Look-Alikes

Our friends over at radio station 93.1 KISS FM in El Paso, Texas recently came to shocking realization -- their engineer, Dave, might have been in the Walt Disney classic 'Beauty and the Beast.' And if not, then he's definitely the real-life incarnation of the animated movie character.

J.K. Rowling was an unknown struggling writer when she came up with the Harry Potter universe. And when she wrote it into book form, it became one of the greatest rags-to-riches stories in publishing history. But what if Harry Potter didn't really come from Rowling's supple imagination? What if Hogwarts was based on an actual real-life school for wizards, making Harry Potter essentially non-fictio

Some of us can't imagine there being a real-life version of Helga from 'Hey Arnold!' walking around in the world. Remember how her bossiness, crazy mood swings and constantly loud voice -- which is probably where the show got it's name ("Hey, Arnold!") -- drove us all to madness? Guess what? There's actually someone out in the world who's pretty much an exact replica of this cartoon char

Michael Jackson may be gone, but his memory lives on in this amazing silicon bust created by sculptor Jordu Schell. This thing is so lifelike that we half expect it to break into 'Billie Jean.'

Elijah Wood is a handsome fellow. Albeit in a Hobbit-ish way. (Which has served him quite well, clearly.) But some things can't be unseen, and after taking a look at this weirdly cut-up photo of the 31-year-old, we're not sure if we're going to ever be able to view The Wood the same way again.

Think of everything that describes the cartoon cat Garfield. Fat. Orange. Loves pizza. Fat. Lazy. Funny... Fat. Now imagine that there's a cat in real life that embodies most of these qualities and what you get is Orazio, the fattest cat in Italy.

It has been said that Michael Jackson modeled his unique look after music legend Diana Ross. So maybe it shouldn't be that surprising that there is a woman in the Ukraine who looks a lot like the late King of Pop.

James Franco likes to keep us guessing. Whether it's hosting the Oscars (badly), playing a recurring role on a soap opera or simultaneously pursuing graduate degrees in just about every subject available, the 33-year-old does all kinds of offbeat stuff that most actors of his stature wouldn't even attempt. And for his latest trick, he is channeling Britney Spears' notorious ex-husband/former rappe

While many other cartoon characters have living, breathing counterparts in real life, fans of Homer Simpson have had to content themselves with this lifeless (but admittedly Homer-esque) 800-year-old carved stone head, which was recently unearthed in a garden in Scotland. Until now.

The fine folks at Groupon are offering a 13-day ocean voyage with an extensive deep sea tour of the site where the Titanic wreck lays for the price of $12,500. If that sounds a bit steep, keep in mind that the package's "value" is $59,870, and it also comes with a 'Titanic' DVD signed by Frank Lloyd Roberts. Frank Lloyd Roberts, you are probably wondering, isn't that the architect? No, t

Now that a woman in Nebraska may have netted $8,000 for a Chicken McNugget that looks like George Washington, the race is on to find the next item of food which resembles someone famous. And we have an earlier leader. A piece of popcorn that looks like Garfield. If you don't see it at first think angry Garfield, and it will come to you.

Chewbacca is the true man's best friend. In 'Star Wars,' he always had Han Solo's back, even when they were about to be shot in the head by a bunch of stormtroopers. He's the tough fur ball with a heart of gold, so it's only natural for someone to want to create their own real-life version, which is what happened to this dog.

As Apple unveiled its new iPad, the Twittersphere exploded when a user in Pittsburgh spotted someone who looked like the late Apple CEO sitting at a bar and working on a laptop. Before you start with the "Steve Jobs walks into a bar" jokes, check out the full photo below.

We've come across too many real-life representations of cartoon characters to count, but this one may be the greatest ever. Prepare yourselves for a man who looks exactly -- and we mean exactly -- like Carl from Disney-Pixar's fantastic film 'Up. '

During this week's episode of 'Parks and Recreation,' some viewers were treated to a commercial for a local furniture restoration store with a mustachioed man who looked suspiciously like Ron Swanson. No need to get your eyes checked. You weren't seeing double.
