Fidel Castro died and people won't stop talking about Liam Neeson
After former Cuban leader, Fidel Castro, passed away on Friday, people thought it would be the perfect time to discuss his uncanny resemblance to actor, Liam Neeson.
Following the news, side-by-side shots of Castro and Neeson began flooding social media, as did jokes of Neeson's shoo-in role as the lead in a future Fidel Castro biopic.

Seriously, people couldn't stop talking about the facial similarities the former Cuban President shared with Bryan Mills from Taken, Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and of course, that sweet dad from Love Actually.
In their defense, the facial hair and withering stares do look remarkably alike.

Of all the people who are sad at the news of Fidel Castro's death, I'm going to guess that Liam Neeson's agent is pretty much the least. pic.twitter.com/4Y4bjr0aXE

Throughout all of this Fidel Castro coverage, one question remains: is it too late for Liam Neeson to play him? pic.twitter.com/M2bztBN1oe

And for all those wondering, the real Liam Neeson is alive, well and hopefully considering a biopic in his future.
