Is Vladimir Putin gradually morphing, literally and physically, into Catherine the Great?

Is this just me? Or, is the resemblance between Catherine the Great and Vladimir Putin becoming more and more striking, as the years go by? https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/moscow-russia-dec-23-2016-president-552887833 https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/russian-president-vladimir-putin-gestures-during-his-news-photo/1705615104?adppopup=true https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-empress-catherine-ii-of-russia-catherine-the-great-37470822.html?imageid=BA0012F1-3963-4D54-9118-77636409F787&p=56342&pn=1&searchId=9d74e6a7462d5bdf6c3ff303e40084c3&searchtype=0 https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/russia-empress-catherine-ii-of-russia-canvas-zarin-news-photo/56462542?adppopup=true Is this intentional? In the old days, Putin looked like a tough, gangster/street fighter, appropriate for his KGB background. Now, he's more of jovial, cherubic caricature of his former self. He's kind of a reasonably fit and clean shaven Santa Claus, happy and giving, and benevolent. Now, I can see Putin emulating Catherine the Great, quite literally. After all, it was Catherine who fully conquered Ukraine, for Russia, precisely what our current friend Vladimir is doing himself, now. So, no doubt, he's seeing himself as a kind of latter day Catherine the Great. However, does that really require him to physically turn into Catherine herself, and imitate her facial expressions? Or, does this represent a deeper aspect to Putin's personality that is only coming out in old age, that he had successfully suppressed, in his earlier life? How far is Putin going to go with this transformation? Will we soon hear in Russia, that transsexuality is OK, after all?
