I am watching the pale blue eye and I had to do a double take, AIBU to think Christian Bale is Lionel Messi’s doppelgänger or vice versa?

Any other doppelgängers out there?

Yes.

By the way you measure doppelganger, probably fucking millions.

I looked at some pictures and if you squint a bit... maybe in one of them, you might, at a stretch, maybe think so... ???

But no. Not at all.

CuriousMama · 09/01/2023 22:53

If you Google Messi looks like.... Christian Bale comes up so not just you.

Yes. I had vaguely heard the name but no clue who he was.

Christian Bale played Dick Cheney so I'm not sure that's a slam dunk.

confusedcentral5 · 09/01/2023 23:07

They do not look alike at all

confusedcentral5 · 09/01/2023 23:08

Christian looks more like James Brolin when he was young.

Spenn · 09/01/2023 23:09

They look nothing like each other 😂 neither do the other apparent doppelgängers on that link although this one made me chuckle

Nope only because I love Bradley Cooper and Barry Manilow is ruining the fantasy.
