Look-alikes 2

I keep finding more look-alikes in life. I had written about a group of people who resemble each other, culled from the familiar faces one sees mostly in cinema and TV, in this blog. I thought some readers might add a few more to the list. But that has not happened. Meanwhile, I have some more cases of close resemblances. And mind you these are based purely on my observations. You may agree or not agree with it

Keyboard prodigy Stephen Devassy has some kind of resemblance to Indian cricket captain M S Dhoni. The similarity is more when they keep straight faces. Their smiles are, however, different.

Director Hariharan and comedian Kuthiravattam Pappu had a striking resemblance when they were young. Hariharan has put on weight and his face is different now. Similarly, Pappu’s looks also changed when he grew old. But just compare their old photographs, you will know what I mean. Incidentally, both are from Kozhikode.

My other examples are from cricket. Former England fast bowler Domnic Cork and South African tearaway pace bowler Alan Donald are look-alikes. When I see either of them on TV, I get confused for a moment. When they smile confusion worsens.

Aleem Dar is a Pakistani umpire officiating in the ongoing IPL matches. Doesn’t he look like former Pakistani fast bowler Waqar Yunus when he was younger? In my previous blog I had found a similarity between England fast bowler James Anderson and actor Jim Carrey. They have company in the form of Latin pop singer Ricky Martin. The resemblance is only from certain angles.

In the current IPL tussle the ousted Deccan Chargers have look-alikes in J P Duminy and Shikar Dhawan. They have almost same facial structure and short crop of hair. When they wear sunglasses, they look like identical twins.

First part of look-alikes can be found in my archives.
