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?

some of these are not very flattering, I would be insulted tbhđŸ˜€

Taylor Swift but that's literally because I'm slim with a fringe. If she changed her hairstyle I would 100% not be comparable.

Katemax82 · 07/06/2025 11:56

My husband looks.like Peter sellers

Dogzlifeee · 07/06/2025 11:55

I've had liv tyler, Billie eilish and Michelle ryan.

I'm dark haired with blue eyes and fair skin but I think that's where the similarities end!

Who have you been told you look like who you don’t want to look like?

Let’s just say Gail from Corrie won the first round.
Nicole Appleton from All Saints aced the second!

Before I had jaw surgery I had a brief spell with a dodgy mousy blonde hair do and I was the absolute double of Gail from Corrie.

I had blocked that out till now!

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’d say Mel C from the Spice Girls!

Donna Air and Ulrika Jonsson. Ulrika quite a few times.

My daughter looks like Billie Eilish

Flozle · 07/06/2025 11:40

When I was 19 I was told I looked like Cyndi Lauper đŸ«¤

Later, Keeley Hawes and Emily Blunt (when I was super skinny).

Rolo87south · 07/06/2025 11:40

A lot of people said I looked like Charlotte Church when I was younger.
I think I did at that time.

SnapAndFartAllDayLong · 07/06/2025 11:25

In my teens I was compared to Kelly osbourne, due to my hairstyle and alternative look. Then in my 20s a chunky gwen staffini due to bleached hair, thick eyeliner and red lipstick đŸ˜†đŸ˜†đŸ˜† now I’m 40 and don’t look like anyone anymore đŸ˜…đŸ˜…

VeganStar · 07/06/2025 11:15

like a previous post I too was told I looked like Priscilla Presley but that was in my twenties. At the time I had dark hair. Moving on to when I reached my thirties and had long blonde hair people said I looked like Mallandra Burroughs from Emmerdale.

Idontjetwashthefucker · 07/06/2025 11:14

Natalie from Eastenders!

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.

According to my husband fuck all like Annie Lennox.. Such a charmer.
Looking at her photos , we have similar eyes and face shape.

No more I love you’s for him then

5foot5 · 07/06/2025 10:41

In my 40s I had two different people tell me I looked like Sandi Toksvig! I definitely don't see it, I must be 10 years younger and several inches taller.

enigmainthemist · 07/06/2025 10:41

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

ExercicenformedeZ · 07/06/2025 10:37

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 am more inclined to say Ciara Johnson/Zelmerlow

Wearegoingtoneedabiggerboat · 07/06/2025 09:52

When I was in my 20’s, Andrea Corr. As I have aged I probably look more like the brother Jim đŸ¥´
