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 mentioned as a teen I’d get Billie Piper a lot, also Carly Simon. When I first met my husband he kept on with you remind me of someone but couldn’t think who until one day… Tada!! I’ve got it, Steven bloody Tyler! Looking at pictures though I can see they all have a similar look, I think I look more like this than Annie Lennox. My son looks a lot like Eric Mernandez, hopefully he doesn’t follow in his footsteps or my days are numbered.

I honestly would prefer to look like Steven or Carly than like Billie!

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)

Nice one.☺️

Itiswhysofew · 07/06/2025 16:10

Sandra Bullock. I do not look like her in any way, shape or form - really🤪

Julia St John, actress. I'd love to look like her, but again, I do not🤣

When I was younger I got told I looked like Cameron Diaz.
At Christmas time my 2 year old pointed to a picture of Susan Boyle and said 'mummy'.
I don't think the years have been kind to me🤣.

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.

SmellsLikeMiddleAgeSpirit · 07/06/2025 15:41

Used to get told a lot that I looked like Lorraine Kelly, went on for years. Think I still do look a bit like her.
I fancied DH in the late 80s because he looked like Robert de Niro. He still does, but the old craggy version!

DD is a dead ringer for Saoirse Ronan.

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.

Heather Peace when she was in London's Burning.

BigBoonda · 07/06/2025 14:52

I've had Martine McCutcheon, Idina Menzel and Hagrid (because of my hair) 😂

I’m the love child of Kirsty Gallacher and Slash from Guns n Roses - throughout my 20s I would get either 🤣

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. 🤣

Carla Bonner from neigbours and Rachel Stevens from steps - I wish I still did 😂

Rachel Stevens is not from Steps lol.

Miranda. At one point even I could see it. Got in a London black cab once and we were making small talk with the cabbie. “Who’ve you had in your cab that’s famous” we asked. “You” was the reply. Even the bloody cabbie thought I looked like her 😂😂😂

Idontjetwashthefucker · 07/06/2025 12:38

Rachel Stevens was in S club

When I was younger, my nickname was Liz because everyone said I looked like Liz Hurley. I kinda hope it still rings true because she looks great still

My son (20) and I have been compared to Liz and Damian Hurley on more than one occasion. I think Liz is stunning so was obviously thrilled but unfortunately I think my son's resemblance to Damian is much stronger than my resemblance to Liz! (Also the comparison has only been made as part of a pair, not in my own right too.)

In my younger days I was also told I looked like Liv Tyler.

I'm more like a pound shop/Wish version of Liz/Liv 😂😂😂 but I'll take that!

AnchorWHAT · 07/06/2025 12:34

Dawn french’s mum told me i reminded her of Dawn this was when she (and I) were fat !

happinessischocolate · 07/06/2025 12:28

My ex looked like Robbie Williams to the extent my dd picked up Robbie’s biography in WH Smith’s and said is this daddy - Robbie’s aging a bit better though

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 could not look less like MM if you tried.

Louise Rednap. I get stopped in the street quite regularly.
