You can’t complain about Ava Gardner

So I found this face recognition software that supposedly tells you what celebrity you look most like. It’s best to use a front-facing, clear photo (of your face obviously.) Side facing photos can wind up matching with somebody simply in the same pose for lack of other similar features.

Now, I have been told on occasion in my like that I looked like Drew Barrymore and I’ve even gotten Natalie Portman once or twice but I have never had anyone tell me I look like Ava Gardner. Maybe that’s because the people who remember Ava are too old to care that I might resemble her slightly but apparently, she’s my top match.

I’m not complaining.

I ran it again with a different photo just for fun and to see if there were any double hits. Interestingly, I got a 90% hit to Kirsten Dunst but the only face that shows up again is Kristen Kreuk.

    What a cool website. Or so I thought! I tried it out with 2 different photos of myself. Twice I came out looking like a bloke!!

    Jim Carey and Kevin Costner!! There were females further down the line but I have never heard of them. Not playing this game anymore!!

    I think I had a man in there once too but I removed his picture for my own sake LOL!

    Sorry it wasn’t fun for you! :(

    Looks like a fun idea and I reckon you can be pleased with the result. You’re in fine company. Personally, I’d be scared to try!

    Well, I think some people’s pictures elicit some dodgy responses…LOL.

    I love this! I’ve been addicted to it since I saw it on your blog. The night I saw it, I made my husband get out of bed so I could take digital pictures of him. He was aggravated but knew I wouldn’t leave him alone….and he ended up staying up cracking up with me. The more off the wall pictures you take of yourself the better.
