        Sorry…all others are interesting answers, but not correct. I had to smile at some of the answers. I am sure that the actual persons in the images would have loved the compliment based on what you say they were… smile

          Hi Daisy,

          Sorry, that is not correct. This one is difficult as the person is laughing in the picture and their eyes are therefore not really naturally formed.
          I will give a hint: He is in lots of action movies. whisperI hope I did not give it away now!

          Sorry guys, Bruce Springsteen, Twiggy and Steven Seagal are not correct.

          It seems like this puzzle turned out to be more difficult that I initially intended. I will be providing some ‘easy’ clues to their identity.

          Here goes:

          #3 – He is a famous guitarist who had a son called Conor
          #4 – Born and raised in Arkansas, had a brother called Jack and has the nickname, “The Man in Black”.
          #7 – Starred in the popular Australian soap “Neighbours ”
          #11 – Himself and a son are movie stars. also known for his cleft chin
          #12 – Initials are WHN. Arrested in 2006 for cannabis possession
          #13 – Had movie roles with names such as John and Hansel

          Hope these help a little grin

              I wasn’t sure it was an oversight or an incorrect answer.

              whisperYou seem also to have missed post 689,706 even though it was asked about in post 689,733 (and again in post 689,916 after Jezza posted the same answer in post 689,768 ).

              You even seemed to have ignored him when he (correctly) pointed out in post 689,962 that he had the answer to #4 before Jezza….
