so today, i went to church to pick up some kids for a morning of helping out 61st ave umc with their summer day camp. i stopped by the local chick-fil-a for a chicken biscuit and coffee. when i pulled up to the drive thru window the older lady who took my card immediately said "did anyone ever tell you that you look like jack black?" i smiled and responded yes with a nod. i sorta picked up on this a week ago.
i've been told that i remind people of jack black because of a certain look (middle height, somewhat overweight, brown hair) but mostly because of our mannerisms. i say that he's like me, because 1. i think i'm older than him & 2. this is how i am, i am not doing movie characters that act a certain way it's just how i am. this hasn't been a isolated demographic thing either. i've been told this from older women to younger teenage boys of all ethnic ranges... the big difference between today and other times.. i haven't been given the "you look like jack black" rhetoric based solely on looks.
fast forward one hour and we are at 61st ave umc and a little girl comes in and upon being introduced to me she says "you look like jack black." i smile and nod, "i am aware of that." moving into another room with a new set of children one of the little boys (who is that little) comes up and says "you look like jack black." to this i say "yes, that's because i am his older brother." he responds, "cool, i've never known anyone famous before." then he shuffles over to his friends to tell them i am jack black's brother.
so, do i just look like jack black, or is this because i look like nacho libre? eric said i looked like julio iglesias..
