Video Game Celebrity Look-A-Likes: Hot Dudes Edition

Mark Walhberg as "Max Payne"

Now that we've witnessed the miracle that is hot female celebrities looking somewhat like rendered video game characters, it's time to drool over the same phenomenon - only this time with HOT GUYS!

Guys have done pretty well starring as game characters in the past: Mark Wahlberg was a dead-ringer for Max Payne, Timothy Olyphant definitely resembled Agent 47 in the Hitman movie, and Jamie Foxx is about to play Lynch in an upcoming Kane and Lynch movie even though Kane is white and it makes no sense even though I enjoy Jamie Foxx as an actor. Wait. Did I accidentally change the subject? Whatever.

Time for Video Game Celebrity Look-A-Likes: Hot Dudes Edition!

1. Paul Walker as Commander Shephard (Mass Effect)

Is it possible for one photo to have TOO much sexy?

I chose Paul Walker over Matthew Fox on this one, even though Matthew voices Commander Shephard and everyone says the resemblance is pretty spot-on. Nah. Paul's better.
2. Keanu Reeves as Alan Wake (Alan Wake)

Alan is like Neo with a flashlight! ...Sort of.is like Neo with a flashlight! ...Sort of.

The squinty eyes! The facial hair! The slightly open lips as if they're both about to say, "I've got a bad feeling about this." Alan is a realistic-looking game character and Keanu is a digital-looking actor! It balances out.

3. Nick Lachey as Nathan Drake (Uncharted: Drake's Fortune)

Hunks happen.

Nick has never appealed to me, but when comparing him to the gorgeous Nathan Drake suddenly makes him seem ridiculously sexy. It must be that wide-jaw, scruffy, Hollywood bed-head look.
4. Tom Cruise as Dante (Devil May Cry series)

Can you say piercing eyes?

Now THIS is how I like my Tom - the hair, the lips, the eyes. Dante could be the sexiest male game character to ever live; Tommy Boy should be honored to resemble him so closely. If only he had white hair...
5. Vin Diesal as Riddick (Escape from Butcher Bay)

Game technology at its badassiest.

This one is totally cheating because Vin Diesal OWNS the game company that made this game and the character was obviously made to look exactly like him. But goodness GRAY-SHUS look at the resemblance! I love me some Riddick.

BONUS LOOK-A-LIKE!

6. Hunter Stroud as L (Deathnote, game and TV series)

Now THOSE are some hot, hot emo guys!

DivaJulia's son, Hunter, is not only an AMAZING musician, but he is also an amazing cosplayer, apparently. I died and went to heaven when I saw this photo! Death Note MOVIE anyone? Sidebar: Hunter wasn't even trying to look like "L" from Death Note--this photo was taken on set, in between scenes of the indie horror film Cthuluhu.

What do you guys think of these dudes??

Separated at Birth – Steve Nash and Jackie Earl Haley – UPDATE

Steve Nash...beaten up.

Jackie Earl Haley in "The Watchmen"

My son Alex is FORCING me to do this Separated at Birth. It pains me; and I hate to admit there is indeed a real resemblance. Sigh. And I really like both of these guys!

First of all, I hate--loathe--the Lakers. I love Steve Nash. (I love lots of basketball players...FYI.) And really respect Jackie Earl Haley. He's a fantastic actor who fell off the map for a long time. Remember the lovely film, Breaking Away? Wonderful movie. Seek it out. I was very happy for Jackie to be chosen for the updated Nightmare on Elm Street as Freddie Krueger. Genius casting, if you ask me, and the fact that the original Freddie, Robert Englund fully approved of Jackie taking over the role says a lot. (I realize this movie has been out for awhile...sorry I'm just now mentioning it.)

Anyway, Alex. I hope you're happy. As IF you bloody read your Mama's blog in the first place! Psssh.

