What The Real Characters Behind The Irishman Look Like | Netflix

The Irishman is remarkable for its commitment to showcase the unique looks and quirks of its cast of actual historical characters. Jimmy Hoffa, Russell Bufalino, Frank Sheeran, and the rest of the gang all made profound, if subtle, contributions to American history.

As such, it's not just surprising how much some members of The Irishman's cast look like the characters they're based on. It's a testament to the skill of the actors, the make-up artists, and the costume designers involved in Martin Scorsese's mob epic. Here's a side-by-side glimpse of what the real characters behind The Irishman look like.

Frank Sheeran, the loyal Teamster operative, mob hitman and — if you believe his story — killer of the infamous Jimmy Hoffa, was afforded a luxury that very few of his peers enjoyed: He was allowed to grow old. Sheeran met Russell Buffalino in 1955, and while many of his compatriots met violent ends during that time, Sheeran lived until 2004, when he died of cancer.

In The Irishman, Robert De Niro plays Sheeran at every step of his life's journey, and while the actor bears more than a passing resemblance to the titular Irishman during his younger days, the physical similarities really kick in when the movie begins to explore the later parts of Sheeran's life. The entire movie is narrated by an elderly, wheelchair-bound Sheeran who's reflecting on his various misdeeds, and these scenes capture the real Sheeran's look perfectly.
