I don't agree about Will Smith, Morgan Freeman and Sissy Spacek. And I also don't agree (very much) about Helen Mirren either, but it doesn't matter: Helen Mirren is on my Top 10 female performances of all times. (Rami Malek is just a cosplay)
Will Smith as Muhammad Ali? You've got to be kidding. Of all the biopics, Ali was the worst. Also, Kurt Russell was a better Elvis than Austin Butler. Stopped watching the Luhrman garbage about 30 minutes in.
Jamie Foxx's Ray Charles was.........my goodness. It was like watching the man himself. Jamie captured Charles's mannerisms and everything. It also didn't hurt he already knew how to play the piano.
These photos are also a testament to the skill of hair and makeup professionals. Latex prosthetics, under padding, and time-appropriate undergarments along with period perfect costumes contribute to a stellar actor's portrayal of a historical figure. It takes a whole team and a lot of iterations to get it just right.
Yes, but there was a lot of prostethics involved!The people shown here wore just make-up and very little prostethics, If any! The acting was good, though!
Nor should anyone ever even have dignified that overrated copycat and phony by ever even having tried. Even PRESLEY HIMSELF never looked like Presley!!!
Yes, apparently he was so convincing that when former members of the band were on the set they almost confused him with the real thing. What a shame he did not even receive a nomination for his performance!🤨I'm a big fan of his acting; I don't think he ever got the recognition he deserves, as Morrison or otherwise.
Как это не похож, если у одного и у другого был одинаковый цвет кожи! Конечно этого достаточно. Если даже Белоснежка имела такой же чёрный цвет кожи, как и Снежинка.
Yes, but ALL actors are getting hair and makeup done, and there's still a difference as to who is playing a role. If hair and makeup are decisive, the Winston Churchill interpretations of Gary Oldman and Timothy Spall, for instance, would have to be considered equivalent, but this is clearly not the case. It's always a synthesis between the actor and the role.
What about Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in “Mommie Dearest”, Taron Egerton as Elton John in “Rocketman”, Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos in “Monster”, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote in “Capote”.
Theron…yes! And although Hoffman’s performance was so outstanding that you believed he was Capote, they didn’t really nail the look. At that age, Capote was much more handsome/cute/slim than Hoffman was.
@@kerensabirch5214Sorry, I thought she was hopeless. "Evita" needs a very versatile voice. She has to variously sound like she's seducing the most powerful man in the country, shouting down her staff and opponents, addressing 40,000,000 people in a city square or venting her cold hatred on the oligarchy, before facing her own death and thinking back on her life choices. Madonna managed ok on the slower, gentler numbers, but never really sang or acted well enough to convince as the most powerful woman the Americas had ever known. And Jonathan Price was hopeless too. I've enjoyed other performances of his, but here he looked Peron viewed in the wrong screen ratio, acted like an irritated bank clerk and sounded like a half strangled ferret. But, y'know, we all have different opinions.
At any rate Rami looks a lot more like Freddie Mercury than the actor they originally intended for the part; as I've heard, Sacha Baron Cohen was in talks for the role for a while but this fell through because he did not like the script and the overall direction of the movie.
Wow! A lot of these were spot on! Some were close enough, & a small hand full were like "nope". But I like how you did the side by side comparison @ a good speed w/o all the idle chit-chat. Also, too many videos like this put extra info on the screen that we have to pause, read, & look, over & over. In my opinion, this was made ssooo PERFECTLY!
@@RFED2O How bout Kurt Russel or Dale Midkiff?. lol Actually you know what, Andy Kaufman..Even Elvis himself said that Kaufman came closest to being him...But I think Elvis was talking about the voice and the mannerism lol
You dropped the ball on Will Smith looking like Mohamed Ali. He just looks like someone who's going to use his ray pen and remove your memories. And Anthony Hopkins doesn't perfectly resemble/represent Alfred Hitchcock either.
Bruno Ganz also nailed Hitler's mannerisms and that is very important. In the movie Cromwell Sir Alec Guinness not only had the look of King Charles I but also had his stammer enacted perfect i am willing to be that Alec being a perfectionist as an actor did his historical research

Everyone can look like Hitler a bit if you put mustache on a do hair a bit...But Bruno don'r look like real Adolf, there some older movies where actors look more alike...Adolf...
Jon Voight as Saint Pope John Paul II, Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison, Meg Ryan as Pam Courson(Morrison's girl friend), the guy who played Ray Manzurik(from The Doors), Taron Edgerton as Elton John, I could go on and on!
There was also Gary Busey as Buddy Holly in “The Buddy Holly Story”, Joaquin Phoenix & Reese Witherspoon as Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash in “Walk The Line”, Jessica Lange as Patsy Cline in “Sweet Dreams” and Frances Farmer in “Frances”, Beverly D’Angelo as Patsy Cline in “Coal Miner’s Daughter”, Ingrid Bergman as Golda Meir in “A Woman Called Golda”, Ann Jillian as Mae West in “Mae West”, Faye Dunaway as Eva Peron and James Farentino as Juan Peron in “Evita Peron”, Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn and Kate Beckinsale as Ava Gardner in “The Aviator,” and Esther Goris as Eva Peron in “Evita Peron: The True Story”. And there’s Tammy Blanchard and Judy Davis as Judy Garland in “Judy Garland: Me And My Shadows”, and Renée Zellweger as Judy Garland in “Judy”. In 1965, two films about Jean Harlow were released, both titled “Harlow.” The first film was released by Magna Corporation in May 1965, and starred Carol Lynley. The second film was released in June 1965 by Paramount Pictures, and starred Carroll Baker. In 1975, Roberta Collins played Harlow in the rhythm-and-blues band Bloodstone's pop musical movie “Train Ride to Hollywood.” In 1978, Lindsay Bloom portrayed her in “Hughes and Harlow: Angels in Hell.” In 2004, Gwen Stefani briefly appeared as Harlow at the red carpet premiere for Hell's Angels in Martin Scorsese's Howard Hughes biopic “The Aviator.” And don’t forget Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi in “Ed Wood”.
Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, Edie Redmayne as Steven Hawking, Jamie Fox as Ray Charles and Denzel Washington as Malcom X- the most amazing resemblances.
For me it took a while to see Freddy in Rami, because of the big blue eye of Rami, versus Freddy's smaller brown ones. He did play him well, great film. A lot of the actors got it right. But not all of them. Great too see the spot on look a likes.
My Favourites are Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking, Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth 1st, Michael Douglas as Liberace, Rami Malek as Freddie, andJoe Mazzello as John Deacon and Gyilym Lee as Brian May are the most mind blowing.

Everyone can look like Hitler a bit if you put mustache on a do hair a bit...But Bruno don'r look like real Adolf, there some older movies where actors look more alike...Adolf...
Adrien Brody looks just like Adrien Brody. It's uncanny.
Also, Leonardo DiCaprio playing Howard Hughes in The Aviator (2004). Looks just like him, especially during the courtroom scenes at the end.
No, he looked like Leo DiCaprio.
Jon Voight as Saint Pope John Paul II, Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison, Meg Ryan as Pam Courson(Morrison's girl friend), the guy who played Ray Manzurik(from The Doors), Taron Edgerton as Elton John, I could go on and on!
Kyle MacLachlan played Ray Manzarek
Bohemian Rhapsody really nailed it for all of them. They brought back the heroes of my youth.
Except Freddie. Rami Malek doesnt fit at all
@@ioanapopoiu1457 I agree. I would've killed for Sacha Baron Cohen to get the part.
Daniel Day Lewis is incredible, in all of his roles.
Geoffrey Rush as Peter Sellers....
James Cromwell as HRH Prince Philip......
Steven Seagal as an arsehole......
Lol 😂
😂 Mr. Seagal played that role perfectly.
@bobblueford Yes typecasting at it's best. 👍😅
Stephen should of won an Oscar because he nailed that part
Daniel Bruhl as Niki Lauda was perfect…
best is jamie foxx, and geoffrey rush
Nobody could ever be or look like Elvis presley
Rob De Niro / Al Capone is perfect. Speech to the crew at the dinner table scene is amazing and deathless.
There was also Gary Busey as Buddy Holly in “The Buddy Holly Story”, Joaquin Phoenix & Reese Witherspoon as Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash in “Walk The Line”, Jessica Lange as Patsy Cline in “Sweet Dreams” and Frances Farmer in “Frances”, Beverly D’Angelo as Patsy Cline in “Coal Miner’s Daughter”, Ingrid Bergman as Golda Meir in “A Woman Called Golda”, Ann Jillian as Mae West in “Mae West”, Faye Dunaway as Eva Peron and James Farentino as Juan Peron in “Evita Peron”, Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn and Kate Beckinsale as Ava Gardner in “The Aviator,” and Esther Goris as Eva Peron in “Evita Peron: The True Story”.
And there’s Tammy Blanchard and Judy Davis as Judy Garland in “Judy Garland: Me And My Shadows”, and Renée Zellweger as Judy Garland in “Judy”.
In 1965, two films about Jean Harlow were released, both titled “Harlow.” The first film was released by Magna Corporation in May 1965, and starred Carol Lynley. The second film was released in June 1965 by Paramount Pictures, and starred Carroll Baker.
In 1975, Roberta Collins played Harlow in the rhythm-and-blues band Bloodstone's pop musical movie “Train Ride to Hollywood.”
In 1978, Lindsay Bloom portrayed her in “Hughes and Harlow: Angels in Hell.”
In 2004, Gwen Stefani briefly appeared as Harlow at the red carpet premiere for Hell's Angels in Martin Scorsese's Howard Hughes biopic “The Aviator.”
And don’t forget Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi in “Ed Wood”.
Michael Sheen as Tony Blair was close.
He did a good Brian Clough as well.
Steve Railsback as Charles Manson, Andrew Robinson as LIberace. They were both amazing.
You mean Garak?
you missed Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf in the movie "la vie en rose" in 2007.
Yes......she was amazing in that film, especially near the end she looked hauntingly like Piaf.
Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, Edie Redmayne as Steven Hawking, Jamie Fox as Ray Charles and Denzel Washington as Malcom X- the most amazing resemblances.
Oh, and also Daniel Day Lewis as Abe Lincoln and Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford.
For me it took a while to see Freddy in Rami, because of the big blue eye of Rami, versus Freddy's smaller brown ones. He did play him well, great film. A lot of the actors got it right. But not all of them. Great too see the spot on look a likes.
My Favourites are Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking, Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth 1st, Michael Douglas as Liberace, Rami Malek as Freddie, andJoe Mazzello as John Deacon and Gyilym Lee as Brian May are the most mind blowing.
Helen Mirren was Queen Elizabeth II.
Resemble, yes, but in many cases definitely not "perfectly"....
Dont forget Harrison Ford in Raiders of the lost ark. He totally looked like Indiana Jones!
Oldman is unmatched in changing looks!
Clark Kent would perfectly resemble Superman if it wasn't for those darn eyeglasses.
