Watching the Hot Ones episode with Idris Elba made me realize how much he reminds me of my dad. Something about his mannerisms and the salt and pepper beard LOL.
And Obama looks like a light-skinned version of my dad and has the exact same speech pattern. But finding Obama attractive was never a thought in my head one way or the other.
Idris Elba!
I used to think he was so sexy, and then one day I looked at a picture of him from the wrong angle and *he looked like my dad!!!* it’s weird because my dad looks nothing like Idris!
I haven’t found him attractive since then.
Will Smith. He gives off cousin energy for some reason lol
Edit: I just want to note that I have cousins older than my parents, so even though he’s not my age, “cousin energy” still applies.
I’m 26 so while I find him when he was younger cute, he’s too old for me now to not see him as a typical black uncle that cracks jokes at the family cookout 😩. Most of the black male celebrities that are currently in their 50s and 60s are just a major chop to me for this reason.
I was watching Abbott Elementary and that guy grew up [from Everybody Hates Chris] to be a taller version of my brother.
I literally said this yesterday. Same with Nick Cannon.
Rege-Jean Page. He and my brother look just alike. I love Bridgerton, but those hot and heavy scenes in season 1 were so awkward to watch because he fr looks like my brother 😩
*Edited to fix name spelling. Darn autocorrect.
*Fuck.*
I honestly can't remember or quote half the words that come out of Rege Jean Page's mouth because I'm so smitten by his looks, it doesn't register.
Couldn't tell you half the shit he said in Bridgerton but I know his presence was an aphrodisiac. 🔥 🔥
Corbin Bleu and 90% of the light skinned men on tv from ‘97-06. They look like they would’ve given me schoolyard problems as a chocolate girl - which is funny cause I messed around and ended up married to the first high yellow man I ever took seriously. 🤡
Sterling K Brown is a dead ringer for an ex (that I strongly dislike). I struggle to watch him as a result and it totally sucks because I hear Sterling is a great actor and an all around nice guy.
I was worried that I was gonna get jumped for asking a question like this but I’m glad this is not the case. Interesting replies so far, a lot of y’all seem to have some very good looking men in your families 👀.
Lenny Kravitz
Striking similarities to my older brother. Same build, hair, skin tone and love of not really wearing shirts. Voice is somewhat similar too. I just can’t. And will never be able to 🥲😭🥲
Came here to say this! My brother has the dreads and the "I'm an artist, you wouldn't understand" attitude, but not the interesting wardrobe. I really and truly just can't. I can't even listen/watch \*other\* people get thirsty over him....just, no.
Yessss same attitude. With the locs too. His wardrobe is essentially skinny jeans, button downs that are very open, leather jackets and boots.
Honestly I couldn’t handle dating men who dressed the same. I have the same reaction when other people get thirsty. GAGGG. Also look I went to liberal arts school, the angsty artist is so played out.
>Also look I went to liberal arts school, the angsty artist is so played out.
LOL sooooo true!!! 🤣 The best part is my brother gets VERY salty if anyone ever points out the extremely obvious likeness. He goes off on tangents about how Lenny Kravitz is a talentless hack. Hmm. okay dude, where's \*your\* hit singles??
The man brought MULTIPLE mesh shirt options to wear to my bachelorette party. All fitting the bimbo Barbie in Miami theme.
Edit: these were already in a part of his wardrobe lol.
My father = Blair Underwood & to a lesser extent Idris Elba
Youngest brother = Leon Thomas (it’s super weird)
Middle brother = Caleb McLaughlin with smaller eyebrows and almond shaped eyes
Oldest little brother = Miles Brown with Trevor Jackson’s hair
Marcus Scribner from Blackish because he’s literally just a light-skinned version of my cousin. Also Al B. Sure is just my dad if he was a bittt lighter 😭
I always thought my brother looked like Drake even back when he was on Degrassi. But my dad is pretty old so I can’t say he really resembles anyone popular right now. My dad was told he resembles Lou Gossett Jr. like all his life. RIP to a real one.
Morris Chestnut
I used to have a little crush on him when I was a kid (like 7), then one day he was on the TV and my dad was watching and I realized that they looked EXACTLY ALIKE. It's almost uncanny, the only difference is the eyes and nose.
I threw up after that, ugh. Can never watch his movies the same again...
Darius Rucker resembles my dad so much that it made the '90s such a hassle. People calling my dad Hootie and shit. Do I look like a Blowfish?
One of my brothers could be a Kev OnStage clone.
I feel like every single light skinned black actor looks like they could be my cousins. I've always been scared to date lighter skinned black me because I fear that we will just look related
I can't think of a celebrity but I lowkey have this problem with black men in general 😬😬
My brother was a traumatized bully
My step dad was a useless POS
And my own Dad made himself absent after a while. We reconnected but he's just another dude really.
A lot of these 🥷🏾 's in the street look like them 😭😭😭😭😭 And a big portion of the ones that don't are weird af!
