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? :)

A friend of mine looks uncannily like the actress from Mad Men and the handmaids tale (don’t know her name)

There is one particular promo shot that could actually be my friend, she posted it on Facebook as I don’t think she could quite believe it wasn’t her!

I am a woman and have been told countless times that I look like...... Leonardo diCaprio. It is not my coloring but the shape of my features and face. Hard to take as a compliment but hard to ignore as it happens too often.

Well according to what my DD did with my photo here she thinks Hagrid and me are one and the same (thats not my hair by the way!) I still prefer the Mr Bean reference to Hagrid.

Annie Lennox when I was young, I won a comp as a lookalike and used to get shouted at in the street, oi Annie!

DP , Richard Gere - he was once up a ladder and asked if he was; yeah he said, I'm moonlighting up here

22 years ago I got mistaken for Emma bunton
Not anymore 😩

Beelips · 27/07/2020 06:32

Emilia Clarke a few times. I see it a little bit. Scarlet Johansson once or twice - I can’t see that one at all (I wish 😆).

Bluesheep8 · 27/07/2020 06:37

I was once told by a hairdresser that I looked like Natalie Imbruglia. That was a long time ago. I think i look like Peter Kay now.

Katharinablum · 27/07/2020 06:41

Paula wilcox - used to be in man about the house (I'm old !) and was in corrie. Not sure if she still is Hmm

VenusStarr · 27/07/2020 06:41

I used to get told I looked like Neve Campbell a lot.

elQuintoConyo · 27/07/2020 06:46

Hattie Jacques. It gets me discounts.

GreenLeafTurnip · 27/07/2020 06:51

The actress who played Sabrina in the 90s. Can't remember her name without googling

DD has been asked for selfies and autographs as Jodie Comer. She does a really good Villanelle impression too.

DH apparently looks like some prankster from the internet. We once got free drinks at a food festival because a guy on a stall found whoever it is hilarious and refused to believe it wasn't him.

lobster12 · 27/07/2020 07:50

I've been told on 3 occasions I look like Zac Effron. I'm female and can't see it at all

lemoncarafe · 27/07/2020 07:55

It's said that Julianne Moore is my doppelgänger.
I'll take it!

lemoncarafe · 27/07/2020 07:56

Oh, and my husband used to (maybe still does from a distance) look like Daniel Craig.

OllyBJolly · 27/07/2020 08:01

Twice now I've been mistaken for Diana Rigg. She is 25 years older than me but I was still quite flattered.

TroysMammy · 27/07/2020 08:03

Kylie, same age, same height and had the same body shape. Not so much now.

Hayley Mills. I was serving a Christmas lunch to older members of the community when I was in 6th form and a dear lady said I looked like her. I couldn't see it myself as she is blond and I'm not.

IKEA888 · 27/07/2020 08:04

not quite the same. but locally there's someone who I must look like as I get mistaken for her constantly.
I wonder if she gets the same !

Longdistance · 27/07/2020 08:12

In my 20’s random people at work used to come up to me and say I looked like Julia Roberts from mystic pizza. Apart from my dark hair, I couldn’t see it myself. Was strange.
I used to work with someone who looked the spits of Kate Moss. She used to walk into shops and get mistaken for her.

HeidiHoNeighbour · 27/07/2020 08:19

Davina McCall. Actually get asked for photos.

I maybe younger than her but she is a lot slimmer and fit!

HeidiHoNeighbour · 27/07/2020 08:21

An ex is an absolute double of Tom Hardy.
I just remember hairy hands and bad sex...

MNX42 · 27/07/2020 08:23

When I was young Charlie's Angels was big, and I occasionally got told I looked like Kate Jackson. Now I apparently look like Sarah Palin. My dog is a Spit The Dog lookalike!

RedRec · 27/07/2020 08:31

Another Jodie Foster here.
And Les Dennis Shock

Luckingfovely · 27/07/2020 09:29

Always been told that I look like Billie Piper. Was slightly awkward while she was in the prostitution role Grin.

DH is a clear ringer for Steve Redgrave (no complaints Wink) .

doadeer · 27/07/2020 09:30

I used to get Amy Winehouse a lot when I was a teenager.

DP says I look like Scarlet Johnson ha! Smooth talker. I have a big nose and big lips.

DP looks like Simon from Blue crossed with Tinnie Tempah
