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).
Vic Sotto (with Nikki Gil) on the cover of Bannawag (December 15, 2014),
George Clooney on the cover of People (May 12, 2015),
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.

and Jet li on the cover of Inside Kung-Fu (October 2004)

 
          Is Alden Richards a look-alike of John Lloyd Cruz? Well, here’s looking and believing.
John Lloyd Cruz (with Angel Locsin) on the cover of Bannawag (February 2, 2012)
and Alden Richards on the cover of Inside Showbiz (October 2015)

  
          This one is very much fascinating and intriguing. I need not say more, just take a look.
Robin Padilla on the cover of Esquire Philippines (February 2017)
and Johnny Depp (as Captain Jack Sparrow) on the cover of Rolling Stone (July 13-27, 2006)

          They say Sarah Lahbati looks like Angelina Jolie. Take a look at Lahbati’s two magazine covers and compare it to Jolie’s. Judge for yourselves.
Sarah Labahti on the covers of Yes! (March 2011) and Esquire Philippines (November 2016),
and Angelina Jolie on the cover of Premiere (October 2004)
 
          Many are also saying that KC Concepcion looks like Jewel Mische or vice versa. Again, compare their cover pages and ponder.
KC Concepcion on the cover of Metro (April 2011)
and Jewel Mische on the cover of UNO (December 2008)


          Here are two beautiful, sexy and athletically fit ladies with a very similar look and outlook, Sam Pinto and Iya Villania.
Sam Pinto on the cover of Total Fitness (October 2010)
and Iya Villania on the cover of Health Today (February 2012)


          A comparison of exotic beauty and sexiness, Ryza Cenon and Kylie Verzosa.

and Kylie Verzosa on the cover of Mega (June 2017)

          The lips, the nose, the suppliant, inviting eyes, even the eyebrows, quaintly, both ladies, like seeing twins, have the explicit allure that can make any hot-blooded man succumb to desires. Coincidentally, both ladies landed on the covers of 10 Magazine eleven months apart.
Sheree on the cover of 10 (November 2004)
and Vanessa Khain on the cover of 10 (October 2005)

          Again, the lips, nose, eyes and brows speak for themselves, plus that perfectly endowed bumpers, and the coincidence happened, this time on the covers of Metro, and similarly eleven months apart.

and Ellen Adarna on the cover of Metro (April 2017)
