Do you get told you look like someone famous?

Panjita, 20 May, 2014 at 12:00 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 36

I've had various ones over the years (mainly Colleen Rooney and Nicole Appleton when I was younger) but recently got told I look like Alanis Morrissette!!??

Who do you get told you look like? Flash if you wish Smiley smile

EDIT with Flash.

    I used to get Jane Goldman, the TV presenter and writer (and Jonathan Ross' wife), a lot. As far as I could tell it was mostly just my bright red hair - her face shape is really nothing like mine, although I am curvy like her. Then I had a fringe cut in, and it seemed to stop. It was weird cos I had a terrible crush on Jonathan Ross when I was a teenager Smiley smile

    I accepted it graciously ?

    Julia Roberts. I look nothing like Julie Roberts I wish i did!

    Kristen Stewart too, tho that may be because I have a moody face! lol

    Seeing as those two dont really look alike I have no idea why I was told I look like them!

    I've had Kirsten Dunst and Zooey Deschanel when she was blonde. Used to get it all the time in Uni, not so much any more, am clearly looking older than them these days!

    I've been told I look like Jessie J and Katy Perry. I think it can only be because I have dark hair and a fringe and at the time those 2 both did too. I certainly don't look as good as either of them.

    You do look like her, Kharv!

    I don't look like anyone famous, but my brother is quite well known through his DJing, and a couple of times I've had someone ask if I'm H's sister. I've also given my name on a few doors at gigs and the person ask if I'm his sister - the name isn't common!

    I also think Mini looks like Katy Perry.

    I don't look like anyone, I was nicknamed Bianca in school purely because of my red hair and freckles but I didn't look like her.

    For a while loads of people (maybe 20 altogether, ranging from my best friend to a random stranger at a business meeting) told me that I looked like Emily Blunt. It was right before the wedding when I was at my slimmest and had grown my hair and dyed it dark chocolate brown. Since a few months after the wedding nobody has ever made the comparison again.

    I also used to get Avril Lavigne, but I think that was due to my general moodiness and grungy phase.

    Rather worryingly, I have been likened in looks to Stephen Fry.

    Very upsetting!!!!! This has happened at well over 2 dozen weddings where the guests did not know me.....

    My avatar on the left is me in the foreground.......nothing like him !!!

    I've been told from a few people I looked like Hayley from Paramore but that's just because I had orange hair at the time.

    When I was at school a friend said I looked like Drew Barrymore..wasn't too happy with that one, think it's cause I have an arse on my chin ?

    You definitely look like Katy Perry, or you did at the London meet anyway.

    Peter, sorry to say I can see the resemblance, although you are obviously much younger and slimmer. I'd say you look like you could be his younger cousin rather than the man himself.

    I've been told by a few people I look like Toni Collette. I REALLY hope they did not mean in Muriels Wedding!

    I don't look like anyone famous.

    Though if I put my hair in a towel, poke my ears out the side and open my eyes wide, I think I look like Martin Clunes Smiley sad - that's not ok even if you're a man

    My H looks a bit like Martin Clunes.....or Pob. I can't decide which one is worse/ better!!

    I have been told that I look a bit like Helen Baxendale but I think that the similarity ends in the fact we both have brown hair.

    Last night at fat club the leader asked me and OH if we are twins. ?

    I used to get Zoe "You aint my muvva" Slater and Kate "Put your hands on me Jack" Winslet.

    My OH looks like a cross between Samantha Janus, Billie Piper and Tracy Barlow

    We make a wonderful couple, innit?
