Woah, so similar, who's it actually supposed to be?

 

It might be a different perspective of this bust of the Emperor Claudius

On edit: scratch that; I was looking at the face and laurel wreath and ignoring the toga & shoulders, which are clearly different. I guess it could be a younger bust of Claudius, but who would've bothered carving him as a younger man, when he was undistinguished? Unless it was a deliberately flattering one made when he was older... arrgh...

 

Are there any specialists in Ancient Roman statuary on the Muse.mu board? :D

Sure. It's Augustus wearing the corona civica. Made out of marble, early first century. You were heading in the right direction with the whole "flattering" thing, though. This was made when he was old, but the officially approved way of depicting him was as a young man. This particular bust can be found in Munich, at the moment.

 

Here's another angle of it:

Haha. I didn't tell anybody that I thought Matthew Bellamy looked like Christian Bale either until recently.

 

Now I want to watch The Dark Knight again. I love that movie!

 

I thought there was something about Christian Bale that reminded me of Matt too. Christian Bale is fit!!:D

Not really, but I remember seeing a statue of Augustus in Art History and I kept thinking, "Man, that looks just like Matt." :LOL:

I remember seeing a band a few years ago (I think they were called The Departure) and the bassist looked SO MUCH like Matt :

I dunno if you can clearly see the similarity on this pic, but I remember seeing him and telling me "I have Matt Bellamy in front of me"

Peter Facinelli (might have already been done); I think it's the nose or something and the eyes. It also depends with Matt's weight.
