Chinese Celebrity Look-Alikes
by Al Stone, L.Ac. |
Well, Kunming's 3 million people (a mere "berg" by Chinese standards) provide an occasional surprise in the study of genetics. I've, thus far met a few people that bare a striking resemblance to celebrities found elsewhere in the world's great genetic pools.
This page is devoted to Chinese celebrity look-alikes. Stop by every so often, I'll be adding to this page on a regular basis.
Dr. Joyce Brothers Ironically, this is the staff psychologist at the Yunnan Province TCM hospital. I'm a big believer in people's natural tendencies to manifest in their physical appearance. For her to be in the same profession as another famous psychologist lends a great credence to this theory. | |
Tracy Ulman Here's a lady who spent a day with us in the "countryside" to get a better look at rural life in China. She doesn't do characters, no accents that I could tell, and she couldn't sing very well, evidenced by the night of Karaoke that followed the taking of this picture. By the way, does anyone remember Tracy Ulman's album "You Broke My Heart in 17 Places"? One of the songs got some airplay on MTV in the mid-eighties. The video featured some oldies artist named Paul McCartney. | |
Dustin Hoffman This is one of the student interns at the hospital where I'm interning. He always reminded me of a young Dustin Hoffman ala "The Graduate". My Chinese isn't good enough to ask him to model wearing a red sequined gown as in "Tootsie". Maybe next month. | |
John Ritter I met this guy just sitting in an office at the hospital. I think he is an administrator or something. I didn't think at the time to test his prowess for physical comedy, but something tells me that his "spit-out-the-coffee when given surprising news" take would have made John Ritter proud. | |
Garrison Kieler Here's the doctor across the hall from the Bell's Palsy ward. He does a lot of arthritis and "bi" pain. Great spirit to him, really friendly. Speaks some English, too. I couldn't quite explain the whole concept behind the Prairie Home Companion, but I think that the idea of what National Public Radio was got through. |