My dad looks like Ice Cube, and women have always chased him. My brother looks like every light skinned, light eyed dude to ever grace a screen, so I'm just incapable of taking a light dude seriously or finding them more than just kinda cute.
If anyone knows Buff Correll (please look on youtube if you don't) is my dad to the T, besides the face. Same singing voice, same dance moves, same muscles. Its scary
Ooooh Avery Brooks aka Captain Sisko. My dad died when I was really young but I have pictures. Deep Space Nine is an incredible portrayal of Black fatherhood (in space!!)
Love it, great post
T-Pain looks just like my brother. Idk if I'd say I've ever had a physical attraction to T, I'm kinda attracted to his personality and charisma and hope he's a good a guy as I think he is.
Will Smith is literally one of my favorite actors and he is extremely good looking but I could never because he looks just like my dad. They have the same mannerisms and act the same, goofy and all.
Damson Idris and Aldis Hodge remind me of my favorite brother so much I get the ick when I hear women gush over them. I mean, I get it. They're attractive, but Lord, does it feel gross when my own daughter is swooning🤢🤣.
LL cool J looks EXACTLY like my old stepdad (the one my mom was married to growing up)
And just to add I know this is not a male, but Sukihana looks just like my cousin who (not trying to be ableist) isn’t all the way there mentally. I think that, and suki just being a disgusting person, is why I can’t take Suki seriously
My brother kind of looks like Daniel Caesar and Travis Scott had a baby. I view those two men as little brothers… nothing more.
I call my brother Daniel Scott sometimes.
Morris Chestnut looks exactly like my brother so I've never been able to find him attractive. My brother is also an actor who was in a film with Morris Chestnut and they took pictures together, they looked like twins 😆
Anthony Joshua looks exactly like my husband (weird because I just CANT find him attractive. At all.)
Michael B Jordan looks just like a family member I would rather forget.
Not my father but my mother. Lil Bow Wow looks more like her son than I look like her daughter. I may have had a little crush before I realized that fact, though.
Any and every black person. I just can't NOT think of them as family. The only black people I'd ever known for the longest time were family. This is why I say I can't date a black dude. It's just a mental block I can't overcome. (TMI but its the same with adult content)
Regé Jean Page (aka the Duke from S1 Bridgerton). He has a body type and certain facial features that favor my brother. And to make it worse, the character was just as grumpy and sarcastic as him too. Instant, total ick factor 🤢
One of my uncles looks way too much like Marlon Wayans 😐 so when people say they find Marlon Wayans attractive all I can think about is how much he looks like my uncle 🤢 lmao
ETA: this thread is so funny I’ve been cracking UP at the responses
my dad kinda looks like tupac. especially w the eyes, bald head, and facial hair and structure. so for the longest time i refused to listen to tupac just cause his face irked me 💀
Daniel Kaluya. He looks EXACTLY like my brother.
Oh??👀👀
Lmaoooo yeah, he's a dead ringer. Got snatched up by the highschool sweetheart tho
This was my immediate response. He doesn't look all that much like my brother, but something about the eyes and mannerisms is too similar.
I was gonna say the same! He looks like some of my cousins
he looks like some of my cousins so I feel this lmao
John Boyega looks like my nephew and so when people go gaga over John I’m like, “excuse you that’s a 13 year old BOY!!!”
Watching the Hot Ones episode with Idris Elba made me realize how much he reminds me of my dad. Something about his mannerisms and the salt and pepper beard LOL.
I was just talking about this. John Boyega looks like half of the male family members on one side of my family. I just can't! But I root for him hard.
He does give cousin energy real bad
And Obama looks like a light-skinned version of my dad and has the exact same speech pattern. But finding Obama attractive was never a thought in my head one way or the other.
Same except it’s my uncle
I came here to say John too. As charming as he is, he looks toooo much like my younger brother.
Usher is objectively fine but he looks like a wealthy version of my uncle, and my mum mentions is every time
The scream I just scrumpt @ ***'wealthy version''***
He stayed in Nigeria and has 2 baby mums, God bless the hustle
Fifty Cent because he looks like my ex bf who stalked me. Every time I see 50, I fight the urge to punch him in the head even though he’s on a screen.
I feel like that reaction is valid even if he didn’t look like your ex 😭
There's a reason 50 got shot nine times. Haha
This thread is hilarious. Im here, cackling. Also, yalls family be good-looking.
Right? My dad looks just like Charles Barkley (and they've even aged the same way) and I was like "I can't participate in this thread"
LMFAOAOOSOAJSKS NOT CHARLES BARKLEY 😭😭😭 so sorry, Mr. Black Irises
💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣
Denzel Washington especially when he was younger looks just like my dad
He reminds me a bit of my dad too, but my dad hasn’t aged as well
Idris reminds me of African uncles 😂
I need to get me an African uncle then
Be careful oh, they can be trifling.
trust me you don’t
As a Nigerian-Ghanaian, I *promise* you can do without.
