In this case, the sentence suggests that the person being described has similarities or resemblances to a famous film star. The word "as" is used to indicate the function or role of someone or something, while "similar" means having characteristics in common but not necessarily identical. "Same" means identical or exactly alike, which may not be the intended meaning in this context.
