For me I would have to say Ron Howard. We are about the same age, and at any age, you could have put him in our family picture, and although he wouldn't quite pass as my twin, he could at least be my brother. He would not look out of place in the picture.

With Moore, I think it is the smile.

Abolishinist
(3,053 posts)but a pic of him at age 30 is not far off from me at the same age. That said, since those moments in time, I must say I've aged much better, and my wife is not a mermaid.
Really!

Sounds like you won the good genes lottery.

(43,528 posts)people in my family look like actors. My two brothers visited me together and we walked the streets of Manhattan sightseeing. People were visibly jarred by the three of us. That's because one brother looks like a young Tom Selleck and the other looks like Richard Gere.
When we went into restaurants or bars, we would get immediate service and tables by the window. Some young girls followed us for a while, laughing and giggling for blocks.
My grandfather/mother's side was a dead ringer for Dean Martin.
My uncle looks like Cary Grant (father's side).
My mom is a cross between Jackie Kennedy and Rosalynn Carter.
My dad was a drop-dead handsome guy when he was younger but turned into a kinda' weird looking geezer as he got older. His brother "Cary" stayed handsome to the end, though.

NBachers
(19,572 posts)As I was walking down Madison Avenue, I walked through a construction zone. One of the guys guarding the zone said Hey, you look just like Jack Nicholson! I turned around and said, Yeah, I get that a lot. Its my Jack Nicholson hairline. He said, You do! You look just like him! I took a few more steps and then turned around and said, "Actually, I really am Jack Nicholson." I walked away the guy's yelling "Hey wait a minute, really?? No!!"