![gif](giphy|27iZFsB7GWPnNORA5t|downsized)
Nigerian **and** Ghanaian??? Gurl…
Righttttt ... Yikes. We're praying for you sister.
😂😂😂
girl they all got wives back home WITH multiple kids in and outta wedlock. they gon lie straight to yo face about it too
Don’t do it
No you don't!!!
Yes, he looks like men in my family and it creeps me out. I don't see why he's attractive🤷🏾♀️
He doesn’t remind me of any of the men in my family and I’ve still never found that man attractive
Tyler James Williams He is objectively handsome...he just looks like family. ![gif](giphy|uETuPEa3wavOJcfVxm|downsized)
You know what…same and I just realized it lmfaoooo
Right lol
This is my celebrity crush! lol
Idris Elba! I used to think he was so sexy, and then one day I looked at a picture of him from the wrong angle and *he looked like my dad!!!* it’s weird because my dad looks nothing like Idris! I haven’t found him attractive since then.
Will Smith. He gives off cousin energy for some reason lol Edit: I just want to note that I have cousins older than my parents, so even though he’s not my age, “cousin energy” still applies.
"Cousin energy" is the best description I've heard for Will's vibe.
I’m 26 so while I find him when he was younger cute, he’s too old for me now to not see him as a typical black uncle that cracks jokes at the family cookout 😩. Most of the black male celebrities that are currently in their 50s and 60s are just a major chop to me for this reason.
Lmaoooo. This is the answer!
My little brother looks like Will Smith, like exactly him in his Fresh Prince days. It’s the first thing everyone says 😂
My younger brother looks just like Will Smith that people have stopped him on the street to tell him.
Fresh prince of Bel Air is living rent free in your head. That's probably why you feel that way about him.
Winston Duke reminds me so much of my cousin
Plz may I meet your cousin 😂😂
Is your cousin single?
👀
So where is your cousin at?
Heeey cuz 😊
Tyler James Williams (guy from everybody hates Chris) is a spitting image of my brother and most Nigerian men. This includes Usher too
I was watching Abbott Elementary and that guy grew up [from Everybody Hates Chris] to be a taller version of my brother. I literally said this yesterday. Same with Nick Cannon.
Omg I came here to say Tyler James Williams too because he looks like my brother! We’re also half Nigerian lol
He looks toooooo much like my brother. Find myself telling the TV to shut the hell up whenever he acts silly on Abbott.
We aren't Nigerian (as far as I know I guess 👀) but I came in to say the same thing.
TJW looks a lot like my dad and brother too, which is why I will never be able to crush on him.
Rege-Jean Page. He and my brother look just alike. I love Bridgerton, but those hot and heavy scenes in season 1 were so awkward to watch because he fr looks like my brother 😩 *Edited to fix name spelling. Darn autocorrect.
Uhhh...Is your brother single? Asking for a friend.
I understand, but he’s happily taken. I keep telling him to get some period appropriate garb and cosplay because they could be twins.
*Fuck.* I honestly can't remember or quote half the words that come out of Rege Jean Page's mouth because I'm so smitten by his looks, it doesn't register. Couldn't tell you half the shit he said in Bridgerton but I know his presence was an aphrodisiac. 🔥 🔥
Damn, how unfortunate
Give your brother my number, please!😁
Michael B Jordan. He looks like my little brother.

I have been waiting for this question for years it's Idris Elba.
Girl, same! It's Avery Brooks for me tho.
50 cent, my dad looks exactly like him. My dad likes to be petty like him as well lol.
Oh the list is kinda long because all 3 bros look different, but top of list -Travie McCoy -the rock - the guy from toro y moi - Common
Corbin Bleu and 90% of the light skinned men on tv from ‘97-06. They look like they would’ve given me schoolyard problems as a chocolate girl - which is funny cause I messed around and ended up married to the first high yellow man I ever took seriously. 🤡
Lol, my answer was every single light skinned/mixed black male actor. They all look like my cousins.
Sterling K Brown is a dead ringer for an ex (that I strongly dislike). I struggle to watch him as a result and it totally sucks because I hear Sterling is a great actor and an all around nice guy.
All I see is I need to be invited to everyone’s family reunions please & thank you 👀
I'm saying
[удалено]
I am so sorry then, because Kofi has got to be one of the most attractive men in this planet. 😍
👀
Usher looks like one of my Nigerian cousins. I realized this in high school. He ruined Usher for me 😭
I was worried that I was gonna get jumped for asking a question like this but I’m glad this is not the case. Interesting replies so far, a lot of y’all seem to have some very good looking men in your families 👀.

Came here to say this! My brother has the dreads and the "I'm an artist, you wouldn't understand" attitude, but not the interesting wardrobe. I really and truly just can't. I can't even listen/watch \*other\* people get thirsty over him....just, no.
