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.

I’ve been told I looked like Lulu a couple of times - about 20 years ago now. ☺️

I look like Billie Piper but with blue eyes and much less attractive teeth!I was asked for my autograph loads in her Dr Who days.

I can never see it myself but I’ve been told several times that I look like Michaela Srachan.

Always get told I look like Drew Barrymore. But I think she's just normal looking. OH always gets told he looks like Cary Grant by the older generation

Drew Barrymore but I think she’s just normal looking

What on earth is that supposed to mean? Are you only allowed to be compared to women you find beautiful?

Miranda. Even I think so. I've now lost 3.5 stone though so I'm not sure I do anymore.

Don’t want to say who because it’s too outing. But I used to get it all the time, including from random strangers on the street. Hasn’t happened for a while though, either because she’s not in anything current (I think), or because I’m getting old and no-one notices me anymore Grin

Moons ago was told by several people I looked like Billie Piper and fewer moons ago by several people that I looked like Myleene Klass. They look nothing like each other so it makes no sense at all.

Sinead o Connor when I was younger

Kpo58 · 22/04/2019 23:18

My FIL looks like David Bowie

I started being told a lot on the 90 s that I looked like Cindy Crawford. I still sometimes do.
We are the same age and I’ve not seen a recent picture of her, but I imagine the resemblance gap has widened a bit.

@LikeDolphinsCanSwim how could it possibly be outing unless you play her double....?

HildaAlida · 22/04/2019 23:23

Ness from Gavin and Stacey.

goldpendant · 22/04/2019 23:27

Nicole Kidman/Naomi Watts, I get both quite a lot, less so these days mind..... Sad

bakedbeanzontoast · 23/04/2019 00:34

Brigitte Bardot. And no I don't think I do at all - chance would be nice. Still was nice to hear though.

minipie · 23/04/2019 00:52

I used to get told I looked like Mena Suvari. And Kate Winslet once too. Wonder if we look similar Ezzie29

Aria999 · 23/04/2019 01:00

'The woman from lovejoy'. I got asked for an autograph. Still don't know who she is or what she looks like 🤣

I’ve moaned about it so much that if I say who it is, anyone who knows me in real life would know who I am.

FyEnwiYwLucy · 23/04/2019 01:18

I get told all the time** that I look like Jesy Nelson from little mix.

Aria999 · 23/04/2019 01:28

Just had a google, still no idea but looks like they're all old enough to be my mum so not great 😳

Krouse64 · 23/04/2019 02:01

My husband thinks I look like Cheryl baker from Buck’s Fizz, but everyone else thinks the actress who plays Kim Tate on emmerdale

Pinkarsedfly · 23/04/2019 02:18

Over the years I’ve been told I looked like Bridget Fonda, Dolores O’Riordan, Mary Portas and Sarah Lancashire.

I guess they’re all similar, in that they all have a head and two legs...🤷🏼‍♀️

Lobsterquadrille2 · 23/04/2019 04:54

@Aria999 Phyllis Logan? I only watched Lovejoy in the late 80s/early 90s and she's the only woman I remember.
