LOOK-ALIKES ON THE COVERS


        Browsing through hundreds, no thousands, of magazine covers, I found similarities of how the covers were presented, the angles, the features, and of course the persons on the cover. Yes, the persons on the covers that seemingly the mirror image of another – look-alikes.
        Since my high school days, I ostensibly developed some kind of mental retentivity. Recalling things that I have seen is a part of this. Using this ability, I tried collecting the images of magazine covers with similar features. Believe me, there are many.



          Vic Sotto, the “Bossing,” looks like a cross between two Georges: George Clooney (probably more at present with the older Sotto) and George Harrison (minus the mustache when Sotto was younger).

and George Harrison on the cover of TV Guide (December 29 – January 4, 2001)


          One is a legend in pocket billiards and the other in martial arts. Except for the lines in the forehead, Django Bustamante can certainly mimic a move or two of Jet Li, with a cue stick instead of a sword.

          Is Alden Richards a look-alike of John Lloyd Cruz? Well, here’s looking and believing.

          This one is very much fascinating and intriguing. I need not say more, just take a look.
