My cat. Everyone would be played by cats. Untrained cats, just put them together in relevant places and roll camera. It's art now.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago

I was thinking specific cats (a la Unsinkable Sam or Stationmaster Tama), but these newcomers need breakout roles too!

[–] golli@lemm.ee 16 points 11 months ago

Nicolas Cage.

Doesn't matter that he isn't even close to being a match, but the movie would most certainly be entertaining.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Ryan Gosling, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Timothee Chalamet. Not as one person blended together, but them having a threesome. Directed by Denis Villeneuve. Score by Vangelis.

That's me.

[–] Emir@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I can imagine you so well

[–] treechicken@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Me of course. I mean I already got famous for being me so clearly I would be a good fit for the role.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Jack Black is the only real choice. In his messy beard phase.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 11 months ago

I had a hard time thinking of someone even remotely matching my elaborate style and high class. This is exactly it. Jack Black, messy beard, clothing that looks like he dressed in a small, completely dark closet.

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago

I'm a forgettable nobody, so, Michael Cera.

It's mostly because we look a bit alike but I still agree with the sentiment.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bojack.

Horseman, obviously.

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

get in line

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm thinking the actress for MJ in Spiderman (forgot her name) is the closest match, but it would still be a very rough one. For starters, I'm wondering how well she'd do in leg guards or if she could do a Kiwi accent.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’m thinking the actress for MJ in Spiderman

do you mean Kirsten Dunst?

[–] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

MJ is Michelle Jones-Watson played by Zendaya in the latest Spiderman films. Kirsten Dunst played Mary-Jane Watson in the Spiderman films from two decades ago, the ones with the first trailer at the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They said “Spiderman” not “Spiderman: Homecoming” nor “Spiderman: Far From Home” nor “Spiderman: No Way Home”.

And in the original Spiderman, Mary-Jane was often called MJ by Spiderman.

Pedantic enough for you?

[–] sxan@midwest.social 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

No similarity, but it'd be funny watching the director try to fit The Rock into a computer programming role; and also because - since it's a movie - people would think that's how I look.

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Question: on what occasion in your life did you hold a helicopter with bare hands? And why?

[–] sxan@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago

It's my biography, not Dwayne's! The heaviest thing he'll hold in the biography will be the absurdly large Calvin & Hobbes Compendium.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Seth Rogan but he's a craft beer snob instead of a pot head.

[–] tunetardis@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Probably Keanu Reaves. We went to the same schools growing up and have similar ethnicity. I don't actually remember him, though I must've passed him in the hall? He's a few years my senior.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Dunno probably that guy in the Vicar of Dibley that went "Mo no no no yes"

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Haaa! I love it ^^

The guy

[–] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)
[–] otacon239@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

I describe myself as looking like what happens when you skip character creation. I’m super average-looking and would be tough to pick from a crowd.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Matt Damon.

Similar size, shape, looks and both from the Boston area.

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Apparently I look a lot like a certain, well known actor. So much so, that several people independently of each other told me that.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 11 months ago

Rocco Siffredi?

[–] Moob@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

A cross between Matt Jones and Daniel Franzese

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Either Jack Black or Daniel Day-Lewis, depending on who directs/who's casting.

Edit: I'm not saying I look like Daniel Day-Lewis, I'm saying I like to think my life would require an actor of his caliber and complexity. Probably Rob Schneider would suffice, in reality.

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

In a similar vein, not Rob Schneider the actor, but that racist stereotype Mexican he plays in a bunch of movies. I would find it hilarious in a "I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude" way.

Wait.

RDJ playing Rob Schneider playing that character.

[–] aodhsishaj@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Daniel Day Lewis?! Now, I know you're being disingenuous. Please use no fewer than 25 words between the; painter, journeyman cobbler, chef, bon vivant, quite possibly the greatest actor of his generation and Rob "screaming internally for validation" Schneider.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 11 months ago

That guy from The Commitments.

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Alan Ritchson, of course

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Dave Bautista. In a long wig. Haha

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago

Please let it be Daniel Day Lewis. He'll make me so much cooler and more brooding than I actually am. I love that man's work.

Also, since he's a method actor, he'll have to be drunk 24h a day when he films the dark times when I dealt with horrible depression. I think he can pull it off. (I'm much better now, thanks.)

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Philip Seymour Hoffman. He lost the game a while back, but it could fit. Who else m idk. Who else is chubby, reasonable intelligent and has a drug problem??

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Hugh Grant, I've been told too many times. Same looks, same sheepish attitude

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

David Anthony Higgins

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bradley Cooper. People always tell me I look like Bradley fuckin Cooper

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I used to get the same thing with Edward Norton.
