We all have that weird talent.

Some people can lick their elbows, others are really good at walking on their hands, but Celka's strange gift is imitating other people's faces, and she's pretty good at it.

The 22-year-old Missourian told Mashable that she has been imitating faces for as long as she can remember. Initially, she started impersonating animals as a kid to make her parents or friend laugh or even "to weird a new friend out."

Although Celka doesn't consider the imitations a talent, she did tell us that "it's obviously something that still needs perfecting." However, not all imitations are the same skill level. Celka credits Rowan Atkinson in having the most difficult face to imitate.

As for her favorite face to imitate, it's a toss up between Jim Carrey, because of his diverse and animated faces, and Garth from Wayne's World, who is played by actor Dana Carvey because he was one of Celka's go-to costumes during high school.
