An Irish writer Samuel Beckett looks like a 21st century version of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.<\/p>\n

In fact, we really think that this theater director is more of a Muhammad Ali Jinnah lookalike than even Christopher Lee, the man who essayed the role in the film Jinnah<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Jinnah

Their style aesthetic is soo similar. They both cut a clean minimalist look, and stick to classics like turtle necks and blazers.<\/p>\n

Samuel Beckett had glasses rather than a monocle. After all, he was born in the early 1900s, unlike Jinnah who was a 1870s man.<\/p>\n

The Muhammad Ali Jinnah lookalike even has a love for tobacco…. given the lit cigarette in Beckett’s hand.<\/p>\n

Though both are literary folk at their heart, the Irishman also happens to be quite a sportsman as well.<\/p>\n

You can’t tell it from these black and white photos, but apparently Beckett has icy-blue eyes as opposed to Jinnah’s warm brown. Their hairstyles look similar though. They both had dark hair and chiseled faces, both on the leaner side.<\/p>\n

This raises the question of why wasn’t this theater director cast as the Quaid in the biopic film?<\/p>\n

Coincidentally this Irish novelist and playwright died at the age of 82, in 1989. While the film Jinnah<\/em><\/strong> was released in 1998.<\/p>\n

English actor Christopher Lee played the role of Quaid-e-Azam in the film Jinnah when he was 72. Interestingly when Muhammad Ali Jinnah died he was also 72 years old.<\/p>\n

Christopher Lee died earlier in 2015 at the age of 92. He’s famed for his roles of Francisco Scaramanga in the James Bond film,\u00a0The Man with the Golden Gun<\/em><\/strong> (1974), and Count Dooku in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He was also in the cult classics Moulin Rouge<\/em><\/strong>, and the 1958 Dracula<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
