He looks like Ellen Degeneres.

It's the little bits to the side where it's been sliced with gay abandon - looks like he's actually wearing the face, rather than being superimposed.

Oh, and Hobbit, yeah, right, yay?

The picture is creepy. With the touch of stretch face, he looks like Sean Astin.

James McAvoy. It must be McAvoy.

That picture is freaky, by the way. I almost didn't even realise it was a Photoshop.
