I watched The Theory of Everything and I must say that Eddie Redmayne not only looks like Hawking, but also managed to play him so perfectly
20 Actors Who Played Famous People in Movies and the Resemblance Is Uncanny
To be an actor is to make the audience believe that the characters you play are as real as the audience is. But what’s more challenging is to portray a real-life figure that almost everyone around the globe knows. It can take an ocean of effort to find an actor who would be able to dive into the stories of a famous person and amaze us with their talents once more.

Now I want to watch Midnight in Paris! ?
I wouldn't say Rami Malek resembles Freddie 100%, but he has managed to show the vibe of Freddie, and that's what makes the film so amazing
I found his pretty similar to Freddy. Maybe a little bit skinny, but it doesn't really matter, because his acting is just perfect and you don't notice anything bad during the film
I dont see the resemblance in #10, but the others are dead on.
Also Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison
Without a doubt
where is ashton kutcher in jobs?!
The best resemblance I’ve seen is when Colm Meaney played the part of football manager Don Revie in The Damned United. I genuinely thought they’d digitally edited the real life (but deceased) Don Revie into the movie.
Marcc Rose as Tupac // Straight outta Compton
No Benicio Del Toro as Che?
