Lighthearted thread..
I got into a taxi today and the driver turned to me and said… My god you are the spitting image of a young Annie Lennox! I am chuffed by this, she’s beautiful, can’t say I see it but I’ll take the compliment.
The only other celeb I’ve ever been compared to was Billie Piper in my teens, I can see this more.
Anyone else care to share there celebrity lookalike?

Meghan Markle and Julia Roberts here

Neither look anything alike! So not sure how that one works

They do look alike IMO.

I got told (repeatedly) that I looked like Anne Hathaway in my late teens. I was quite offended because, at the time, she was playing a half-dead, TB-infested prostitute in Les Miserables!

Having looked her up later on, I was quite relieved to see that she didn't look like that full-time, and was quite pleased 😂

I used to be Kate Bush and Elizabeth Hurley… now I’m a melted Cruella D’Ville.

Was his mum a big Bowie fan too?

No idea. It was quite a strange conversation actually lol.

Jamesblonde2 · 21/06/2025 17:56

When I was younger Karen Mulder. I took that and ran.

MaryTheTurtle · 21/06/2025 17:54

I look like Miranda Hart

Someone said i look a bit like Meghan Markle.

I am a size 16 at the moment certainly not as slim as her.

Edited

Oh yes you do. But you’re much prettier!

My Asda delivery driver arrived the other week and he bore a striking resemblance to David Bowie. He was delighted when I told him as apparently his dad is a huge Bowie fan!

I was at the hospital a few weeks back & a consultant bore an uncanny resemblance to Johnny Rotten/John Lydon. He had spikey punky hair and a baggy suit on. Man in our local post office looks like Pavarotti.

When I was a kid we used to look like when you’re an adult.
Mine was Michelle Pheiffer, especially in Grease 2.. And I wanted to be and dress like Cher in Mermaids, I’m like neither.

Show quote history

Me too. I picked Heather locklear.

30 years ago - Princess Diana and Jill Dando (RIP both)
Now - Clare Balding/Angela Merkel
Aging sucks!

My DH thinks I look like Sharon Stone. I think he needs glasses😄. Last week an elderly woman said I looked like Margot Robbie. I wish ☺️.

Lucky you

Interestingly all 3 of yours do have larger faces with heavier lower faces. I would never have thought of those three having any similarities!

@yakkity”larger faces with heavier lower faces”

I’d say I probably do have a “larger face” and can see that that is in common with the 3 celebs listed.

I’ve never noticed “heavier lower face” though….something to think about.

I feel I’ve got a fairly big forehead so tend to focus on that that rather than lower face!

LightDrizzle · 14/06/2025 00:13

An ex boyfriend told me I looked like Stan Laurel! I can sort of see it with certain facial expressions. I liked Stan Laurel so I was just mildly amused.

Just remembered the other one - Anna Kournikova.

It’s definitely the face shape.

I do see the resemblance a bit, particularly when I was younger.

I’m a bit overweight now, which I hate, but on the plus side, I think my face shape lends quite a youthful appearance.

In my twenties it was Audrey Hepburn (I wish!). In my forties someone told me I looked like Cherie Blair. 😟

onthewineagain · 07/06/2025 15:25

In my 20s, Christina Aguillera and Peaches Geldof (before she got really thin).

I kind of see it, similar face shape.

Nobody has said it for years though. No comparisons for a long time now.

In my lifetime (well younger years teens-30s) I have been likened to Kate Bush, Audrey Hepburn and Gwyneth Paltrow. I see myself more like Hilda Ogden now 😁

If you can’t see the resemblance you have funny eyesight!

Not true. They look absolutely nothing alike whatsoever.

Good grief, you both must be beauties. Debra Harry was an absolute stunner. I didn't see it at the time as I was quite young, but when you look back, she was off the scale beautiful. She's still lovely.

Show quote history

Would love to think I looked like a young Debbie Harry when I was younger but I'm prob getting too old for that compliment anymore. Thank you for making me feel good for a moment though! My mum is just beautiful, way more so than me. She's all cheekbones and beautiful big eyes ❤️
