You forgot tom cruise as barry seal
Haha wash Margot Robbies face and she looks like every other blonde chick without make up….so not so different
Diana Ross as Billie Holiday. Major FAIL
Besides sci-fi and fantasy, movies are life… With hotter people and boring parts changed or edited…
Chadwick Boseman doesn't look anything like James Brown either.
Alexandra Shipp as Aaliyah in the Aaliyah: Princess of R&B biopic
they had the same skin color but that was all
I still think they should've cast Angela Davis as Nina Simone
Selma Hayek as Frida Kahlo should be in the list
Lion, nobody looked like their biopic counterparts
There are many examples for this. Liam Neeson doesn't really look like Oskar Schindler but gives a great performance in the movie. Also Robin Williams didn't really look like Patch Adams or Adrian Cronauer (And Good Morning Vietnam was great).
I have to disagree with Steve Jobs and DuPont. In my opinion they looked just like them.
It's such a shame that the Nina Simone movie had the potential to be another "Ray". But when they announced Zoe, Black America unanimously turned their backs on the whole thing. SMH. Sad.
Also Adelaide Kane as Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scots in "Reign", she did a brilliant job playing the character, but tbh she looks nothing like her, not even close.
Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum
How about Gary Oldman as Churchill? And Hugh Jackman as PT Barnum? lol
That girl who played britney on that lifetime biopic. She doesn't even looked like her one bit. Besides the biopic being horrible af.
omg i feel so dumb i didn't know the sound of music was based off a real family…
Doris Day as Ruth Etting!
Idk some look pretty close to me. Lindsay Lohan circa 2006 looked a bit like Elizabeth Taylor and I think it's cool that they were both child stars turned adult stars who dealt with fame and paparazzi. Lindsay 2012 was a bad choice to play her though
Surprised that Hugh Jackman as PT Barnum wasn't on the list.
What about Denzel Washington as Malcolm X?
Noticeable absence. Black face. Yellow and red and brown face
Emma Stone as Billie Jean King. Super performance, but they look nothing alike.
