Will Furrell

Comments that she looked like Will Ferrel came in quickly – despite her human parents never seeing the resemblance.
One comment read: “That dog looks more like Will Ferrell than Will Ferrell”
Another said: “Oh dear god, it’s the spitting image!”
“It’s not even the fur it’s his eyes!!!!” added a third.
Daisy, a hairdresser in Plymouth, Devon, said: “The Will Ferrell comments started coming in thick and fast as soon as we posted the video.
“We realised it wasn’t just one persons opinion, but thousands saw the resemblance instantly.”
“We love how much it’s made everyone laugh and how people have even given her the nickname ‘Will Furrell,” she added.
Now a star herself, Peach has millions of adoring fans, but she’s not the only dog that has been compared to Hollywood celebs.

Richard Barkson
One person’s pet has left internet users stunned after they realised he looked identical to the 73-year-old British billionaire Richard Branson.
The canine has captured the heart’s of thousands as one person posted him on Reddit, writing: “My friend’s dog – he has a hairy wise old man’s face”.
Despite not being the owner of 400 companies worldwide, the dog had the same serious business-like face as the co-founder of Virgin Atlantic.
One user said: “Who are we kidding? It looks like Richard Branson, CEO of Virgin.”
Is it true dogs look like their owners?
According to research by Michael Roy at the University of California, San Diego, dog owners tend to go for dogs who have similar features to them.
The psychologist put his idea to the test by going to three nearby dog parks, he photographed the pooches and the owners separately, and then asked a group of participants to try to match them up. Despite no additional cues, he found that they were able to work out who lived with whom with reasonable accuracy.
And the test has been repeated many times since with the same results.
According to the research, owners with long hair tend to go for dogs with long, droopy ears and even go for similar eye shapes.
It honestly looks exactly like Richard Branson – I see no difference between them, at all, whatsoever,” another commented.

While this dog can’t rap, it sure is a celebrity in it’s own right as one of the world’s first influencer’s, Jenna Marbles, pooch.

One meme which showed Kermit smiling went viral with many revealing he looked exactly like the music star.
Sharing a picture of the uncanny similarities on Reddit, one user wrote: “Snoop DOG.”

One said: “I laughed longer than I needed too. Everyone in my class looked at me…”
“Yes, this is Snoop!” added another Reddit user.
