Has anyone been told that they look like someone famous? I have been told I look like Tracey Emin. Not sure how I feel about that.

When I was young I got told I looked like Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone. I had fabulous bone structure (now sadly obscured by fat and wrinkles).

Liza Minnelli and/or Audrey Hepburn.

Very dark short hair with a fringe, very dark and quite large eyes, pale skin.
I'm not sure they ever slobbed about in a t shirt and trackies though.

In my early 20s, a chubby version of Scully from the x files (Gillian Anderson) or a young Bette Midler - was once stopped getting off a bus in Camden by a lovely elderly lady to talk about the Bette thing and how it was a huge compliment. She went in for ages with me looking less than impressed and my mate pissing herself.

I wish I looked like Gillian Anderson now. I don't.

DH once told me I looked like Mimi Maguire, so that was nice. Hmm

Had a few people tell me I look like Angelina Jolie, which is absolutely hilarious. Angelina on her worst day ever, hungover, after not sleeping for a whole year, maybe! I wish I looked like her... Literally the only similarity is we have a similar hairstyle (of you can call mine a 'style' Grin)

On thin days I get Cheryl Cole occasionally and had Kiera knightly a lot as a teenager. Never saw the resemblance with either and they're so different looking! Now I'm chubby I don't get those comparisons anymore Grin

Emilizz34 · 22/04/2019 20:18

I’ve been told that I look like Katy Perry a few times . My eldest dd looks quite like Ivanka Trump but hates to be told this . DD2 looks like an even better looking version of Cheryl Cole .

SymphonyofShadows · 22/04/2019 20:26

Not famous exactly unless you are into a certain kind of music, but I’m told I look like Pauline Murray from Penetration. I can sort of see it. I’ve also been told I look like Cyndi Lauper a fair bit.

My mum thinks I look like Audrey Hepburn Hmm God love her it's not true Grin

JenniferOhJenny · 22/04/2019 21:01

I look like a fatter version of Andrea Riseborough.

Whisky2014 · 22/04/2019 21:02

Yep, sandra bullock. On numerous occasions :)

donutrehomer · 22/04/2019 21:14

Roland from grange hill. I was 12 and very over weight.

Moondancer73 · 22/04/2019 21:17

Pretty sure I don't look like anyone famous but stepmonster looks like the swinger lady from Benidorm - Jacqueline

nespressowoo · 22/04/2019 21:20

Taylor Swift Grin

Shelia007 · 22/04/2019 21:23

Liz Hurley......I dont... I never have done unless liz Hurley is about 2 stone over weight with plenty of wrinkles and needs her roots doing!

irregularegular · 22/04/2019 21:45

A couple that are mentioned a lot are Jennifer Ehle in Pride and Prejudice and Miranda Richardson, especially as Queenie.

And Helena BC but I don't think that is a strong resemblance at all. Just hair, colouring, being English - mainly.

Basically only ever people in period costume!

wobblyflump · 22/04/2019 21:47

Quite frequently over the past 15 years, and sometimes still now, Jamie Lee Curtis

Snog · 22/04/2019 21:56

Bridget Jones ie Rene Zelleweger when fat 😆

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 22/04/2019 21:59

As a teenager, was told I looked like Nana Mouskouri or Kathy Kirby. I don't think I looked like either.

More recently, I was likened to Mavis Cruet, because I'm short, round and had blue hair at the time. I changed my hair the next day Grin

Lobsterquadrille2 · 22/04/2019 22:04

Kathleen Turner, Charlize Theron, Samantha from Bewitched, Heather Locklear, Joanna Lumley. Can't see it - any of them.

LostInTheColonies · 22/04/2019 22:13

Was once addressed as Prince Andrew.
I'm female, with long dishevelled dark hair (both then, about 25 years ago, and now).

NicksWife08 · 22/04/2019 22:25

Jenny Powell the woman from wheel of fortune. I've been told that so many times but I'm almost 20 years younger than her.

DH really does look like Ed Miliband, not as wide a nose or big mouthed though, someone even stopped him to tell him how much he looks like Ed Miliband. Poor DH.
I think he looks more like Ray Romano though.

MargaretOfAnjou · 22/04/2019 22:25

Patsy Kensit. I have been told this since late 80's until present day. When i look at photos of me from the 90's i can see a likeness. I coloured my hair honey red a few yes ago and still get told i look like her.

mummyofdaughters · 22/04/2019 22:27

On holiday recently a woman came up to me in the hotel lobby while I was waiting for DH and was convinced I was Joss Stone...

TildaTurnip · 22/04/2019 22:32

My husband looks like Jurgen Klopp

I know someone who is the spitting image of Klopp. He is amused by it, especially at football matches!
