Sheer joy as Assange cut loose

In continuing my obsession with celebrity resemblences, and in light of Assange’s new spiky white frosting, I am delighted to bring you: OMG, Julian Assange looks just like Rutger Hauer from Blade Runner.

Is Assange making a deliberate comparison, a shrouded clue as to his next move?

While getting his cheeky new number, did he whisper to the prison barber, ‘Give me a Hauer’?

Will he take revenge and murder his father (look out Australian theatre director Brett Assange)?

Or will he merely watch attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion (still no mean feat)?

Hauer’s Roy from Blade Runner was intelligent, fast, strong and skilled at combat, and yet underdeveloped emotionally.

I suppose Assange is smart enough and has had an unconventional upbringing and life (and you can’t get more unconventional than Replicant).

Holy shit, Assage is a renegade Nexus-6 replicant! Well that was a totally unexpected but undeniably true conclusion.

Best bring Rick Deckard out of retirement again.

The uncanny resemblance that no one is talking about

I can’t get over how much Rove McManus looks like Harry McNaughton (who plays Gerald Tippet, Shortland Street’s asexual pin-up boy).

There can be no doubt that they are identical twins, no doubt whatsoever:

'Say hi to your bum for me'

'Say hi to your bum for me'

As for similarities beyond their identical dna… they’re both snappy dressers, both in the ‘industry”.

And what’s more, they’re both gay.

My evidence? I found a comment in a forum that Harry McNaughton is gay. And I saw a Rove episode where his ‘girlfriend’ Tasma Walton mentioned that he is a neat-freak and puts his rubbish out at ungodly hours of the morning so that people can’t stick stuff in his bin.

Also, there is the small issue of Rove’s knitted flesh-coloured nude suit worn when Bruno appeared on his show:
