Celebrity Number Six
-
I had absolutely no clue.
An enduring internet mystery years in the making has finally been solved.
If you are not a frequent inhabitant of social media sites like Reddit, you may have never heard of the infamous "Celebrity Number Six," the unidentified face printed onto a piece of fabric showcasing otherwise familiar figures like Jessica Alba, Ian Somerhalder and Orlando Bloom.
Reddit user TontsaH originally posted images of the fabric to the subreddit r/movies five years ago, saying, "I have had curtains made of this fabric over 10 years (maybe from 2008) but I still haven't recognized all movie stars. Hopefully, you can help me to recognize them and find the corresponding photo of the celebrity."
The post linked to external image hosting site Imagr, on which the poster had labeled their guess as to who each printed illustration was meant to represent and what specific photo it was pulled from. With the subreddit's hive mind activated, any identity on the eight-person pattern still up for question was quickly put to rest and matched with its real-life inspiration.
All except one, that is.

There must be an interesting backstory about how the various images originally came to be assembled on the fabric.
