If only Matt Damon didn’t look exactly like my friend Derek

I quite fancy Matt. Or at least I did until
I suddenly realised he looks just like Derek, one of my (very boring) work colleagues.

Anyone else been put off someone because of a resemblance to someone you know?

Erm. Is Derek single? Asking for a friend.

Uhtred/Alexander Dreymon looks like a much better/fitter looking version of a man who I dated briefly and treated me quite badly. Thankfully that man has since put on a lot of weight and aged somewhat so the resemblance is dwindling.

Where do you work again OP? Also asking for a friend.... Am hoping it's Jason Bourne era Damon, although will accept others....

I wish to see a picture of Derek WinkGrin

Matt Damon looks like everyone’s friend Derek. Especially mooching around Dalkey in a hoodie with a SuperValu bag.

Derek does look eerily similar to Matt. But trust me, I’m doing you all a favour by keeping Derek safely in the office. His main topic of conversation is the lovely hands of Sian Lloyd, who is/was a weather person beyond compare.

My dad looks like Brad Pitt - it's weird.

If Derek looks like this,.send him this way- much better than the terrifyingly increasingly younger looking fy1 baby doctors!

Well Titania if you substitute the t-shirt for a suit that was brand new 30 odd years ago, then Derek is your nan.

Kerry is your dad single? And is he called something a bit nicer than Derek?

Off-topic but I used to work with someone who was flatsharing with Sian Lloyd (c.1990). She wasn't a fan!

I watched Downsizing last night. I think Matt was channelling his inner Derek in that film. And what a load of rubbish, two hours of my life I won't get back! Grin

Grabber - he's not single 😂 but he has a nice normal name Peter.

When he was a young teen he was the spitting image of James Dean now everyone says Brad Pitt and he really does it's strange.
2 of my male cousins all have a look of him too.

Thing Derek will be heartbroken to hear that, I’ll keep it to myself! What did your flat mate say about her?

Kerry Peter is indeed a nice name. Are the cousins single?
