Distant Cousins # 5

Shia LaBeoff                                                Schapelle Corby                             Joseph Merrick
Sharp eyed readers ask if the following persons are perchance related : Schapelle Corby left a Bali jail today wearing a fashionable (fake) Burberry fedora and has jolted our reader's memory of a similar outfit worn by a Mr Joseph Merrick, known as The Elephant Man who took London society by storm in the ate 1800s, much as Ms Corby has fixated Australian society.

Another reader points out that film actor and star Shia LaBeoff chose a similar ensemble to appear on the red carpet last night at the gala premier of his latest motion picture at the Berlin Film Festival.
Are all three possibly related ?. I think we should be told.
