Put Alec Baldwin and President Millard Fillmore side-by-side, and it’s impossible to ignore their resemblance.
One ruled the White House from 1850 to 1853 as the 13th President of the US.
Born in a log cabin to a poor family, a young Fillmore worked on his father’s farm until he became a cloth-maker’s apprentice.
As a child, he received barely any formal education. But he was obsessed with teaching himself, having learned how to read himself during the brutal, almost-slavery-level apprenticeship.
He even stole books on certain occasions before finally managing to borrow $30, buying back his freedom from the cloth maker, and walking one hundred miles back home to return to his family.
Still hungry to learn, an 18-year-old Fillmore began attending school in a nearby town for six months, where his redheaded teacher, Abigail Powers, pushed him to do better.
She was only 19 at the time, barely a couple of years older than him. They took each other as husband and wife a few years later in 1826.
Shortly after his six months of schooling, Fillmore began working in a law office and was admitted to the bar by 1823. He stepped into politics as a member of the democratic and libertarian Anti-Masonic Movement and Anti-Masonic Party in 1828. And as they say, the rest is history.
Meanwhile, Baldwin was born about a hundred years after Fillmore’s presidency came to an end, in a completely different world and a completely different era. Yet their face cards have an uncanny resemblance.
Apart from sharing facial similarities with the 13th US president, the veteran Hollywood actor also has a penchant for being loud with his political views.
Their resemblance isn’t lost on netizens, who have been asking, “So is Fillmore the time traveler pretending to be Baldwin, or Vice-Versa?
“They made the same deal with the devil,” one said.
Another wrote, “There are only so many skins in the simulation. They’re bound to repeat over time.”
