The Smylosphere is all agog right now over Henri Hurskainen, the Swedish badminton player who bears a striking, perhaps even creepy, resemblance to the Sedin twins, particularly Daniel Sedin. Their shared country of origin and athletic inclinations make the resemblance even more startling. Hurskainen was even born in the same month as the Sedins, though it was admittedly 6 years later.
It got us thinking about what other things and people look like Daniel Sedin. And when we get to thinking, we get to sharing/inflicting those thoughts on you, our loyal readers. Here are 15 things/people that look like Daniel Sedin:
1 | Henri Hurskainen
We had to start with the guy creating all the fuss. Unfortunately, Hurskainen has lost both his group stage matches, which means his Olympics is over.
2 | This creepy thing on Etsy
3 | Phillip from this Terrance and Phillip homage to the Sedins
4 | Cory Schneider
5 | This custom designed Matt Murdoch Mighty Mugg
See, Matt Murdoch is the Marvel comics superhero Daredevil from the alternate reality of 1602, which was a comic by Neil Gaiman, where Captain America travelled back in time, sparking the Marvel age of superheroes nearly 350 years before it was meant to begin and you know what, this is super-complicated, forget it.
6 | Stefan Raab, German TV host
7 | This Canucks fan
8 | Max Modell, Peter Parker’s current boss
9 | Alexi Lalas
10 | A red panda
11 |Ben Foster, sometimes
12 | A Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey
13 | An onion
14 | This guy
15 | Henrik Sedin
BONUS: 1 thing that doesn’t look like Daniel Sedin
The official licensed Daniel Sedin Bleacher Creature

July 31, 2012Stick a cricket bat in Bleacher Creature Sedin and it’s a dead ringer for Simon Pegg in Shaun of the Dead, though I’m pretty sure Pegg never supported that goofy of grin in SOTD.

July 31, 2012wieger van wageningen; professional skateboarder could be another sedin.

July 31, 2012Oh my god, how on earth do you guys know about Stefan Raab?!

Check out the resemblance.

July 31, 2012Proud to be #14. This has Aidan Brand written all over it, but since I can’t get in touch with him to find out, I’m still holding out hope that it’s Smylosphere coincidence.
Daniel Wagner
July 31, 2012Totally and completely a coincidence. An awesome coincidence. Google Images is a strange beast.

July 31, 2012Know what’s really crazy? I look even more like Marian Hossa.

July 31, 2012And people were complaining that Smug Nation wasn’t making an appearance this summer… #14 with a bullet, is co-founder Tyler Rowe. Where’d you find that?

July 31, 2012Left Henrik, right Daniel? Did I pass the test?
Kenji
August 1, 2012Left Daniel. I think. I can tell them apart in side by side photos but not in real life. I was on an elevator with a Sedin at the Scotiabank cinema a couple of years ago. I thought it was Henrik, I wanted to say hi and congratulations on the Art Ross but wasn’t 100% sure. If it was a year later I could have mentioned the Art Ross for either!
Kenji
August 1, 2012Oh, and Left Daniel referred to picture 11. Right Daniel in picture 15. I think.
