I AM NOT INSANE
I am consistently accused of being unable to recognize similarities between faces. So when I remarked the other day that the promo poster of Johnny Depp as the Creepy Technicolor Mad Hatter looked like it was Elijah Wood, people totally blew it off.
But there are REASONS for my insanity! See, look at that image. The way Depp's face is made up makes his face look squarer, yet with deeper cheeks and more prominent cheekbones, than he usually does (note that the face looks a lot longer & thinner). But those are definitely traits of Elijah Wood's face, especially when you consider that I mainly know EW from LotR, and his eyes were heavily shadowed in a lot of that epic (think especially the gaunter shots towards the end, or when he's on the horse with Arwen, although google image searching is not being my friend for a good example there).
But the REAL clincher is that little gap in the front teeth. Yeah, baby -- Johnny Depp doesn't usually have one, but you know who does? That's right.
Can my visual-cue-recognition skills be vindicated now plz??
