BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Celebrities I Can't Tell Apart: #01

Celebrities I Can't Tell Apart: #01


For today's installment, I bring you Catherine Zeta-Jones and Salma Hayek. Both beautiful, exotic-looking brunettes, Salma is 38 and was born in Mexico; Catherine is 35 and was born in Wales. I've never been able to tell these two apart, but compounding my current confusion is an upcoming movie role for Catherine. She's starring in a new Zorro movie (why?) with Antonio Banderas. They made another Zorro movie seven years ago, and if you'd put a gun to my head yesterday I would have sworn that film starred... Salma Hayek. See because Zorro is set in Mexico, and Salma is Mexican, while Catherine is English, or something very much like it. Adding to my dilemma, I saw the last two Desperado movies, which were Western-style films set in Mexico that starred Antonio Banderas... and Salma Hayek. So really, if they made a 4th Desperado film with Antonio and Catherine, and a 3rd Zorro with Antonio and Salma... who would notice?

Here are a few pictures of the ladies just to illustrate my point. I'd say which was which, but hell, I don't know. Isn't that the whole point of this post?






Comments:

To be honest, I can sorta tell now, with the images side by side. Salma's got a shaper nose and that adorable little vertical slit of a belly button. Catherine has rounder apple cheeks. But that's when the pics are side by side; when I just see a glimpse of one of them on TV or in a photo... err?

I'd still like to know how a Welch woman can play a Mexican/Spanish role and get away with it, but I guess Hollywood operates on the theory that any woman without blonde hair and with somewhat of a tan is perfectly appropriate for any ethnic role.


 

I must say that I've never even thought these two were alike, but i can admit that I haven't seen zeta-jones that much. Hayek's distinct appearance and silly (oh, i mean "sexy") accent, makes her very recognisable for me, even in total darkness ;)


 

Cathy looks sexier to me.


 

I couldn't agree more.


 

I think the only noticible difference is that Salma seems more willing to get naked for the camera.


 

Salma is the one with the giant rack (see: Frida) who can't play a role that doesn't allow for her thick Latin accent as she apparently can't clean it up.

Catherine is Welsh (Welch is grape juice) which is very different from being English (ask anyone from the UK) despite Wales being located inside England. Catherine is the one married to that disgusting fossil who's older than her father.
