Because maybe they're really triplets!?!
The guy on the left competed on the Swedish badminton team at the recent London Olympics. His name is Henri Hurskainen. Many sports commentators noticed that he's a dead ringer for the Sedin Twins.
But Henri is 25 and the Sedins are 31, so they can't be triplets. But perhaps Henri is a long-lost younger brother? I guess only Mom and/or Dad Sedin knows for sure . . . . But if nothing else, these guys' resemblance sure demonstrates the prevalence of similar traits in the Swedish gene pool, doesn't it?
Tomorrow -- Reason #3 -- the best one of all!
that is rather remarkable!
ReplyDeleteThey say we all have a double in this world. In this case, it's a triple.
ReplyDeleteMary
yep thats amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the third guy should try out for hockey! He might be good at it!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Pretty neat! Still digging the gingers! :)
ReplyDeleteSweet Swedes!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's creepy. I love my hockey, so I'm definitely familiar with the Sedins.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, even their facial expressions. Quite uncanny!
ReplyDeleteWOW
ReplyDeleteThat is quite remarkable. The resemblance is uncanny. Perhaps they are related. Very distant cousins?
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing... WoW!!!
ReplyDeleteHe really could be a long lost brother! Wouldn't that be a great story...holy cow!
ReplyDeleteHe bears a remarkable likeness. Never thought of the Swedish as being gifted with red-heads!
ReplyDeletelol@deb ;)
ReplyDeletehenri is a finn, living in sweden, from his name: hurskainen - obviously french first name
likely from french in russia, sharing a border with finland...
sweden and finland share an island, located between them... where they've intermingled for centuries
yes, many finns live in sweden and vice versa, even if they are are of different heritages: finns being finno-ugric; swedes, teutonic
i have family in both countries; none on the island i know of
dee dee deee dee♫
ReplyDeleteperhaps he's a cousin...... or maybe they need to expand the gene pool in Sweden :>)
ReplyDeleteI had a crush on this boy when I was younger. I saw him walking and giggled with my best friend at the time, then he walked by AGAIN... I looked my friend and wondered how he moved so fast. Then, he walked by a third time and it was impossible. I found out my crush was part of a set of triplets :P
ReplyDeleteHey Debra, I think it's just the beard.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time telling gingers apart in general, to be honest.
ReplyDeleteOooohhhh....Doppleganger......
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd I heard that 'red hair' gene is on the demise......will not survive too much longer. Not so in Sweden I guess!
