Ever looked at a celebrity photo and seen a resemblance to someone or something else? Well, now you can have fun matching celebrities to anything on a new, no holds barred website that promises "We have no mercy... :)". TotallyLooksLike lets anyone submit two photographs, one of someone famous and their look-alike.
The anything goes rule has resulted in some pretty hilarious pairs. Nick Nolte resembles Cthulu, the giant fictional creature. Posh Spice looks like Falcor from The Neverending Story. Some are pretty obvious like Jamie Hyneman from Mythbusters looking like a walrus. Mick Jagger also looks like another real creature, the batfish. Even opposite genders work as Bill Gates looks like Janet Reno! Voting on the site will reveal if the comparisons are spot on or not.
You can not only contribute and subscribe to the latest additions, the code to embed the final paired pictures is also available for your blog!
