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? :)

Twice now, I have been asked to autograph a menu. I’m not Raymond Blanc, he’s far too tidy.

I get Kirsty Gallagher alot

Sarah Silverman. Not very well known here but famous in the US. Know it's coming when someone says to me, you look just like that comedian...

SuperficialSuzie · 26/07/2020 22:44

I'm a fat Nigella apparently.

When I shaved DS' head in lockdown he looked like Will Poulter.

SidesteppinTheRona · 26/07/2020 22:48

Bjork. I look like Bjork, apparently. Was first told that in approx 1988 and several times since by different people.

I pursued DH (some 32 years ago) because he looked a lot like a young Morrissey - my ideal of male gorgeousness then.

Not me but dh looks kinda like a slightly slimmer James Corden. My brother in law is the absolute double of olympic runner Roger Black.

@TheDogsMother

For years I was told I looked like Lisa Minnelli and also Annie Lennox. DP is a short George Cloony Grin
My friend is an absolute dead ringer for Liza Minnelli - same haircut, everything.

I've been told I look like (in no particular order): Pauline Collins (I can see that one - I actually did a double take watching Shirley Valentine the other week), Gillian Anderson in the X Files and Sarah Ferguson.

DH looks like a gold medal winning athlete and was approached by another well known athlete (silver) for a selfie which he then sent to said athlete who responded with "spooky". Makes fancy dress parties very easy Grin

Back in the 80s when I was a teenager, I got told I looked like Chrissie Hynde. I think I had the haircut and the eyeliner!

FudgeBrownie2019 · 26/07/2020 23:21

I get told I look like Clare Danes - she's clearly a) American b) ridiculously beautiful and c) nothing like me but it makes me smile when people say it.

Commentutappelles · 26/07/2020 23:23

I have been told by several people that I look like the historian Bettany Hughes.

Anotherdayanothernight · 26/07/2020 23:34

A young Kathleen Turner, had to google it

AsanteSana · 26/07/2020 23:42

Freddie Kruger - Nightmare on Elm Street - especially when I have my hat on!😂😂😂

Tillygetsit · 27/07/2020 02:04

A young Diane Keaton and a young Janet Street Porter. Thank God people put the young in! Must be the specs.

Jenasaurus · 27/07/2020 02:23

People said to when they saw my mum as a teenager, oh she looks like a young queen Elizabeth, she really did, from her photos.

Jenasaurus · 27/07/2020 02:24

My DC say I look like Mr Bean - My fault I used to impersonate him and now they cant see anything else

Yankathebear · 27/07/2020 02:25

Snuffleupagus. People have always commented on it. I really can’t see it myself!

DemDem94 · 27/07/2020 02:30

I’ve been told I look like Nina Dobrev that was a couple of years ago.

minipie · 27/07/2020 03:08

Mena Suvari, but that was a long time ago. Now she provides me with a pretty good idea of what I’d look like if I had no kids, Botox and a daily personal trainer Grin

ohtheholidays · 27/07/2020 03:27

Audrey hepburn,I've never seen it myself but my parents did and so does my DH and our DC.

We went to Madame Taussaud's last year and they had a waxwork of Audrey hepburn staged from when she starred in Breakfast at Tiffanys and my DH got me to stand along side it and he took my picture and my DC said they could see the likeness straight away and a few people in madame taussaud's agreed with them.

I've also been compared to Jessica Rabbit in the past,Haha,the only simularity we have is were both red heads with big lips,big boobs and some curves.

BingoDingo · 27/07/2020 03:32

I get Vicky Butler-Henderson all the time! Had no clue who she was the first time it was said, but I do see the likeness!

longtimecomin · 27/07/2020 03:39

A flat chested version of Melinda messenger

LunaNorth · 27/07/2020 03:43

When I was young, Bridget Fonda, which looking back, I can kind of see.

When I first got together with DH, he used to say I looked like Jennifer Nettles (dreadful honking country singer). I think he had love goggles on, bless him.

Most recently a chap on a course I’m doing told me I look like Emily Mortimer. I look more like her dad.

HeronLanyon · 27/07/2020 03:58

I have been told cate Blanchet but not for some years Grin
There was a period of a few years when in Spain I was photographed a couple of times people did double takes and was once asked for my autograph - always I think by french people. I assumed I looked like some french celeb - never did find out who.
Abroad worldwide I am ALWAYS thought to be French. Not sure why.

rubydoobydoo · 27/07/2020 04:20

One of my clients once told me that I look exactly like the girl with the dog who won Britain's Got Talent. I hadn't watched it, but I looked her up and he was right!

I just googled her again to check and she is still my doppelganger!

Eminybob · 27/07/2020 04:51

About 20 years ago I used to get told I looked like Kelly Brook a lot. I could never see it myself, I think it was more to do with my boobs than my face!

When I first met DH and he used to shave his head, I thought he looked like a bespectacled Dermot O’Leery. He definitely doesn’t any more, but he has aged a hell of a lot better than I have.
