If You Like This, Chances Are You'll Like: Prince of Persia, John Denver, eyebrows

Odds of Wearing a Hat: 100%

Because He/She's Bald? No, just sensitive.

Odds of Onstage Injury: Funny you should mention that, because he ate it pretty hard at his March 6 concert in Charleston. We're betting he doesn't romp around quite so much here.

Seriously Though, That's Not Jake Gyllenhaal? No
