To think this actor looks the spitting image of a young Prince William?

[closetheyeesoneandtown]

The actor that plays him in the Crown, it's been in the news recently as they are filming scenes in St Andrews.

The Crown fans freak out over ‘uncanny’ resemblance of Prince William actor Ed McVey (yahoo.com)

I think he looks nothing like him apart from he's got the same colour hair

Not really. Sorry!

no

Nope

Not at all.

Yes, from a distance with your eyes half closed on a cloudy day.

Well they’re both around the same age, same hair colour, and white. I wouldn’t even put them distant cousins though!

No!!

They have different lips and bone structure, they look nothing alike and I can't tell people apart. Eg in love actually I can't tell any of the 4 men apart so no idea what happens.

are you having a giraffe?!!

With all due respect please book an appointment with your optician.

Not at all!

Should have gone to Specsavers OP.

Have you been to specksavers recently?

They look nothing alike

Why are the press making out they look so similar?

Not really, although they're the same type.

For clicks. As people post it everywhere like here to discuss it and be like wtf no he doesn't etc

I can see a likeness yes.

They look completely different from each other. They wouldn’t even pass as brothers never mind the same person.

There is quite a resemblance to a younger Prince William but nothing to get too excited about!

This i guess.
Actor looks a bit like person he is playing doesn't really have the same ring

I do see it. But also see some Brad Pitt in there.

PR puff piece.

The PR office for the programme write a little press release saying “fans can’t believe XYZ” and supply photos, the newspaper then prints it as it has free copy and doesn’t have to pay a journalist to write anything.

All of those quirky “29% of women love eating crisps on the loo, a survey said today” articles are also planted by PR officers. The survey is often a show of hands in the office, or certainly used to be ten years ago when DSIL worked in PR.

There is a slight resemblance but spitting image? Definitely not.
