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?

I can see a resemblance. They don’t look exactly the same, but there is something about them both that reads the same to me. I think it’s the eyes and the face shape.

I think most of the time people aren’t doppelgängers. They just have some essence of or resemblance of someone else.

Apparently I do too, I've had Debbie Harry and Kirsten Dunst but I'm too shy to share a pic!

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.

If you can see a resemblance you should have gone to Specsavers.

Well clearly I’m not the only one as others think the same as do all the people who have told the poster so.

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

My PT is the spit of a younger Deborah Harry.
I looked like, back in my 20s (depending on the age of the person saying it) Gina Lollobrigida or Nastassja Kinski.

Nope. You do not look anything like Meghan Markle.

I think she does

Someone said i look a bit like Meghan Markle.

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

Edited

I can see the resemblance

RSavernake · 09/06/2025 20:24

No-one recently. 20/25 years ago I used to get told I look like Gina McKee, then when The Killing came out it was Sofie Grabol. I have gained a lot of weight since then though so any resemblance has gone.

Stacy from eastenders when I was much younger- but we’re a similar age and we don’t look the same at all now, but looking back at photos from say ten years ago we really did! It’s like we stayed the same for years then went separate ways…

Me too! Almost every single night out someone would say to me 'don't you look like that girl off of Eastenders'... this went on for ageeeeees. Until one night someone said to me 'you look alot like that girl off the tele' and I jumped into with 'yes, I know Lacey Turner' and they said 'no, the one that plays Sally in Home and Away- lol.
The boys in the year above me at school used to call me Stace!! No resemblance now though.

Ok, you got me. I actually get Roy Chubby Brown.

When I was a teenager I was told I looked like Mary Hopkin. I suspect that 99% of people on here have never heard of her 😂.

I have ! Singer, long fair hair . “Those were the days my friend “

pippapipps · 09/06/2025 10:21

Back in the day when Madonna was at her peak I was told loads how much I looked like her ..in recent years I've had Maria out of Corrie a couple of times apart from that I'm me!

Posting photos of oneself really isn't advisable. Think about it.

Before her bout of weight loss injections, hair extensions, teeth whitening and face alterations, I had always been told I looked like Karren Brady. I used to say, no, Karren Brady looks like me. 😍

You are just like her. You're so pretty.

Ferretedaway · 07/06/2025 23:50

In the 80s when I had a perm lots of comments that I looked like Barbra Streisand. Also Susan Foreman, Dr Who’s first assistant. I can definitely understand both comparisons.

There’s a bit of Lily about her here. But I think my perceived likeness is mostly fringe so you could be right

Show quote history

It's just the fringe IMO. I don't think their actual faces look at all alike.

Iamuhtredsonofuhtred · 07/06/2025 23:36

ExercicenformedeZ · 07/06/2025 22:46

To me that is weird because they look nothing alike! To be fair, though, neither do the people I have been told I look like. I sometimes think that people are very unobservant and just notice height/build and colouring. That said, Emma Stone and Lily Allen don't even have the same build or colouring!

I used to get a lot of people telling me I looked like Madonna when she was in her Like a Prayer/Desperately Seeking Susan era, but nothing since.
