Canada and Australia. Almost exactly opposite each other on the globe. Two bstewarts — Aussie footballer Brett Stewart and me — in each of those countries, separated by a whole planet and yet… not as different as you might expect:
- Aussie Brett Stewart was born in Wollongong, I in Winnipeg
- Aussie Brett Stewart’s position is Fullback, I consider myself unrepentantly Versatile (but if need be, I can “fill a back”, too, if you know what I mean)
- Aussie Brett Stewart has an allegiance to NSW, I’m more NSFW
- Aussie Brett Stewart likes BBQ chicken on his pizza and, hey, I could have me some of that right now
- Aussie Brett Stewart is single and I’m… still thinking about that BBQ chicken pizza
But the similarities don’t end there. Imagine my surprise when I came upon a tearout from Cosmopolitan (Australia) featuring footie stars in their skivvies!

Holy shit, except for the fur I can’t even tell you two apart.
We’re practically twins, fercryinoutloud.
Now that you’ve got a Doppelgänger you’re free to commit acts of a morally dubious nature. I mean, you know, with an actual alibi. For a change.
You do realize that since you have a beard and he doesn’t, YOU are the evil twin?
In fairness, at the time that photo was taken (last autumn) my beard was probably only a two or three days’ scruffier than my doppelgänger’s. But I rise (sink?) to the mantle of Evil Twin with great pride, so thanks.
Two other points of intersectedness:
1. In the Aussie’s photo it says “Brett Stewart 23″. *THAT’S* pretty cosmic.
2. Answering the question: “What does sexy mean to you?” Aussie Brett Stewart replies: “Looking good without even trying.”
You probably have to put a LITTLE work into your look but not much.
PS Is barbecued chicken on pizza a Canadian/Australian thing? I know it’s here in the US as well but I wonder where it first made an appearance.
THANK you for picking up on the “23″ thing. Which is, in case it’s something of which you’re not yet aware, entirely the point. And I don’t really think BBQ chicken on pizza is a Canadian thing, but all this talk about it is driving me seriously close to picking up the telephone and ordering in.
Which one is into drag racing, and which one is into drag queens?
That would depend on your definition of “drag queen”. If you mean “female impersonators who want to look pretty, like Beyoncé”, then that would probably be my Aussie bro. Me, I’m more into scare-the-children DQs. And scare-the-kiddies DQs racing would be awesome. Ten bucks on The Lady Bunny to win.
Your doppleganger is a hot Australian footballer. My doppleganger is a nerdy British computer specialist. Not fair, dude. Not fair.
