If you slap a bunch of years on her. Not even a retouch job can change someone that much.

She's a creationist? Really?

He's messing with your head, Don. Always with the head.

Every time I think you're a grounded, normal individual something like this spills out of your tangential-warren of a mind Mr. V

Well done

That is a painful photoshop.

Not. Shopped.

More like Neil Young. Except for the smile, of course.

Whoa. Not a secret anymore!

Now would you investigate Janis Joplin and Joe Cocker, because I have long thought the two were actually one and the same. (And the fact that both performed at Woodstock cuts no ice with me. Did you ever see a photo of them on stage at the same time?)

That is so faux! You can tell someone diddled with her nose! C'mon.

Just what goes on inside your head, Gerard?

...On second thought, don't answer that question.

Uncanny. They both seem so lifelike, too. . .

Sheesh, Gerard, what has Emma done to you?!

Man, that is so freaky. Stop it.

I'll bet you a Coke. None of that diet crap, either.

Thanks Gerard. You've just spoiled my entirely inappropriate crush on Ms.Watson.

Um...I think I have seen this one before, and it was slightly shopped to make Ms. watson look more like Mr. Dawkins.

Might we see some elderly climate scientists making a similar "transition" for the sake of anonymity?

I read somewhere that she is an avid fly caster and spends quite a bit of time afield....

Ogling the latest paparazzi photos of Miss Watson used to make me feel a little dirty. Now I won't be able to look at her without feeling just plain weirded out. Thanks.

Considering that they found a man from Cheddar who was a direct descendant of Cheddar Man, are you really astonished that someone from the UK would have a family likeness with someone else from the UK?

Sheesh, people. If you go back far enough, we're all related.

Will he change his name to Jeanne?

Cheers

Thought it was a pretty funny joke till I saw the comment where Vanderleun claims it was "Not Shopped."

Get real. It's so pathetic it belongs here!

Not him. His secret Love Child!!!!
If I were Mr. Watson, I'd want to have a long talk with Emma's mom.

Yeah. It's shopped. The eyes, nose, and mouth have been cropped from the Dawkins photo and placed into the Watson photo. Then the wrinkles were smoothed. You can even see a hint of facial hair on the upper lip.

Shopped. Do the cross-eye comparison.

Emma W's overall face has been rotated slightly clockwise relative to Dawkins, but otherwise shows too exact a match in lighting and proportion for mere physical resemblance. The parts that were "diddled" (to use Western Chauvinists's term): the septum of the nose, the (screen) left edge of the mouth, and the (screen) right eye, as well as some added noise and color grading.

I dunno, that would mean this one is shopped too:

ok, its flipped and lower quality, but not sure you can call shenanigans

Now that you can see her original pic, you can easily tell that it's DEFINITELY shopped. Too bad, because the resemblance is striking, even without the obvious "diddles".

This was mentioned on an Emma Watson message board in 2008: http://emmawatson.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=4040&st=0

I agree that based on those two pictures he does look like he could be her grandfather. It's kind of funny because he has never read the Harry Potter books because they talk of wizardy: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/3255972/Harry-Potter-fails-to-cast-spell-over-Professor-Richard-Dawkins.html

Oddly, he enjoys Pullman's books, but that's probably just because the author is an atheist.
