Separated at birth: Rick Perry, Brawny man

He may reach for the suit and tie rather than the orange plaid shirt, but Texas Gov. Rick Perry and the smiling Brawny paper towel man look like they were cut from the same genetic cloth. Dark, wavy hair? Check. Perpetual tan and square jaw? Check, check.

People have been playing the "Who Does Rick Perry Look Like?" game for a while now. The Atlantic’s J.J. Gould suggested Perry resembles “an *exact genetic splice* of George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan." Then, of course, there were the Ken doll comparisons and a few mentions of Perry looking like an older Taylor Lautner.

Not bad, but we see a stronger resemblance with the Brawny man. Well, the new Brawny man. Before 2003, the paper towel guy looked like an extra for "Boogie Nights."
