the other day i was over at christine's and there was this movie that she HAD to watch-or so all her friends were saying. so we watched this movie..and well, there were some similarities between the main character and ms kim. so i got to thinking, if there were a movie made about my life, who would be in it? obviously, its way too hard to find characters from specific roles that fit the personalities of the people in my life the way katherine heigl fit christine, so i figured id make guesses as to who i would cast for this fictional movie (such as the indian guy from weeds and kal penn playing me and my brother, john cho playing brian park, and so on) but since a lot of my friends are asian, and there are only so many characters that kristen kreuk and grace park can play, i figured id do some research at myheritage.com to find celebrities that look like my friends. and then bam, ive casted my movie....
well, it didnt really go according to plan. for the most part my responses ranged from not even close to hilariously far apart. so instead of fake casting what could only result in the worlds worst movie, ive decided to just post links to the pictures (embedding the pictures themselves would make this post WAY too long).this whole movie about my life thing is still interesting to me, so if you have suggestions as to who should play who, let me know! (yes, i know it might be 4 months before anyone other than the 5 people who are about to get an email telling them "you are mentioned in my new blog post" reads this, but whatever)
personal favorite: the last lookalike for david hill-i almost fell out of my chair laughing when that one came up.most accurate: dave ruttenberg.
actor who would be hilarious in his role as a character from my life: the last response for my dad.
funniest group: goh. hands down.
(since the responses are in a circle around the friend's picture, when i say "first", i mean highest percentage; when i say "last", i mean lowest percentage)
so check out the results:
me, ali, brian, julius, christine kim, michelle, christine fan, julieann, kristie, andrea, eric, dave ruttenberg, dave hill, rich, rob, cathy, caroline, nana, kaiping, justin, jason, my brother, my mom and my dad.
and now my thoughts on each person:
me: jeff gordon, really?
ali: i wouldve guessed clive owen.
brian: i LOVE how raven symone was #2. hilarious.
julius: he wishes he was as awesome as bruce lee.
ck: in some pictures (not the ones used, of course) samaire armstrong CAN actually look KINDA like christine.
michelle: sharon osbourne. hahaha.
cfan: kim smith was looking pretty wonderful in her appearance as lauren davis, saracen's cheerleader girlfriend on friday night lights, and zhang ziyi has always been a tasty nugget, so id say cfan wins for "best" lookalikes.
julie: julie's new nickname, the pale rihanna.
kristie: a diverse representation for ms ota. a white girl, a japanese male, a rep of each of the major asian nations and a french singer.
dre: stephanie tanner. awesome.
eric: audrey hepburn. hahaha. eric's so pretty.
rutt: the middle initial p now stands for pacey.
hill: aretha franklin. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
rich: not gonna lie, rich looks like none of these people, maybe thats because i picked such an awful picture to use. haha
rob: billy zane and...
cathy: sung hi lee. that has the makings of a good looking couple.
caroline: i dont know who any of those people are.
nana: this camile velasco person keeps popping up.
kaiping: WILT!
justin: heres the proof, justin is superman.
jason: comically one of the best sets of responses, hansbrough, micheal jackson (before he became wacko jacko), will smith, jayne mansfield all rolled into one. freaking goh.
nish: i can just see it now, my brother singing "YEAH YEAH YEAH, living la VIIDDAAA LOCAAA."
mom: well an indian actress made the list.
dad: if this movie were made with this ass cast, vince vaughn as my dad would be SO funny that it might actually make it worth watching. key word: might.
so there you have it. myheritage.com, funny, but not even close to accurate. oh well. so much for a movie cast....
