I look like a famous Australian Olympic swimming champion.
I also share his last name.
There is some argument within the family as to whether or not we are related.
At present I presume not to confirm, as it would mean interacting with my immediate family, who have brought me great distress throughout my life.
At the same time, I am convinced that having a likeness to someone, sharing a surname, and having a similar sounding voice indicates it is more than likely he is a distant cousin.
That's enough for me.
Of course everyone in my family swims, and I couldn't imagine not being able to swim - it would be like trying to imagine you were some other kind of mammal, it just wouldn't make sense to me.
That may or may not contribute to my sense of bond with this famous person.

Do you mean Ian Thorpe?

Knightley doubled for Portman in a Star Wars film, didn't she? Supposedly their mothers couldn't tell them apart.

No not Ian Thorpe. Not saying who, as my login is my real first name.

TBH I find everyone with the same or close coloration to be hard to tell apart, be it celebs or people IRL. Change one little thing and I either don't notice at all, or I don't recognize them.
When I do recognize an actor from one movie/series to another, it's usually because of their voice.

Pay no attention to the d-bag on the right. And yes, it was really hard trying to find a SFW photo.
