If there is one thing the Academy loves that makes an Oscar more than a given for an actor, it is, definitely, physical transformations; as an example we have Jared Leto in ‘Dallas Buyers Club’, Marion Cotillard becoming Edith Piaf for ‘La vie en rose’and more recently to Joaquin Phoenix in ‘Joker’, however, when we talk about unconventional similarities, we have to refer to actor Billy Zanewhich has become an almost perfect clone for the next biopic of a great Hollywood legend.
You will surely remember him as the arrogant upper-class gentleman in the film ‘Titanic’ alongside DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, however, now Zane will have the opportunity to test himself in front of the camera with a leading role that will not leave anyone indifferent, and that is, it will have the responsibility and the great weight to become Marlon Brando for a biographical film which is already underway.
Through the Internet, some photographs began to appear in which, they claim, the actor’s resemblance to the film legend who died at the age of 80 due to pulmonary fibrosis is impressive, so much so that many claim that the white image and black that has been published on X (formerly Twitter) could be Marlon Brando himself.
It will be your moment Brendan Fraser
As we mentioned at the beginning of this post, The Academy loves sacrifices on the part of actors to be able to impersonate a celebrity, and in this case it will be no exception, since Zane’s resemblance to Brando has left us with our mouths open, and not only in his face and hair, in which there seems to be no intervention of a prosthesis, but also in his bodily transformation, since Billy Zane’s physique is truly similar to Brando’s.
Although it is premature to talk about Zane being awarded an Oscar just for seeing two photographs (which never cease to surprise us), the truth is that this great return to the screen will not go unnoticed, and, as many predict, Brendan Freser’s achievement of winning his first Oscar will be repeated after being away from acting for a while.
