Now that Jake and Tobey soon will appear together on screen, we could compare them once again (an old tradition in Weirdland!), some of their poses and their similar looks when both started their careers:
"Tetro, written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is the story of two estranged siblings, played by Vincent Gallo and newcomer Alden Ehrenreich, trying to come to terms with the legacy of their famous father. It's not screening in the main competition and unfortunately even the return of Coppola, and the resemblance of Ehrenreich to Leonardo DiCaprio, couldn't save the movie from mixed word-of-mouth, with one person leaving the screening mumbling “disaster” and another saying, “I liked it. I know it's strange, but it reminded me of Guy Maddin.” This may mark the first occurrence of that comparison". Source: www.festival-cannes.comEhrenreich is like a blurred version of Leonardo DiCaprio, but if nowadays Dicaprio resembles another Hollywood hottie, that's Emile Hirsch, the shape of their faces and eyes, their voices and mostly their shared childish charm:
Leonardo DiCaprio and Emile Hirsch, both have german/italian genes.
Emile Hirsch played Speed Racer, whose cartoon animated version was inspired in Elvis Presley:
"To his credit, Speed Racer himself seems unfazed by all the flash and bother.
He's played by Emile Hirsch, who has previously looked uncannily like Leonardo DiCaprio but who here looks uncannily like Ray Liotta". Source: www.npr.org
"Speed Racer is based on the classic 1960s cartoon series created by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida. Interestingly, Tatsuo modeled the hero in the original series, named Speed Racer in the English version of the series, after Elvis Presley and James Bond". Source: kidstvmovies.about.com
"Speed Racer was the translation of the Japanese anime, or cartoon series, Mach GoGoGo. The cartoons were in turn based on a manga, or Japanese comic strip, developed in the 1960s by artist Tatsuo Yoshida, who was obsessed with American popular culture. They were among the first Japanese cartoons to be shown in the United States.
The Mach 5 car was influenced by two popular movies from 1964: Viva Las Vegas,
starring Elvis Presley as a race car driver 
— Speed Racer sports a neckerchief and black Elvis-like pompadour" Source: www.projo.com
