On a recent podcast with comedian Howie Mandel, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan was asked if he had ever noticed the physical similarities between himself and comedian Bill Burr. His answer was kind of shocking.

Corgan said “Most of my friends don’t even know this story. About 10 years ago, one of my brothers was having a birthday party, and my stepmother was there, who was obviously married to my father. And my stepmother said to me, ‘Do you know who Bill Burr is? Now at that point, I had never heard of Bill Burr… I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t know he was a comedian or anything. He could have been the guy down the street. And she said, ‘Well, he’s this comedian.’ I think I even somehow called up a picture on the phone, and I kind of noticed right away, ‘Gee, he kind of looks like my father.’ Bill Burr looks more like my father than Bill Burr looks like me or I look like Bill Burr. So I said to my mother, ‘Why are you asking me this?’I thought the first thing she was going to say was, ‘Oh, I thought you’d notice the resemblance.’ She goes, ‘I think it might be one of your father’s illegitimate children. Bill Burr might be one of the children that your father sired in his days being a traveling musician.’ This is a true story. I’m not making this up… there is no joke in this.”

I will now never be able to get this idea out of my head. LOOK AT THEM!!! Jesus H Christ! They look exactly alike. They’re around the same age. 1 year apart. This goes for Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as well. That rumor is still out there in the wind.
