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?

Me too, both! We must look alike

Show quote history

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 have been told Lily Allen, and Emma Stone.
I'll take it 😁

When l was in my 20s/30s..l got told l look like Julia Roberts a lot.

Foostit · 07/06/2025 22:29

In my younger and slimmer days I was told quite a few times that I looked like Victoria Coren Mitchell. Before that I got Agnetha from Abba. I mean I’ll take both of those but definitely people being kind. 😂

I’ve been told Drew Barrymore and Bjork, both of which I’m fine with, though I can’t see it. My best friend at school said I reminded her of Kiefer Sutherland, which is less flattering!

Kiefer 🤣🤣

When I'm thin I get Drew Barrymore a lot. I see it - I have a similar shaped lower face and mouth. Really hard to explain as it's not a particular feature if you see what I mean, just a kind of overall look.

When I'm fatter (like now) I look a bit Rose West, particularly after some very ill advised 80s style glasses.

I love Drew Barrymores face!

QueefQueen80s · 07/06/2025 22:26

Angelina jolie, annie Lennox, liv tyler. Yeah the temu versions 🤣

KitKateKat · 07/06/2025 22:08

When I was at uni and then also (different crowd named it) at work ... my nickname was / is Stiffler's Mom lol

Sophie Okonedo (I don't really, I don't think, although I'll take it! She's stunning)
Gugu Mbatha-Raw. (that is more accurate)
Jessie Matthews (Starred in a lot of films from the 1930s and 1940s)

I had to google Gugu Mbatha-Raw, I recognise her in a few things. She is absolutely stunning! Lucky you 😄

LittleTwiggy · 07/06/2025 21:27

Clara from Doctor Who (Jenna Coleman I think?) and as a child Myleene Klass when Hearsay were big. I think it’s just my skin tone/hair colour though as they’re being far too generous.

MathsMum3 · 07/06/2025 21:12

Apparently I look like Nicola Walker from "Spooks" and "Unforgotten". Can't see it myself.

Turmerictolly · 07/06/2025 19:51

When (much) younger, Sade and Kate O Mara.

Cotswoldmama · 07/06/2025 19:43

The first was Theresa Di Marco from Eastenders! Then Pochahantas, Audrey Hepburn, Natalie Umbrulia, Penelope Cruz, Alexa Chung. I don't think I particularly look like any of them, maybe a mixture of them all!

ScoobyDoobyDooooooooooooo · 07/06/2025 19:28

My colleague thinks I look like Summer Glau.

We're totally different colouring but I can sort of see what he means...

greenismyfavorite · 07/06/2025 19:20

Been compared to Baby Spice/ Emma Bunton a lot since my teenage years and occasionally still now in my forties. We do have similar mannerisms and smiles. I’ll take it.

Someone said, years ago, that I looked like Rose West! Round face, dark hair, glasses.

Now, Kathy Burke but with grey hair 😂

I work with a guy who is the spitting image of Rose West, I haven’t mentioned it though.
Love Kathy Burke.

I used to get Alyssa Milano fairly often, had a creepy customer when I worked in a pub who insisted on only calling me Alyssa.
My dad is the spitting image of Anthony Lapaglia.

looselegs · 07/06/2025 18:21

When my elderly Mum was in hospital, one of the other patients said I "looked like that lesbian horsey woman off the telly" She said it so loud, everyone turned to have a look!
Claire Balding in case you're wondering. I have short hair. That's the only similarity.
Disclaimer- I have not got any problems with anyone's sexuality, and I certainly wouldn't mind her money.

TheCoralMoose · 07/06/2025 01:04

Someone said i look a bit like Meghan Markle.

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

Edited

You remind me of the actress Tiffany Thiessen

When my hair is dark I get the mum from Twilight. And Ginny Weasley when it’s light.

I was told I looked like Meryl Streep too , on the cover of the French Lieutenants Woman

I;ll take that happily

Show quote history

She's really good looking. I was just being a ten year old brat when I didn't appreciate it. In this pic her eyes look very dark, I thought they were usually green/blue?

Either way we should both be satisfied with being Maryl-esque! If only I had her money! 😂

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 07/06/2025 17:20

BobbyBiscuits · 07/06/2025 12:54

People used to say I looked like a young (pre surgery) Meryl Streep when I was about 10.
All I could think of was 'gawd, why couldn't you say Wendy James from Transmission Vamp or Madonna?'

Someone in France said I looked like Gwen Stefani once. But I had been sleeping in the park so I very much (No) Doubt that was true!

Now I haven't had any celebrity moments for many years. Bring back Meryl! Though I'll need a nose job to look like her at this point. 🤣