**UPDATE** Alex texted me to say he feels badly about saying this now, after seeing poor Steve Nash crying in the locker room after losing to the GOTdamn Lakers. Actually, he shouldn't feel too badly, really. Jackie Earl and Steve are both amazing.

Sniff sniff.

Did I mention that I hate the Lakers?

Separated at Birth – Russell Brand and Texas Russell Brand

Yes. This is to be expected from the REAL Russell Brand.

But, wow. I need to thank two dear friends, Carter Magna and Annette, who BOTH sent me this photo:

GASP.

Apparently, this fine gentleman is from Texas...and this is what Russell would (or does) look like as a chubby firearms enthusiast.

SWEET!

Separated at Birth – Sex and the City 2 Edition

Wait. WHO???

THAT is some effing Photoshop, y'all. I saw the top part of this ad for (ugh) Sex and the City 2 and TOTALLY thought it was Tiger's mistress Rachel Uchitel. Come ON. Really???

The REAL Rachel Uchitel

Rachel should be pissed; better yet she should SUE. We ALL know SJP doesn't look as good as Tiger's #1 Mistress.

That's better.

Any chance I get to use that photo, you KNOW I will.

Speaking of SATC2. If there is ONE FILM that I do not want to see, it would be this one. Wouldn't you know, I've been given tickets for a VIP pre-screening (via Phil Smart Mercedes in Seattle) Wednesday night for this very movie. Sigh. I wish I had recorded my BFF Patrick's high pitched squeal when I told him about the tickets. So, we're going.

The only people who will be there will be The Gays, their Hags (Patrick and me--durrr), and a pack of women asking each other, "Which character do you think I am??", while slurping up cosmos at the community trough.

I'll let you know how it goes. Oy.

Separated at Birth: Golfer, Rory McIlroy and Danny Noonan from Caddyshack

Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter

Danny Noonan and Ty Webb - Caddyshack

HILARIOUS. I'm just howling over how funny this is...check it, y'all.

via TheNewYorkTimes.com

"CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Two days before his 21st birthday, Rory McIlroy came of age Sunday. After having barely made the 36-hole cut, McIlroy, a curly-haired phenom from Northern Ireland, put on an unforgettable weekend show. It ended with him earning his first PGA Tour victory with a 10-under-par 62 to come from four strokes off the pace to beat Phil Mickelson by four strokes and Ángel Cabrera by five in the Quail Hollow Championship.

...McIlroy was grinning as he walked to the scorer’s area, where he was met by Padraig Harrington of Dublin and thumped on the back by his fellow pros Jim Furyk, Lee Westwood, Aaron Baddeley and others.

Not that he was gloating, but he could not resist a playful jab at Westwood, who finished second at the Masters to Mickelson.

“I told him, ‘That’s how you close out a tournament,’ ” McIlroy said with a smile.

He had arrived. And he knew it."

Oh, and...Tigah-whoooo? Yeah. Mr. Woods didn't even make the cut.

Darling Alabama Whitman from "True Romance"

Y'all know how much I love "True Romance" with Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater. I've blabbed about it ad nauseum. I don't care. I love it. Ya know what? I betcha anything Christina was tryna look like Alabama. Too bad no one can top Alabama's sweetness. I just love her.

And yes. I'm gonna post the BEST fight scene ever (a-bloody-gain). Just bear with me...

Oh, James Gandolfini. I love seeing you getting your ass kicked by a girl.

Separated at birth…Someone is growing a giant head.

Has his head always been this wide? NO.

Seems Eddie borrowed someone's hat, yes?

I may be a little off on this one, but it's the first thing I thought of when I saw the new pictures of Johnny Depp filming The Tourist in Venice. I was all, "he's turning into an Eddie Vedder-Head!". Not that there's anything WRONG with it--I'm just sayin' that Johnny's head didn't used to be so big and wide. Eddie's always kinda had the head. Johnny? No. We all know he enjoys him some red wine...maybe that's it the reason?

What are your thoughts?
