Almost Famous: Photographer Takes Portraits Of People Who Share Same Names With Celebrities
Troy Goodall, a photographer from New Zealand, has given ordinary people with famous names a chance to celebrate their unusual situation. His new series titled "Almost Famous" depicts some of the world’s biggest names in the iconic poses of their famous namesakes. “They all have such incredible stories,” says Goodall. "From being hung up on while trying to make restaurant reservations, to being stalked outside their hotel rooms on holiday. Living with a famous name is hard!”
The series, made in collaboration with an iconic NZ brand, boasts an impressive cast of A-list names: Ben Affleck from Dunedin, Julia Roberts from Tauranga, Anthony Hopkins from Wellington, Michael Jordan from Kelston, Jackie Chan from Auckland, and Sarah Jessica Parker from Warkworth.

It’s so lame how everyone said something ugly about the celebrity in order to compliment the person in the photo, rather than just being a decent human being and saying something kind about both. People are f*****g dumb.

My name is like this as well, famous Australian actress Isla Fisher because give my name away but it is so funny, repetitive and annoying when I get these kinds of questions Are you named after her, Did you know your name is the same as so and so, You get the idea. It depends what mood I'm in if I like it find it hilarious or detest it. But this is so relatable and funny.
