Peanuts Declares Simon Pegg to be Official Charlie Brown Look-A-Like
PEANUTS Launches Year-Long 60th Anniversary Celebrations with the First Official PEANUTS Look-a-Like Contest!



"I wasn't entirely by surprised when I learnt that the Peanuts team had selected
me as their Charlie Brown look-alike, since the comparison had been made several
times before," says Simon Pegg, ("Star Trek," "Shaun of the Dead"). "I even have
a Charlie Brown yellow t-shirt with black zig zags, bought for me by a friend
who was of the same opinion. Now I guess it's official. Word had come from the
very top and who am I to argue. I look like Charlie Brown. Good Grief."
