HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- An eBay seller is suggesting a portrait from the 1800s he is selling could be none other than Hollywood's John Travolta in a previous life.

The Civil War-era photo was posted on the online auction site by a Canadian seller who points out the "amazing identical eyes, hairline and most importantly John's very unique trademark chin."

The seller also noted Travolta is a Scientologist, Parade magazine said. "Many Scientologists believe in reincarnation," the seller said.

There were few details on the origin of the photo, which surfaced a few weeks after another seller posted a photo from a similar era purported to be a dead ringer for Nicolas Cage.
