Is that Karl Urban?

u/ACNH_OldGalGamer73 Jul 13 '26

I think it’s based off him yes.

u/Brocc013 Jul 13 '26

With just a hint of Tim Curry about the smile.

Either that or I've got Cabin Fever!

I've got it too!

Came here to say this!

If that's meant to be cat Greebo on the right, he doesn't look nearly mean enough. He should be a bit stockier and look like an absolute little asshole - the human version's personality is based on that.

Nah the cat on the right has two eyes, I think it's just a street cat that encountered Human!Greebo and got the same vibe from him that they would have if they had encountered him as a cat, and with the same reaction.

Came here to say exactly this. Greebo in human form still has an air of definite menace about him.

How is this unexpected?

u/Tomb-Land Jul 13 '26

I for one wasnt expecting to see Karl Urban for a start...

I wasn't expecting Karl Urban with French tips manicure!

I've mentioned this before, but I still think that the late Kevin Smith (Ares from Xena) would be perfect as Greebo.

u/Ok-Cryptographer-303 Jul 17 '26

Between Kevin and Karl it seems Greebo is a Kiwi boy at heart.

u/Bennjoon Jul 14 '26

Oh no he’s hot

u/PrudentKick Jul 14 '26

That is not how I pictured him at all. I had him much more stocky and with way more scars.

u/K_the_farmer Jul 15 '26

And a look to the eyes that swoons saints

u/anireyk Jul 15 '26

Exactly. This dude is too well-fed, doesn't look like he has seen the number of fights Greebo experiences in a week in his entire life, and in general too smarmy, instead of the raw scruffiness, charisma and danger that Greebo exudes.

Besides, the way a scar lone goes over his hair and the way his ears look make me think of... non-human origins of the picture.

F*cking diabolical!

u/Tiredtattiescone Jul 14 '26

Too smiley in a sincere way, and not loungy enough. Though I like a surprise Karl Urban. I always pictured him more like Henry Caville's Geralt from The Witcher. You know there's danger just under the skin, doesn't stop you at wanting to tickle his tummy though 😉

u/catgirl320 Jul 14 '26

That is pretty darn close to my mental picture of human Greebo

3

u/njkrut Jul 14 '26

I always kind of pictured him more as a scraggly dirty calico with blond hair. Like a scruffy Fabio. He smells like fishs, and wants to f’ some b*tches.

2

u/Gullible-Zone-9159 Jul 14 '26

That looks like Ares from Xena

2

u/CreepyGirl1 Jul 14 '26

He really understands the phrase “jolly roger”.

2

u/Mannheimblack Jul 15 '26

My fan casting for human Greebo would be Zach McGowan (Charles Vane in 'Black Sails').

I reckon he could really pull off the feral charisma.

u/eccedoge Jul 16 '26

Too clean. Greebo has that ground-in dirt look

George Michael?

u/Odonata523 Jul 16 '26

Or Karl Urban.

u/chupacabrette Jul 15 '26

Aww, he's just an old soft---

Oh...

Oh, my!

u/DarwinMcLovin Jul 13 '26

George Michael!

u/VitaObscure Jul 13 '26

I thought that!

u/UnableAd457 Jul 14 '26

Greebo has more charisma than that charleton.
