I was running on the treadmill at the gym the other night, doing what I usually do: snooping on the people all around me, specifically at what they were watching on their in-built television monitors as they jogged along.
(Usually I go to the gym in the early afternoons and reserve a special sort of judgement for those who have their stations turned to The View. But I digress…)
Anyway, the other night an American entertainment program was previewing shows that are about to premiere on their fall programming, and one came up called The Blacklist. And there, in the few seconds worth of footage, was James Spader. Bald. That was surprise enough, but – and remember I’m watching this over someone’s shoulder, who’s no doubt pissed off with me by now, so my view wasn’t the best – I couldn’t shake the feeling that he reminded me of someone else.
Kevin Rudd! said my brain.
And once I made that connection, it could not be broken.
I was so convinced that I came home and loaded up some pictures like you see above for a side-by-side comparison and showed them to Adam for a second opinion. They look similar!
“No, not even a little bit,” he said bluntly.
“Hold on, okay, let’s imagine Kevin was bald. Or James is wearing glasses. Can you see it then?”
“No.”
“If you close your eyes just a little – ”
Adam interrupted me. “No. No. Just, no.”
*sniff*
Fine.
I still think so (a bit).
Just to show I do have a decent track record for this kind of thing, let me show you a few I’ve earlier identified:
What do you think??!
