Are you a look alike for a celebrity?

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? :)

Bonnie Tyler
And - if my son is feeling cheeky - Lilly Savage😁

I do bear a striking resemblance to Beverly Goldberg (The Goldbergs )

Nanny McPhee, the warty version

Vanessa feltz. In her larger incarnation.

Jessica Simpson (only face not body sadly..)

@MoverOfPaper now this is weird- I've had all of those too, apart from Sophie E-B! (Not for many moons though).

I wonder if we look similar!! (Not posting a pic of me these days though- I never actually did look like any of them and am certainly haggard to the max now!)

Bjork. At the time, as a teenager, I was NOT flattered. Now I think it's kind of cool but noone compares me to her now.

My DD looks like Keira Knightly and wishes she had a quid for every time someone had told her, as she'd be absolutely minted. I used to look a bit like her (eyes and hair) but DD is an absolute dead ringer.

@CaptainCorellisPangolin
When I was a child, I used to wander around the house in jeans and nothing else and was told by my parents I looked like Iggy Pop. Bit of a stretch for a seven year old girl but alrighty.
Not much since then, I have a bit of an odd face

Love this🤣 when my 9 year old wears animal print leggings & no top I call her Steven Tyler!

I've been told a number of times that I look like Meg Ryan in her when Harry meet Sally days.

IdblowJonSnow · 27/07/2020 23:31

My (very loveblind) DH told me only this eve that I look like audrey Hepburn- I really dont! Grin
Bless him!

HoobleDooble · 27/07/2020 23:34

Used to be a pre-surgery Dani Minogue or a brunette Debbie Harry. Nowadays I'm more Bella Emburg, my DS recently asked me if I like Meatloaf because I really look like him.

@Sheeshisthatthetime
I look less like Sophie Ellis-B than o do the others, and they all look younger than me. I’m haggered! Maybe you’re my actual doppelgänger! You’ve been spotted by various friends of mine, but also not for a few years.

HoobleDooble · 27/07/2020 23:38

My boss when I was 18 used to call me Mort as I looked so much like Morticia Adams (the original black and white one).

JustHavinABreak · 27/07/2020 23:39

In my late teens and early twenties, I used to be told I looked like Katie Holmes (we're about the same age). Now she looks amazing and I look like someone who's barely holding her shit together with 3 kids running rings around her. So yeah, I can tell my offspring I was cute once (but they won't believe me) Hmm

MollyWindley · 27/07/2020 23:39

When I was younger people used to say I looked like Grace Slick ( but without the musical talent!)

OneWildNightWithJBJ · 27/07/2020 23:39

Many years ago I was told I looked like Kate Moss quite a lot. Also Catherine Zeta Jones and once Kate Winslet!

SingingWaffleDoggy · 27/07/2020 23:40

I’d like to think I look like The Duchess of Cambridge. In reality, I used to be compared to Anne Hathaway but as I’ve aged more people are saying Olivia Colman. I much preferred the Anne Hathaway comparison, I’m only early thirties!
DH has been told several times he looks like Jamie Redknapp.

Badtasteflump · 27/07/2020 23:45

Years ago a few people said I looked like Monica Lewinsky (sp?). And equally years ago I would regularly be told I was the double of Catherine Zeta Jones - don't know if that means Monica Lewinsky and CZJ look similar? I was 'spotted' once by a TV bod who wanted me to appear on a show about professional lookalikes - although I wasn't one. I said as much and was told I didn't matter, the important bit was that I looked like CZJ and they could improvise the rest 😂. I went along to the studios for a couple of meetings then chickened out and never went back ☺.

Sheeshisthatthetime · 27/07/2020 23:50

@MoverOfPaper I do have an identical twin- you're not her are you?!

KatDubs261 · 27/07/2020 23:52

I've had Amanda Seyfried and Cristina Ricci. They dont look anything like each other do they?

MrsCrosbyNRTB · 27/07/2020 23:52

Before I had children I used to get told I looked a lot Kate Pierson from the B52s. I can sort of see it but think it’s mainly the red hair. I can’t sing a single note, mind.......

NiceGerbil · 27/07/2020 23:54

Years ago when boogie Nights was out I was out for a curry with a load of blokes and one said I looked like heather Graham in that film.

They all had a good look at me and agreed.

That was comfortable.

Other than that, no.

MoverOfPaper · 28/07/2020 00:00

@Sheeshisthatthetime OMG there are three of us!

SkiingIsHeaven · 28/07/2020 00:07

I get told that I look like my dog.

He's a big brown shaggy mongrel.
