Male Gaze: Greg Payne, Johnny Depp’s Model Twin

Beautiful men in beautiful clothes have been sauntering down runways in London this week, some inspiring awe in unabashed displays of greasy boobage and others creating frenzy by simply looking like celebrity impersonators. Case in point: male model Greg Payne, who walked in Oliver Spencer’s spring/summer 2014 show. In addition to going for the same shoulder-length, unwashed dark locks that forever-heartthrob Johnny Depp rocks, he also went with the exact same facial hair. An intoxicating air of mystery also shrouded Payne, which may be due to those dark shades blocking access to his soul-piercing (soul-melting?) eyes. Sans sunglasses, the similarities between Depp and Payne are even more astounding. (Look here and here, and compare those looks to Depp’s look book.) And bonus trivia: In 1999, Payne was named People’s “sexiest model” and considered looking like Depp “a wicked compliment.” Double trouble.
