PIC: Have You Noticed The Striking Resemblance Between These Two Irish Heroes?

People are noticing an uncanny similarity between revolutionary leader Michael Collins and Olympic hero Paul O'Donovan. 

And you must admit there really is a striking resemblance between the pair.  

From their face shapes and bone structure to their dark hair, noses and mouths – they really look like they could be related! 

Even the Michael Collins Adventures parody account picked up on it and joined in. 

Gas. 

Props to Twitter user @ronanoflaherty for spotting this one:
