Collectively, celebrities are widely regarded as the most attractive people in the world. There are some however, that do not fit this bill and are rather peculiar looking. Others are outright ugly, and then there is a special niche that so few fit into: the celebrities that resemble various animals. The following is a list of the most striking examples of these types of celebs.

Jamie Hyneman – Walrus

(source 1, 2)

The Mythbusters guy is probably one of the most obvious examples, but it is interesting to note that not only the whiskers are similar – but, the discoloration and bloating are as well.

Adrian Brody – Toucan

(source 1, 2)

Brody’s acting prowess goes without saying after his performance in The Pianist. He does, however, too much like a toucan to ever become a serious leading man in Hollywood.

Seal – Seal

(source 1, 2)

It’s not just a clever name.

Sarah Jessica Parker – Horse

(source 1, 2)

The muscly best on the left looks an awful lot like the muscly best on the right. But, the most striking resemblance, has to be in the face. It is a wonder how she ever made it past her staring role in Annie.

Snoop Dogg – Doberman Pincer

(source 1, 2)

This one is just so easy. Snoop looks exactly like a dog. Perhaps, also not just a clever name.

Steven Tyler – Bearded Dragon

(source 1, 2)

Steven Tyler is one of the strangest looking lizards in the world, its the lips – especially the top one – that are a deal-breaker.

Tina Turner – Chow

(source 1, 2)

Tina Turner got a lot of attention for her legs and ability to perform. She deserves some attention for how much she looks like a chow, too.

Donatella Versace

(source 1, 2)

Donatella Versace (Right), looks an awful lot like the Ostrich.

New York – Golden Retriever/Cocker Spaniel Mix

(source 1, 2)

New York has the face of a dog, so she is lucky that her body is near perfect.

Prince – Miniature Doberman

(source 1, 2)

Aww look, they both have little vests. And they probably both spend a lot of times just shivering.

Victoria Beckham – Bobcat

(source 1, 2)

They are both fierce-looking, beautiful and never smile.

Rainn Wilson – Bald Eagle

(source 1, 2)

Ever since U.S. version of The Office became a hit, life has become a little bit more bearable for all the caveman-headed, bird-looking, middle-aged men out there.

Renee Zellweger – Bunny

(source 1, 2)

Renee Zellweger is either the most attractive bunny ever, or the strangest looking woman ever, or a combination thereof.

Jack Nicholson – Green Lizard

(source 1, 2)

Look at this guy.

Owen Wilson – Hawk

(source 1, 2)

In a way, you have to take your hat g off to the Hollywood star that forgoes rhinoplasty, but bare in mind, they will end up on lists, drawing comparisons to birds.

Bjork – Spider Monkey

(source 1, 2)

Can’t you just imagine watching this monkey (either) sing about dancing pixies and smile clouds?

Flava Flav – Chimpanzee

(source 1, 2)

The only difference between these two are: gold teeth, nine kids, imposable thumbs and a sideways hat.

Josh Hartnett – Golden Retriever

(source 1, 2)

Ever notice how Josh Hartnett has those weird, stoned eyes that dogs always have too?

Jon Heder – Beaver

(source 1, 2)

This “Napolean Dynamite” guy here is one weird-looking dude.

Dog The Bounty Hunter – Lion

(s0urce 1, 2)

It is rumored that Dog has grown his hair out in effort to be as intimidating . What he hasn’t managed to do is cover up the huge bald spot with anything better than his current comb-over. The king of the jungle, on the other hand, never has to worry about this.

Jack Black – French Bulldog

(source 1, 2)

Both Black and the dog look like they walk around on their face.

Joaquin Phoenix – Brown Bear

(source 1, 2)

Jaoquin Phoenix has done a good job at transforming from himself from a Johnny Cash impersonator, to a drug addict bear with huge pupils and a strange hair accessory.
