Have any of you tried the face recognition software at myheritage.com? It's quite good for a laugh. Ran a pic of Neil through it and the top match for him was.....
Next closest matches were Terence Stamp, Hugh Heffner and Uri Gellar!

I put 2 photos of me into the system. The first came up as John Travolta while the second came up as the guy who plays Harry Potter!!!! I can't really see the comparison between Neil and Hugh Grant!

Ivan looks more like Chris.
I put Chris there and got Bertrand Russell.

I never noticed the similarity between Neil and Hugh Grant before but I have to admit, it's there!
Of course, our Neil is FAR, FAAAAR more handsome!
I used to think Neil looked like Holly Johnson when he was in his Americanos phase.

It's kind of bizarre. I tried it with 3 different pictures of myself, browsed all results and they were all completely different and extremely diverse. Both Ruud van Nistelrooy (Dutch football player) and Colin Powell (former US minister) were among my results. I'm a blonde-haired, rather pale guy, so the outcome is prettty ridiculous.
Around 1990, I always thought that Neil and Holly Johnson looked a bit similar, btw. And U2's The Edge is also looking a bit like Neil, nowadays...

Actually, I've just realised, Holly looks a bit like Sneaky Snake in my avator too!

Pffft, it couldn't find any faces to match. Well, shows the uniqueness of M'sieur Tennant!

I was going to run Chris through the My Heritage software, but got bored of looking for a picture of him minus cap and glasses!
I look like Beyonce apparently. Hilarious! If only...

Holly Johnson looks a f*** state there! Sack the stylist.
I always thought Neil looked like a cross between John Hannah and Noel Gallagher.

Probably not the best pic of Neil to use for facial matching...
