Doppelganger

RTÉ's Charlie Bird has been spotted in a Renaissance painting

A glitch in the matrix.

THERE IS NO explanation for how this happened, but it once again proves that everyone has a doppelganger out there.

Sometimes you might have to go back centuries to find yours, though.

Look at this image spotted in a museum in Venice, Italy this week

Dara Keane sent the image into DailyEdge.ie told us how he stumbled upon the Renaissance version of the ex RTÉ broadcaster:

I have just returned from Venice and inside the Doges Palace, in the room next to the bridge of sighs I came across this portrait of ruling Venetians from centuries ago. My wife and I recognised one as the spitting image of Charlie Bird.

How has no Irish visitor to Venice come across this epic likeness before?

There he is, amongst his other Venetian rulers
