Well, I suppose you're right, I was a little hard on Tom Cruise.

Malia, you're right! Tom Hanks is a dead ringer for Byron!
Byron wasn't so much a cad as he was alot like Dr. Pepper--very misunderstood.

Only in that
one picture - these don't look anything like Tom Hanks:

Byron famously was very careful in choosing the images for his portraits and the last one in my above post was actually vetoed by him and most of the engravings destroyed because he didn't like how he looked "head-on" so to speak.
He was if anything very vain...

Oh come on now--put Tom Hanks in a turban and give him a fancy little moustache and he'd be a perfect twin for L.B.!
Actually, the first time I made this connection was when I saw the pic of L.B. in the turban.
I just thought it was kind of funny (humorous) resemblance. Hope L.B.'s ghost wasn't offended

I suppose that would be the advantage of painted portraits over photography: pay the artist enough, tell them "Make me look dead sexy," and voila! Hundreds of years later, we're none the wiser

Byron would probably laugh, if anything - he had a wicked sense of humour
