Post #3 - Tom or not Tom

[hils]

Ok, lexalicious70 took me into the hair salon at Wal-Mart because she swore they had a picture Tom Welling on the wall. We looked and it does look an awful lot like him but the hair colour is wrong and his eyes are VERY blue. We decided to open it up to you folks, as our resident Welling experts. What do you think?

Though the resemblance is quite uncanny...

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yeah, when I first saw it I was sure it was him but when I looked again today I wasn't so sure. Maybe he has a secret twin brother *g*

[itsaslashything.livejournal.com]

He's beautiful. He looks exactly like a young John Barrowman to me.

[hils.livejournal.com]

OOH! A mixture of Tom and John would be possibly the most perfect human being ever. LOL!

Although there's a great resemblance, I think the tip of the nose is too pointy and the ear lobes are different.

If his teeth were showing, we'd be able to tell whether or not he had the fangs. :)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! Maybe that's why his mouth is closed, to hide the fangs. LOL!

tell whether or not he had the fangs. :)
snorfle!

Right off, to me, is Tom's bottom lip is fuller, right at the beginning of it, very near the mouth's corner, than the kid's. But, wow - interesting we haven't seen more of this fella!

I agree with mahaliem about the ears and nose. Tom's nose is rounded at the end, this guy's is pointy. And the top of the kid's right eyebrow doesn't dip, right after it begins at the bridge, like TW's does. This kid's brows are more curved, although the ending of their brows is shockingly alike.

Fun!

I don't think so. Something's a little off. Is it the eye color...?

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

Sometimes Tom's eyes look very blue, and sometimes they look green. The hair is different, but I've seen pictures where Tom's hair is lighter than it is now, so it's really hard to say, I know! I've wondered ever since I've been going in there to get my hair cut. If it's not him, than it's someone who looks a lot like him!

[miss-tress.livejournal.com]

Mostly I'm just wondering what the people in the Wal-Mart hair salon were thinking when two crazy girls came in and started taking pictures of a photo on the wall.


And I vote no because he doesn't seem to have the chin dimple.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hah! Well, I'm not from the US, I'm just visiting so I don't care what they think *g*

[there-was-a-boy.livejournal.com]

I think no, but I've seen that pic many times and wondered too at first! :)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! So glad it's not just us

[pepperjackcandy.livejournal.com]

I'm terrible at this sort of thing, but ds said that they're the same, except for the eyes. 8-)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! Looks like we'll never know for sure. LOL!

[lapetite-kiki.livejournal.com]

After looking at many pics of TW that I have from when he was younger and now, I have to agree with Mahaliem, his ears and nose aren’t Tom. The form of the globe of his ear is quite different. His mole of his right cheek is missing, though that could be Photoshop out. And this guy does have a mole close to his ear that Tom doesn’t. ;-)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yup, most people seem to think the same thing. Thanks :)

[herohunter.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA! Nope, but I've seen him before at the hairtylists'!

:D

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! Lexi says you are mean for laughing at her ;)

[eviljade.livejournal.com]

I voted no though it does look quite like him. Based on the eyes I think he looks a bit more like Cillian Murphy.

[hils.livejournal.com]

He definitely has Cillian's eyes

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Nope. Definitely not Thomas.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! Ok! *g* Thanks!

[dm-wyatt.livejournal.com]

What others have said is right on: it's not Tom.

The guy looks remarkably like him, but the ear lobe and the tip of the nose is wrong. Also, Tom's nostrils flare out more....

It's not Tom.

I'm positive.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! Yeah, everyone is in agreement I think

Thanks!

[tariel22.livejournal.com]

Compare the earlobe to this pic:

Tommy

[hils.livejournal.com]

Uh...they look the same to me

*fails*

[sussixer.livejournal.com]

It's freaky how close that is, looks like it could be like his younger brother or cousin or something. The nose seems to angular for it to be his. It would be a little jarring to find that so randomly though.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! Yeah, it could be his brother

[danaid-luv.livejournal.com]

They look like could have easily climbed down out of the same family tree, eh? Well, at the very least, the same orchard.

(I got tired of flipping windows to see em' together) :)

[drbillbongo.livejournal.com]

Heee, I've been thinking the same for a very long time - well, at least about Cillian and Tom. I don't know who the other guy is. ;)

[drbillbongo.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't call myself a Tom expert, but since I've worked as a fanart beta, I think I qualify for this question. The reason for my choice was his mouth, which is anything but Tom Welling's. :)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! Thanks!

[carolandtom.livejournal.com]

It's not Tom.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

I agree that it's not Tom. But the resemblance is uncanny. Just a casual look and I'd think they were related.

LOL Now I'm having all these clone thoughts. *facepalm* You have to quit giving me bunnies for a few days, ok? If you don't, I'll never finish your story!

[hils.livejournal.com]

LOL! Someone tried to give it to me as a bunny and I spanked it and sent it away

[dnellejoy-808.livejournal.com]

hmm... it looks like him, but i don't think he is.

[hils.livejournal.com]

No, I don't either. Thanks though :)

[mynxxdesigns.livejournal.com]

THe only resemblance I see would be the jawline and chin. Other than that, this guys nose is too straight and his bottom lips is crazy huge compared to Tom! Plus, Tom doesn't have blue eyes, they are green although that can be easily changed using Photoshop. Either way, that is not Tom!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yup! Thanks!
