A new species of monkey was unveiled to the world Wednesday after scientists discovered the little guys living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo three years ago.
But after years of studies to confirm the species - Cercopithecus lomamiensis, Lesula for short - was indeed the first known of its kind, many who gazed upon the primate's face had the feeling they'd seen him somewhere before.
From heartthrob celebs to favorite family members and friends, the CNN community has gone ape trying to figure out just who this monkey looks like. Here's what some of our commenters had to say. Share your thoughts in the comments below.

StraightDs Thats not a new species of monkey, thats David Schwimmer.

Jameserizer Hey, I know that dude! Man, I went to school with that dude!
Rob LeeI don't think it was very nice for them to post my high school yearbook photo. That was 10 years ago and I was really tired and I didn't shave because I wanted to look old and cool. Besides, do you know how long it takes to shave your entire forehead and face?
Sexy celebs
FBr David Lee looks like a cartoon version of jake gyllenhaal, no offense to that good actor.

MeJustMe The monkey looks like a woodcut of Isaac Newton.
HoneyBee1234 Beautiful monkey. Looks so calm. My first thought upon seeing it was that it reminds me of The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.

Mitt Romney never looked better.
This is the nose that Michael Jackson wanted.

john lennon
You're all crazy. It's Ben Stein in need of a shave.
Patric Dempsey aka Dr. Shepherd from from Grey's Anatomy.
democratic republic ... .Jumbo Shrimp... .!
Dead ringer for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but with better hair. And likely much smarter.
G-d created "Men" therefore we don't come from the monkey....Study theology and read the bible....you will be amazed....wisdom comes from our creator...
How cute, Wandaiwc! It's refreshing to see that people still believe in fairy tales! Aww! It gives me giggles.
I prefer to study science – more proof. Dinosaurs walked the earth and we have their gigantic bones in museums to prove it. Thanks but I'll pass on the theology thingy stuff.
I think it looks too human! Kinda like my former best friends husband!!!
This monkey looks a lot more dignified and interesting than the humans! How immensely beautiful is nature when it isn't destroyed by civilization.
I agree!
@wandaiwc –
ok, then it must be "Men" who created monkey?
Just an observation. It looks like Osama Bin Laden.
Lovanya, no, more like Mittens Romney...
Oh, not at all. Please note the close family resemblance to Paul Ryan.
