I can recognise faces :)

78% Normal
22 Comments

I find it really easy to recognise the faces of actors and can usually name another movie they've been in. If I recognise a face in a movie and can't put my finger on what else they've been in, it bugs me so much that I can't really concentrate on the film. It doesn't usually take me long to get it tho.
Although I have looked it up on www.imdb.com before when i really couldn't get it. Is it normal to make such a sport of this?

    Yeah, this is pretty normal. I never forget a face and my husband and I will watch a movie and brain storm where we have seen actors that only get bit parts.

      It's probaly more normal than we know. I've had a thing for the strong big male hand since I was a kid. I don't know where this came from but apparently it is here to stay. Call me weard if you wish. That is your oppion.

    Recognizing actor's faces? Child's play. If I met you today & didn't see you again for 20 years, I'd probably recognize your face. Then it would take me a minute, but I would eventually place you face & remember when we met. No joke.

    Totally normal! I can memorize people' first and last names and everything thinks it's scary! It's like, I meet them and they tell me their full name and I remember it. I can also remember faces like you said.

    You're a freak of nature that should be taken out back and shot in the face

    That's normal, as long as it doesn't take up all of your time. Human brains have a department that stores human faces. So it's probably that part of your brain that ads to the normal curiosity of who it may be.

    Yes I'm british. It's not as bad anymore 'cos my girlfriend get's annoyed. It still bugs me quite a lot though. I'm not Obsessive about anything else that I can think of. It get's really bad if it's just me, my Dad and my bro watching a film though.

    I find that very, very annoying. Whenever I watch some film with a particular friend of mine or my brother and they tell me about some shitty bit part actor who most people wouldn't give a crap about it pisses me right off.
