George Clooney lookalike in Kilkenny!

wilkie2006

Thanks to the regional press, George Clooney's doppelgänger has been located in Kilkenny! Hurray!

http://www.kilkennypeople.ie/news/local/local_actor_crowned_clooney_lookalike_1_3437380#.TypcpcnpoOo.facebook

A LOCAL actor beat off stiff competition to be crowned ‘lookalike’ to Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney and will get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend the Oscars in Los Angeles in March.

The resemblance is fcuking uncanny (he's the guy on the left - like I had to tell you that, though!)...

Any boardsies look like anyone famous? I've been told I have a dash of the Colin Farrell and Shane McGowan to me; I'm a little ride, so I am.

Wait, I thought that actually was George Clooney.

His father has some explaining to do!

Duckworth_Luas

I look more like Lady Gaga's ballsack than he looks like George Clooney!

yupyup7up

ya hes the head off him if you cover over his head with a poster of George Clooney

JerryHandbag

Looks a bit more like Steve Buscemi to me...

BBDBB

Keyzer

Who chose this? Stevie Wonder?

Tipperary: :cool:
Kerry Condon, Thurles
Patrick Bergin, Cloughjordan
Martin Sheen [mother from Borrisokane]

Kilkenny
Worst lookalike ever :rolleyes:

Rhyme

And that's Gary Neville and Tim Roth's lovechild in the back yeah?

SEPT 23 1989

Well they are both white which is where the resemblance ends

JupiterKid

He looks f*ck all like Mr Clooney. More like Dave Fanning with A dodgy combover if you ask me.

Havermeyer

Surely it was, in fact, a Rick Astley lookalike competition, and we all just got rick-rolled by the Kilkenny People. No?

I looked at the picture first and then had to read the article to see who won the award.

They all the as much of a resemblance to Cooney as my hairy arse.

I was once told George Clooney hasn't a patch on me, then her Labrador bit me.

It'll be gas when Clooney does his tour of Ireland and is introduced to this guy!

Triangla

It took place in The Dylan WHISKEY Bar, the hint is in the title.

Clearly whiskey goggles were on

He will faint and believe he has met his long lost twin.

I never really got the George Clooney buzz, I think his films are very hit and miss, but this new one does look interesting.

Do you have a penis? If so, thats why you don't get the Clooney buzz.

When put into perspective you can definitely see the similarities.

For example, the runners up

Second Place
Third Place

Deserved win imo.

Nothing like beating off some stiff competition...

Is this a piss take?

How drunk was the person judging this? rofl has to be the worst lookalike ever

JupiterKid

So it's actually the fella on the right? He looks about as similar to George Clooney as I do to Michael Fassbender (which is pretty much not at all)...

This has to be a piss take.

Precious1

Hmmmmm....don't see it. lol

foxyboxer

Wow, that's Uncanny. Or Unclooney if you will.

:rolleyes:

the awkward moment when you aren't sure which ones supposed to be Clooney....

phasers

Is the lookalike hiding behind that ugly balding fella?

kingtubby

Does anybody think they would have been better giving the man on the right the award for being a Richard Dawkins look alike?

Hahahaha funniest post i've seen in ages

Kevin Duffy

It's all a big misunderstanding. It's a G. Clooney lookalike competition alright and in fairness, the winner is the spit of Gerry Clooney, the bachelor farmer from Kilkenny who sometimes drinks in Langton's in his Christmas jumper. He's no relation to George Clooney the actor.

FlashD

:D Great post lads, thanks for the laugh.

Must be the eyes,a

What're the odds that the your man will end up on The Late Late Show with that dcikhead, Tubridy, fawning all over him:

"God, well it's great to have you on. It's just amazing... the resemblance... wow. Doesn't he look great, ladies? You must have people asking for your autograph all the time? And tell me, what age were you when you realised you had this power?"

Several international newspapers covered it as well. The poor clown really made a big eejit out of himself, I'd say he regrets entering the thing.

I don't know which one of the 3 in the OP is meant to have been the winner... lol.

I actually thought it was supposed to be the fella to the right in the photo at first.

LETHAL LADY

Sher he is the nearest thing to George Clooney living in Kilkenny the rest are more Marti Feldman.

JJayoo

The other guy looks like Bertie

Guy:Incognito

The thing to remember with these things is that you dont have to look like George Clooney to win, you just have to look more like him than the others that enter.

KKkitty

I'm from Kilkenny and can I officially apologise on behalf of all of Kilkenny people for this. In fairness all we see is hurleys and sliotars so judgement was clearly blurred. Again my apologies.

EdenHazard

Is this an unfunny joke? The dude is balding, pale and ugly.

Yes, exactly how you will look someday.

He'd be an acquaintance of an acquaintance of an acquaintance (etc!) type thing and I'm pretty sure he was happy out with the whole thing. Sure I suppose he's getting a trip to Hollywood out of it. Not worth the piss-taking imo but maybe he's more thick-skinned than many others.

Miss Lockhart

TBH he's as much like George Clooney as any of the contestants on that celebrity impersonater show on Living TV.
