush.  People would tell me I look like Tobey Maguire, and ask me if we were related.

Sometime's I'd fib and go "yeah, we're cousins..." but most time I'd be honest and say there's no relation.  I'd take it as a compliment, sometimes as a flirt, but either way it made me smile.

But this isn't who the cashier was comparing me to.  She had a hard time spitting it out, and was naming movies I haven't seen...

"He was in Accepted, did you see that?  No?  Hmmm...  Oh I know!  He's that luau waiter dude from Forgetting Sarah Marshall!"

So, I'm not Tobey anymore...

I'm Jonah Hill.

(which is better than "McLovin," but not by much...)

I don't weigh any more than I did 6 or 7 years ago (a little less, if anything...) but it seems to show a little more.  I'm working on that (I know, beer isn't the answer) but I don't see it.

First off, my hair isn't curly.  I would say that I keep my short n curly's in my pants, but I manscape (TMI).  I'm not sporting the 'fro like he is, and I can't peg myself as "The silly, lovable fat sidekick" like he is in a lot of movies.

But wait...

Jonah Hill has lost a lot of weight recently.

So am I more like '300lb Jonah' or closer to 'Jared from Subway 2.0 Jonah?'  Maybe somewhere in the middle?

I'm funny.  I'm extroverted.  I can flirt and charm my way out of a paper bag.  But am I the movie stereotype?

Am I Jonah Hill?  Chris Farley?  John Candy?

Am I the lovable chunker?  Because if I am, thank you, it's still a huge compliment, but I'd rather not be.

Back to the gym, I guess...

...and I thought I looked more like
a sexier, American Daniel Craig...
