Montréal photographer François Brunelle is working on an interesting project, looking for look-alikes who — other than their appearance — have no relationship to each other. Not necessarily famous people; just everyday folk. He got the project started after repeatedly being told he looked just like Mr. Bean. (Incidentally, that means he must also look just like José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the prime minister of Spain and a remarkable look-alike to Mr. Bean!) If you’ve seen someone who looks just like you, or like someone you know, get in touch with Brunelle — you could be part of the project!

Appearance and similarity can be pretty subjective. I’ve been told (at various times and by various people) that I evoke popcorn magnate Orville Redenbacher (c’mon!), King Juan Carlos I of Spain, Kermit the Frog and actor Ed Norton. King Orville Norton the Frog? Leaves a lot to the imagination, doesn’t it?
