If you’re anything like me you’ve probably seen people or pictures of people from the 20th/21st century and thought they resembled someone from the war. I thought why not start a thread where we can share these resemblances? Post your favorite modern (or modern-ish) doppelgänger of someone from the mid-19th century!

I’ll start with a perhaps controversial one. No one I know agrees with me on this, maybe I’ll find a sympathizer here (either that or confirm that I am indeed crazy :frantic:).
I’ve always thought that in certain pictures (not all!) the actor Jake Gyllenhaal resembles John Bell Hood. Perhaps strange, but my contribution nonetheless!

Ah! I think you've got Meade there! :D


It was a toss up between Meade and Butler. I almost went with Meade but I kept posting Meade's picture then deleting it. It was the droopiness and bags under the eyes of both Schiavelli and Butler that determined my final decision.

Jude Law is another one I always thought would be a good Forrest! He's got the dramatic eyes and eyebrows, plus he's fairly tall. Think he can pull off a chin beard better than the rest of the candidates!

Can anybody put Jude Law and Forrest together? Still getting my sea legs on this new computer!

YES! I mentioned Gyllenhaal's resemblance to Hood on a previous thread a while back. I think people tend to forget just how young John Bell Hood was during the ACW.
