They Tried Look Like Me — Their Surprising Results
Since Look Like Me launched, thousands of families have tested their resemblance. Some results confirm long-held family beliefs. Others overturn certainties that have stood for generations. Here are some stories that moved us — shared with their authors' permission.
"Everyone always said I looked like my mum. I got 71% dad."
Camille, 34, from Lyon: "In my family, it's been absolute gospel since I was little: I'm my mother's double. Same haircut, same nose, same smile. When I took the test with my parents, my mum scored 29%. My dad, 71%. I couldn't believe it. Neither could my mum — she was quite proud, actually!"
This case perfectly illustrates the perception bias we all share: we often see the resemblances we look for, or the ones the family has identified since childhood. The AI's objective score can tell a very different story.
"My adopted son resembles my wife 68%."
Thomas and Sophie, adoptive parents for 8 years: "Our son Leo was adopted at 6 months. People in the street have always said 'he looks so much like his mum.' We took it as a compliment but assumed it was just politeness. When we took the test — out of curiosity and for a laugh — we got 68% resemblance with Sophie. All three of us cried."
Resemblance can sometimes be built: the same mannerisms, expressions, and way of smiling. The AI measures facial geometry, but life leaves its marks there too.
Discover who you really look like

Nadia, 28: "I was given up at birth. I've always wanted to know who I look like. I had an old photo of my biological mother found by relatives. I ran the Look Like Me test using that photo as the 'mother' and a photo of myself. 74%. It's not legal proof, of course, but it gave me something priceless: seeing, for the first time in my life, someone I truly resemble."
We don't recommend Look Like Me as a legal identification tool, but we understand the profound emotional dimension this kind of result can carry.
"The whole family around the table, one Christmas evening."
The Durand family, from Bordeaux: "There were 14 of us around the table for Christmas. My brother-in-law pulled out Look Like Me and we spent 2 hours testing every possible combination: grandchildren with grandparents, cousins with each other, aunts and nephews. It became the funniest and most touching moment of the evening. My father discovered he resembled his 4-year-old grandson by 62%. He still talks about it."
That's exactly the use we envisioned when creating Look Like Me: a tool for family connection, shared laughter, and sometimes unexpected emotions.
