There is an uncanny resemblance between some football hotties and Hollywood heartthrobs. While some football hotties look absolutely like some of the Hollywood stars, some share their personality traits.
Stephen Lichsteiner and Sam WorthingtonDon’t they look like Kumbh ke mele mein bichchde hue bhais? The 30-year-old Swiss defender is very much in the news, and so is the Hollywood actor who hogged the limelight in the film Avatar.

Giovani Dos Santos and Bruno MarsThe Mexican forward is known for his boyish charm, and the singer enjoys a tremendous fan following. There is a semblance in personality-speak, and they do look a lot like each other, we’d say!

Robin Van Persie and Marlon BrandoNot exactly lookalikes, but the Dutch forward’s alacrity on the field and his appeal gets him close to a young Marlon Brando. Van Persie certainly has the charm which the Hollywood legend is known for.

Claudio Marchisio and Kirk Douglas
The Hollywood legend’s look in Lust For Life quite matches with that of the Italian midfielder. Coupled with it is Marchisio’s on-the-field killer instinct. It’s sheer coincidence, of course.

Frank Lampard and Liam NeesonThe 35-year-old England team’s midfielder can be easily mistaken for a younger version of Liam Neeson. A sprinkling of salt and pepper streaks in his hair and some wrinkles make Lampard resemble the Liam that we see now.
Gerard Pique and Liam Hemsworth Liam’s stubbled look matches that of Spanish defender Gerard Pique. Also, both have been in news for their relationships. Gerard is Shakira’s boyfriend, and Liam, for his on-off relationship with Miley Cyrus.
Luis Suarez and Adam Sandler Luis Suarez’s on field antics and his red card incident during the 2010 World Cup made the entire football world make comparisons with Adam Sandler’s stint in Anger Management.
