In the very distant past, I used to get told a lot that I looked like Kate Bush. (I
also was once told I looked like Johnny Mathis but that's not a memory I choose to cherish).

Which celebrities have you been compared to? :)

People used to say Scarlett Johansson all the Time however I have not aged well (fat and knackered after having kids) so I no longer get this!

I've been told I look like Pocahontas, Natalie Umbruilla ( can't be arsed to google how to spell her name!) Audrey Hepburn, Rachel Leigh cook, Zooey deschanel and penelope Cruz. I don't think I really look like any of them I'm just quite Mediterranean looking.

@SimonJT Grin sorry unfortunately so lol!

shreddednips · 26/07/2020 21:29

I used to look like Duffy, but no longer. One of those 'celebrity lookalike' apps said John Belushi Confused

Cornishmendoitdrekkly · 26/07/2020 21:36

I am told I have more than a passing likeness for Fern Britton. We have a similar build too.

LightDrizzle · 26/07/2020 21:36

Anthea Turner, Princess Diana (only abroad) and Stan Laurel.

I don’t look much like the first two.

LightDrizzle · 26/07/2020 21:37

Shredded John Belushi! That’s brilliant!

belvoirbeaver · 26/07/2020 21:38

Jennifer Lawrence apparently. I can't see it myself

Sandi Toksvig

Bit more flattering for me than for her.

I was paired up with a blind lady on a course once, who was absolutely convinced that I was Sandi using another name to stay incognito.

Until I arrived at her house one day while Sandi was broadcasting live. Only then was she convinced ...

Martine McCutcheon ( apparently I looked like her double in the Perfect Moment video - though note it was shot in very dark scenes 😂) and more recently Coleen Nolan !!

Ylfa · 26/07/2020 21:47

My top lookalikes according to bonkers app - none of us look anything like each other 😂

Northernsoullover · 26/07/2020 21:49

I was told once I look like Emilia Fox. Note: once.

Patsypie · 26/07/2020 21:53

Madonna. Constantly. But even she doesn't look like herself now.

VioletGrace · 26/07/2020 21:54

I get told on a regular basis that I look like Amanda Holden. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing though as I've seen threads on here where posters have said she's not very good looking 😥

SrMichael · 26/07/2020 21:55

‘Celebrity’ is probably a bit of a stretch, but when I was younger I was frequently taken for Judi Trott (Maid Marian in Robin of Sherwood) because I had a big mop of curly red hair and was pale and flat chested. The downside was that some people seemed to think it meant I was shagging Michael Praed and/or Jason Connery, or that I was to blame for MP leaving the series.

CodenameLevonelle · 26/07/2020 22:03

Lorraine Macintosh from Deacon Blue and EnyaConfused I don't think I look like either but I do have a classic Celtic look of dark hair, pale skin and green eyes so maybe that's it. I was once told I looked like someone fit and glamorous (I fail to remember who) but that was a bloke trying to cop off with me so I paid him no heed

CodenameLevonelle · 26/07/2020 22:04

@cockneysalad omg you have met Paul McGann? I've had a crush on him since The Monocled Mutineer - showing my age now!

BombyliusMajor · 26/07/2020 22:05

My DH used to look exactly like Christopher Eccleston when he was Dr Who. I'm often told I look like Claire Danes in Homeland.

TheDogsMother · 26/07/2020 22:08

For years I was told I looked like Lisa Minnelli and also Annie Lennox. DP is a short George Cloony Grin

InappropriateFire · 26/07/2020 22:12

Patsypie I used to get Madonna! And Michelle Pfieffer a few times. But they don’t really look like each other so go figure ...
VioletGrace Amanda Holden is very good looking but she’s had too much work done. If you look like her before the Botox and fillers lucky you, just enjoy it 🙂

MoverOfPaper · 26/07/2020 22:18

I used to get Michelle Pfieffer, Angelica Jolie, kylie, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and even Kate Moss. Now I look like my dad.

Mammyloveswine · 26/07/2020 22:20

Kate winslet!

longcoffeebreak · 26/07/2020 22:22

Kate Moss - when I was young and had a bad eating disorder 😬

Bubbletrouble43 · 26/07/2020 22:22

In my teens I used to get told by strangers I looked like winona ryder. I'm a sort of chubby tired looking version of her now 😂

cosmo30 · 26/07/2020 22:31

Cameron Diaz when I was younger, and occasionally Debby harry
