Comments

People don't say they look alike. They say their characters Will Turner and Bard look alike. Which they do. A lot.

[(Anonymous)]

If the OP hadn't included those handy little notations indicating the exact points where they differ, I'd be looking at that picture and wondering if they were the same guy.

Then again, I'm faceblind and have trouble recognizing friends and family, so I'm not exactly the best person to ask about this sort of thing.

They really do.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Granted the styling of those two characters hair and facial hair is similar, but people keep claiming that the actors look *exactly the same* outside that context. I have even seen people saying they sound just the same, which is why I included the voices bit.

I don't know why it irks me so much, I think maybe I feel like people are just dismissing Luke as an Orlando clone before becoming familiar with him and that does a disservice to both of them. Also I secretly think Luke is a much better actor, much as I <3 Orly, and should be given a chance - I just need him to be in better stuff.

This is a secret because - why the hell do I care so much? but I DOOOOO!!!

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I completely relate to getting way too upset about people being Wrong On The Internet in some very small, very specific way, OP. You are not alone.

In this particular case, though, I can't help but think those two guys do look alike. Sorry.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

yeah I know, I'm not saying they're entirely wrong (I mean, I have eyes) but Orlando is my first love and I am unable to be rational about him. Quite often the comments are comparing him unfavourably (like 'Luke is what Orlando would have looked like if male hormones had worked on him')

Luke doesn't have a big fandom yet so when looking for discussion about him you tend to come across these comments really, really frequently, but it was the third time I saw someone saying they *sound* indistinguishable that I noticed my eye starting to twitch.

[silvereriena]

That's what I thought when I saw Bard for the first time. Although I will say he made a better-looking Will Turner to me. XD

[(Anonymous)]

I legit wondered why they didn't just pay Orlando Bloom to play two roles in the film (or just...not shove Legolas in there) if they wanted someone who looked exactly like Orlando-Bloom-as-Will-Turner to play Bard.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep!

The nitpicky little notes (like "cool colouring") are hilarious to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, exactly. I'M moderately face blind and I was watching the DoS trailer with a general feeling of "why does Orlando Bloom play two roles in one movie at the same time" because Will Turner and Legloas are the two only roles I remember him in.
