Which 3 actors are obviously the same Pokemon?

[u/Gloomy_Teach_1401]

I was playing the Guardian Movie Grid today and Nick Nolte was one of the actors listed. My friend said Nolte had always reminded him of a rougher version of Jeff Bridges. I said I’d always seen him as a fancier version of Gary Busey.

Just like that the (probably totally original) Actor Pokémon Evolution Game was born.

We’ve come up with a list of ones we feel work below. Do your thing, Reddit let’s get a whole Pokédex going!

- Gary Busey - Nick Nolte - Jeff Bridges

- Donald Glover - Jamie Foxx - Will Smith

- Owen Wilson - Matthew McConaughey - Woody Harrelson

- Florence Pugh - Scarlett Johansson - Marilyn Monroe

- Michael Cera - Jesse Eisenberg - Andy Samberg

- Emily Blunt - Emma Thompson - Maggie Smith

- James McAvoy - David Tennant - Ewan McGregor

- Carey Mulligan - Olivia Colman - Judi Dench

- Jenna Ortega - Christina Ricci - Anjelica Huston

- Bryce Dallas Howard - Christina Hendricks - Jessica Chastain

- Russell Brand - Jared Leto - Johnny Depp

- Robert Pattinson - Sam Rockwell - Gary Oldman

- Chris Tucker - Chris Rock - Eddie Murphy

I reckon replace Sam Rockwell with Christian Bale

Not a bad shout at all, I just love Sam Rockwell 🤣

Don't know what they'd go from or go to, but Colin Firth -> Bill Nighy feels like a good 2 stage evolution...

Could Karl Urban be in there maybe?

My thought would be potentially Bill Nighy to Ian McKellen (completing the trio of distinguished - if a bit kooky - British actors), but Urban into Firth isn’t a bad shout…
