MeSoMerry
Man, Gary Oldman and James Franco should just be best friends.
narcissisticOSTRICH
Colin Farrell nailed it.
readbadcommentstopickargumentsforfun
Everyone knows Stephen Fry is the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde, in more ways than one.
iamreallyjusthereforthecats
I lost it at Dory.
thechalange
TIL there are a lot of movies I need to see.
TwoDogsFucking
Gary Oldman as Sid Vicious is great. Wish there was a comparison of Chloe Webb and Nancy Spungen.
YesIDidTakeThisNameFromABookWeAreNotAllCreativeLikeYouMom
is Angelina Jolie playing blackface
1999eclipse
Marianne Pearl is mixed race and personally chose Jolie for the part.
rustytrumpet
As a black man, If I had a choice, I'd choose Jolie to play me in a biopic too..
honeybadgerdontgiveashit
who had the most in there? Oldman?
itinsistsuponitself
They didn't even try with "Moneyball", they were just like "let's stick in Brad Pitt, that'll get the ladies"
kailskails
you should see what jonah hill's character actually looks like.....
cmonaussie
That coach from the friday night lights show would've worked much better
xotilweoverdose
and it worked, *sigh*.
Wagemeister
Don't know the character, but as far as looks, I think Kevin Spacey would have been spot-on.
baronridiculous
If you put Sarah Palin, Julianne Moore and Tina Fey in a Sarah Palin lookalike contest, Sarah Palin would come in third.
CharlesRamsey4Prez
You forgot Lisa Ann
banani
This happened to Charlie Chaplin but i'm sure you knew that hence yr comment. But not with Tina Fey and Julianne Moore. I'll show myself out
chemistrydoc
Just so you all know...if a movie is made of my life... George Clooney MIGHT be able to pull me off.
incunut
wait....wut??? pull you off??
chemistrydoc
Wasn't my best chose of words I've ever used on a comment. Nevertheless,
vickivalencourt
They, uh, kinda overdid Salma Hayak's unibrow, eh??
xoverthirtyx
She didin't look like that in the movie I think they found a fan-edited image or something.
icanc4
Honestly, they couldn't unpretty Salma Hayak enough to get a good resemblance.
meanrainbowfarter
I think the mustache was overdone!
threnodymarch
Frida Kahlo often over-emphasized her eyebrows in her self-portraits, so I would say it is reasonable for them to do that for the film
Gonnaderpya
Actually it was in reference to how the woman portrayed herself in her paintings. Google Frida Kahlo and you'll understand..
Gonnaderpya
Sincerely, an Art Major :|
xoverthirtyx
But that image isn't associated with the movie. Someone just took her image from the movie and made it look like her paintings.
MotherofMrFace
Adrien Brody was born to play Dali
ooolalina
I agree with your statement.
brew13
Dory makes this.
bygoneautomaton
Should've referenced the upcoming Finding Dory in keeping with the theme of "biopic".
deeponesushi
The Dory one made me ROFL
xOrpheusx
Dory should have been the last one!
kirby174
Actually I like how she's just casually thrown in the middle of the list

DITTO!
stigmawizard
I feel like Gary Oldman could be the biopic actor for every single person on here.
Strudol
i feel like gary oldman could replace any one of us and no one would notice
Maggiemypet
plot twist: they were all Gary Oldman
stigmawizard
Plot twist: You're actually Gary Oldman. And so am I.
vivadechihuahua
Gary Oldman is a fuckin' cameleon :O
babycoolredhead
For real.
jrau18
I thought the same about Josh Brolin. Both are incredible at changing how they appear. I guess his MiB role didn't fit OP's criteria.
tommdepomm
gary oldman is a god among men
thegreatquesadilla
Yes, yes he is!
KeepItLoki
Agreed! And he gets REALLY into the roles he plays, too. I love him!
Jhecht
oldman should dress like Franco and Franco should dress like oldman just for science
PooUnderTheShoe
Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison - a thousand times YES!!
caelanga
He NAILED it
margethemouse
A moment of silence for the memory of the young, fit Val :,(
iwantkittydaycare
He looked EXACTLY like him. So crazy. And hot. I loved that movie. Wish Jim Morrison would have lived longer. So talented. Such a waste.
PooUnderTheShoe
I can only agree.
chazol
So hot.
t3heel
you go, James Franco!
StiabhnaD
Claus von Stauffenberg was probably taller. And less cultish.
iPukeUnicornsAndRainbows
Gary Oldman...need I say more?
shrow
James Franco. Man of many looks.
battlestarknownasgalactica
shit, James Franco looks like everyone
EatMyGrundle
So...Bob Dylan was played by a woman?
SkittleBomb
And by many other actors... Heath Ledger among them. Interesting concept for a movie.
kuzcospoison
Cate Blanchett...aka Galadriel from Lord of the Rings. Night and day, ya'll. That's talent.

"Ooieoo I look just like Buddy Holly." -Gary Busey
notpatbenatar
I somehow managed to read that in Busey's voice too.
Yucked

I forgot Gary Busey did anything besides just being insane. Nowadays you can just do that. Back then you needed a movie first.
DrShoe
Holy shit, he was Mr. Joshua in Lethal Weapon. I did not know this, yet. Or rather, I didn't know who Gary Busey is when I first saw it
TwoDogsFucking
"Oh oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore."
MrsNedRyerson
"I don't care what they say about us anyway!"
HanathanSolo
"I don't care 'bout that"
Sinniri
Gary Busey doesn't look like Gary Busey. Is this before he became the person he is today?
orionqp
Yes. Drugs and a motorcycle accident have taken their toll.
Sinniri
Sad, yet not surprising.
MakingUpAUsernameIsTerrifying
'Alexander' was as much a biopic as 'Troy' was.
jazzmatazz
Apparently James Franco looks like a lot of people
jayman5513
I don't think he gets enough credit for his acting ability. He really does get into character quite well.
noodleshoe
So does Gary Oldman
qazplm123890
He was Edmond Dantés and he was my father. And my mother, my brother, my friend. He was you and me. He was all of us.
wakanitch
Jeff Goldblum should have totally done this.
PeteVenkmann
...that I'd like to shag
hugohugoyeayea
he also looks ALOT like Harvey Milk's boyfriend in MILK.
Scottishsandwich
also kind of like art garfunkel in that film
personalitydeficiant
He likes to be people.
amsong
James Dean. Jeff Buckley. That stoned guy you saw on the subway that one time.
jazzmatazz
oh my god. HE"S EVERYWHERE
amsong
True story. He's your mother. He's your father. He's your local florist.
jrau18
He's even Ted's wife.

Monroe has this look of blind optimism that wasn't quite captured
HeathcliffeMcH
It's the lazy eye. Monroe's eyes shot wide.
wynterr
I agree, Michelle Williams had almost fear in her eyes in that portrait shot.
bleepbloopbleepbloopbleep
Robery Downey played Charlie Chaplin? How'd I miss that?
caelanga
And he was wonderful in it...
honeybadgerdontgiveashit
acting! ... he was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for Chaplin...lost to Pacino (Scent of a Woman)
SkittleBomb
Watch it! At times I couldn't tell them apart whatsoever. Brilliant acting.
notpatbenatar
It's such a good movie!
rozyrosie
You probably weren't born yet.
lusepus
He looks like Katy Perry on the cover. That's how.
opad
OMG it was really good too. One of the few movies on that slide show I had seen.
voldemortslostnose
How does Cate Blanchett look so much like Bob Dylan?!
tommdepomm
you literally only need to use the two words "bob dylan" to get my upvote
Scalibrine
how does Cate Blanchett look so much like Andy Sandberg?
babycoolredhead
She really was phenomenal in I'm Not There (at least, I thought so).
parabola
Never mind that, how does she look so much like Galadriel?!
SkittleBomb
If you haven't seen the movie, I recommend watching it just because of her. She's brilliant as Bob Dylan.
TheBigLebowskiFromTheCreatorsofFargo
Pretty much anything Dylan is awesome. The man has written some of the most amazing songs ever.
SkittleBomb
I remember those moody evenings on the bus home while listening to Jokerman... Had a big Dylan phase haha.
ohidoliketobebesidetheseaside
ARGH! I've never seen it. Must do so asap.
streetyouths
Acting.
openthedoorgetontheflooreverybodywalkthedinosaur

She's asymmetrical ....sorry...I mean she's androgynous
violenthiccups
Cheekbones.
bartsimpsonsdna
My respect for that woman just tripled...
lusepus
It is called make up, dear.
erinking1006
One of my favorite insults ever (a dude friend of mine received): "you look like Cate Blanchett playing Bob Dylan"
GuybrushThreepwoodAMightyPirate
Because Bob Dylan's stuntman was a woman
rodwar
i do believe she's supposed to be Jude Quinn...not Bob Dylan
PagingDrLoggins
She is fucking incredible in that movie.
eggmuffin
I'm wondering what casting agent first decided that was a bright idea. And how did he persuade the producer?
ArnoldBlinken
the point of the movie was a bunch of different people playing dylan's wildly varying personae: a little black kid, heath ledger, cate, etc.
eggmuffin
Oh, cool.
iaccidentallybuiltafirewhileiwassleepwalking
Because it's freaking Cate Blanchett. That woman is unreal.
babycoolredhead
Truth.
pennemin
Makes sense.
