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... |
Want to be Bill Pullman from Torchwood?
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be John Barrowman from torchwood, but sure? Never heard a similarity to Bill Pullman before...
ReplyDeleteHey man,there is no shame in looking like Jonah hill. Gals find bigger guys sexy. lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's the glasses. People fixate on a single feature. Like how bald people are called Larry David. At least you get compared to a non-fictional celebrity, I get Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
ReplyDeleteI've been compared to movie villains/masterminds, apparently I have this bad ass aura.
ReplyDeleteI've learned to use this, I'm a pacifist and I've dealt with a number of potential fights just by giving the guy a look it usually ends with him being dragged away by his friend being told "Dude, don't fuck with this guy.".
Funny thing is I've been in only one real fight my entire life :P
lmfao you do kinda look like both of them
ReplyDeleteActually you do look like Bill Pullman with little increase in diameter. Juz kidding..
ReplyDeleteJoan hill is a better compliment than the milksops Toby Mcquire,hobbits(Daniel Craig,Daniel Radcliffe) and Orlando Boom ...
I get told I look like everyone from their 2nd cousin twice removed to Anne Hathaway to Sarah Bareilles... everyone has their perception of who looks like who I guess. I think you look like you. How's that?
ReplyDeleteTHAT. Made me laugh. A lot.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see the thinner Jonah Hill - but I don't think that's a bad thing. I like Jonah better than Toby. Fuck. I hate that guy! LOL.
Who am I to judge, I had a crush on Seth Rogan (the fatter sloppier version), not the new one. I think that your eyes and eyebrows are so totally Toby that it's kinda spooky, but the hair color and eye color is like Jonah.
ReplyDeleteDude, you *do* look like Jonah. But I also see a wee bit of Tobey too.
ReplyDeleteWell, you kinda do have Toby's smile going on when you do. But when you said Jonah I was like "..wha?" until I saw him with the lost weight. Then it all made sense.
ReplyDeleteWho would want to look like someone named "Tobey"? Ew.
ReplyDeleteWhether or not he's overweight, there's nothing sexier to me than a funny guy. I'd choose Farley or Candy or any of those guys over the traditionally handsome Hollywood types any day. Well, if they were alive and everything.
you do kinda look like Jonah!
ReplyDeleteI see a Jeff Daniels resemblance.
ReplyDeleteOddly, you look very similar to a cousin of mine. More oddly, his name is Brandon.
ReplyDeleteSomebody help me out, I can't tell which is which.
ReplyDeleteFrankly all you non-blue people look alike to me.
ReplyDeleteLMAO i dnt see the toby macguire resemblance but u do look like jonah!
ReplyDeleteWell I don't know who you look like but I think you are cute. I have a customer who insists I look like Hilary Clinton. can't see it myself but I always say Thank you. From what I know of her, she seems to be a strong intelligent woman and better to be compared to her than a lot of others I can think of.
ReplyDeleteI once had a man in Turkey tell me that I looked like Cindy Crawford in order to sweet talk me into buying a yo-yo from him. I promptly told him he was blind and delusional. Other than that time I usually get "You have a very familiar face" but never comparable to anyone's.
ReplyDeleteWho cares who they say you look like...you're adorable...go with it.
I can see the resemblance to Jonah Hill... but i'd say it's the more 2.0 jonah..
ReplyDeleteAmberLaShell Rants
ha. Toby Maguire in Spider Man 3 actually started to resemble Jonah Hill...dude was not in "super hero" shape at all!
ReplyDeleteYour lucky though. I don't have any celebrity look alike stories. Although an asshole buddy of mine swears I look like Chris Rock. Even though I'm not black. Or have curly hair. Asshole.
Too funny. I really don't see the resemblance to Jonah Hill. Toby yes.
ReplyDeleteI'm still distraught over the fact Jonah hill lost that much weight! I miss the chunky Jonah, it was his character in my opinion. But I agree with Annah!
ReplyDeleteDaniel Craig....definitely. Does that get me any extra get out of jail free cards for the future? haha. Funny how people see others.
ReplyDeleteI look like a Korean boyband member.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's why my girlfriend likes me so much.
I wouldn't have noticed it off hat, but now that you've pointed it out I can actually see the resemblance to the 2.0 Jonah.
ReplyDeletehahahaha, i lol'd heartily. You're definitely a distant cousin of the new Jonah Hill
ReplyDeleteHey, I get called Frodo Baggins. Which really pisses me off.
ReplyDeleteBecause they're always after my precious.
i see it...after jonah's weight loss. also, tobey hasn't been doing as much lately and jonah has, so perhaps that has something to do with it...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the 2.0 Jonah; I can certainly see the resemblance. I think it's the lips. And the glasses.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'd say there are definitely worse celebrities to look like!
I got told that I looked like Andy Milonakis, feels bad man.
ReplyDeleteI think you've got more of a Cary Grant thing goin' on.
ReplyDeleteBrandon, google Jeff Daniels and compare those pix with yours...
ReplyDeleteDude, you look just like my 8th grade history teacher, Mr. Adcock. Aside from that, what's wrong with McLovin? Dude has the singular name like Madonna which carries weight. You should just change your name to Idaho and increase your clout. Seriously, you did look like Jared though.
ReplyDeleteEveryone says I look like Tobey, well they say Spider Man. I look far more like him than you do. You look more like Jonah.
ReplyDeleteYou know what?
ReplyDeleteYou look like a handsome Drew Carey.
That's not a bad thing...
I did that plug in with my face celebrity look a like thing and it came back Ashton Kutcher.
ReplyDeleteI did it 3 times: each time, Ashton Kutcher.
YES actually that's bang on.
ReplyDelete
