Sean Penn and Young Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States and was the president to eventually abolish slavery. He made history in America, and before he was the president, he practiced law. He was born in 1809 but judging from these pictures, it is also possible he was born much later.

He shares a striking resemblance with actor Sean Penn, born 150 years later. He could probably play Honest Abe in a film, too. He did, however, portray politician Harvey Milk in “Milk.” Maybe Penn could play the politician so well because he has actually been alive for close to 200 years?
