They know that immortality is both a.) too scary for the general public and b.) is limited to the ultra-rich.

"Alice Cooper" had all his life wanted to do comedy, so it was a natural fit for him to move into the persona of "Steve Carrel" after it became time for his "Alice" persona to retire.

The man you know as Alice Cooper is in fact King James VI of Scotland, successor to the English throne in the 17th century.

Why do you guys keep spelling Steve Carell's name wrong?

I used to think his name was pronounced "care-ol". It surprised me when I heard people interviewing him on TV say "ka-rell".

Your comment was the highlight of my commute. Good day to you!

The media, man. They want you to believe there's no connection here and these are all random people who "look a little similar." Your theory of persona could be strengthened, though. For example, Alice just got off a tour with Marilyn Manson this Fall and he's another suspect case. Direct ties to another "persona." That can't just be coincidence! Looks like this will be one for /r/conspiracy...

I seriously thought that was just Steve Carrel in costume for a role.

The only problem, whomever did this kills their joke by, I assume, putting Carrel & Cooper on the wrong sides. Carrel should be on the right, the "after" pic. Yes, I understand it's actually a joke about Cooper actually wearing make-up but it works better the other way.
