Uma Thurman and Quique San Francisco: the gaze that unites them
The TV rerun of 'Paycheck' has once again fired up a comparison that has been circulating online for years: the supposed resemblance between Uma Thurman and Spanish comedian Quique San Francisco. According to one school of thought, the 'Pulp Fiction' actress and the Spanish comedian share a googly-eyed, wide-set gaze. Others, however, believe that this supposed likeness is absurd: it is like comparing an egg with a chestnut.
Supporters of the resemblance insist that eyes don't lie. Skeptics reply that both have two eyes, a nose and a mouth, and that is where the coincidences end. Some even introduce a third factor: Quique San Francisco looks more like Donald Sutherland than Uma, which complicates the triangle. Add to all this the urban legend extending the resemblance to Pilar Rubio's children, and the controversy becomes a phenomenon of Spanish meme culture.
For now, the debate remains unresolved: a laboratory-grade comparative photograph of the two actors is still missing. Meanwhile, every time a channel airs 'Paycheck', the question resurfaces. The community remains divided between those who see a doppelgänger and those who see nothing more than two people with wide-set eyes.
