Am I the only one who thinks that Naveen looks like Tarzan?


Particularly at the end of the movie, in Tiana's restaurant, when Naveen is up on stage and reaches down to help her up on to the stage, he looks very similar to Tarzan sliding along the tree branches.

So, for those who think that Tiana couldn't have married Naveen because of the interracial aspect, maybe he's from an African country after all....

And before anyone starts yelling, yes, I know that Tarzan was actually an English lord, but still....

I think Naveen looks like Tarzan.

Obviously, characters from Disney movies have physical similarities. Specially when it comes to counterparts. NAVEEN also looks like a lot of the Princes, and TIANA looks like a lot of the princesses.

Never thought of Tarzan, but I see the similarities. He also looks like Eric and Aladdin while Tiana looks like Belle and Ariel to me.

I think he looks exactly like Prince Eric, but with darker skin and a sexier accent.

I suppose a bit, with their strong face shapes, but I definitely see more of Aladdin. it's funny too, because Naveen actually looks much more Middle Eastern than Aladdin, a Middle Eastern boy, does. And I think Naveen looks half Indian, half white.

Yeah, all Disney men look somewhat similar (from some point on). I mean, Naveen doesn't look like Prince Phillip to me, but he reminds me a little of Aladdin.

I thought he rather resembled Hercules.

Like a lot of other posters mentioned, most modern Disney characters share similar features. Naveen has Tarzan's long nose and small, rounded eyes, and there's a lot of similarities in the way both of these characters expressed emotions through the their eyebrows. But Naveen has small individual features that separate them facially, like the cleft in his chin, and his design being more rounded and less angular. His nose for instance is quite broad, lips fuller and his eyebrows are thicker.
