Oooh focal length. I was like "those hair are not 20 mm" for a moment.

It's important to note that it's the subject distance that's the primary factor, not the focal length. The focal length is secondary in that it dictates how far you would be to achieve the given framing. If you shoot the picture at 200 mm from the example and then without moving you shoot again at 20, you'll have the same perspective, just way smaller subject in the frame; if you then crop in the picture shot at 20, you'll have the same framing too, just way less pixels.

If you're half a metre away from the dude's nose, you'll be roughly 60 cm away from his ears (20% more distance), but if you're 5 metres away from his nose, you'll be 5.10 m away from his ears (only 2% more distance) - and this is what creates the difference in apparent sizes of the facial features relative to one another.

I don't know these guys, so I went and did some research, and it wasn't until I was neck deep in an article on a theory about them being the same person that it finished off saying that the Wikipedia page for Childish Gambino redirects to Donald Glover.

Nice one.

I read somewhere that people in Asia won't tilt on things like eye or hair colour being different immediately since their so used to black hair/brown eyes that they just filter it out and use other cues.

This also means that people who look identical to say a European are considered to look nothing alike.

I can't tell them apart because I only have 1 Donald Glover friend. I guess I need to get to know more of them.

I couldn't find a polite way to ask him to introduce me to more Donald Glovers.

Almost bought tickets to see CG. Then I heard Glover was also showing and I was confused. Why is a comedian opening for one of the most provocative rappers today? I'll wait til streaming so I can fast forward an hour til the real show.

To be fair it looks like he lost a lot of weight in the second picture. Or he had surgery idk.

Huh, I never knew the word for it. Thank you.

My wife has said many times, to me and others, that she thinks I have a form of face blindness. I don't think I do.

It came up because every time someone said something like "doesn't X look like Y when they were little?", and I'd respond that I don't see it. So many people say my kids are a splitting image of me... Nope, I don't see that.

I recognise people I know in photos, new or old photos, usually without issue.

I do however often think an actor is someone they aren't. "Hey, is that the person from this other movie", my wife: "what?! No! They don't even look alike". And sometimes I'll ask her if a random person looks like this or that person, usually with the same response, sometimes a strange look and "are you feeling ok?".

Anyway, these guys should team up on a project. /s

I think I also must have face blindness. My wife says that my son is my spitting image, but I think he kind of looks like the postman. Face blindness for sure.

My wife has said many times, to me and others, that she thinks I have a form of face blindness.

I wonder about myself sometimes.

I have a really hard time recognizing someone if the context changes unless I know them fairly intimately. If I see someone I work with every day at the grocery store I will have no problem recognizing them. If I see someone who I wave to in the building when we pass, but who I rarely if ever interact with, I will really struggle to notice that it's someone I know. I've run into my son's teachers (who I generally at least see every day during the school year even if we don't interact) and had 30 secs of panic before I could click into place who I was talking to.
