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? :)

I used to get Leilani (the page 3 "model") and one/twice time dater of footballers.
This was back in the early 2000s. Then I got bizarrely (and not accurately at all!) the lead singer of the pussycat dolls (forgot her name, can't be bothered to google). More than likely because I'm mixed heritage, had long dark hair and can alternately look Indian, Asian or Mediterranean.

Most recently have been told I really remind a colleague of the late, great Natasha Richardson. Despite not being blonde. I think it's the British accent... 🧐 That was my most flattering comparison!

Not me but my son gets told all the time he looks like jack Whitehall

When I was 22 I was told I looked like Nana Mouskouri.

I had to Google it as I had no idea who she was. Basically I have dark hair and glasses. But she looks great so I'll take that Grin.

Less flatteringly, I've also been told that I look like Ed Byrne. Again, glasses and dark hair. 😂

DH had more than a passing resemblance to Michael Caine. He used to get told that on a weekly basis.

He also has been told he looks like Roger Daltry - and did.

Pierce Brosnan, Gabriel Byrne, Aiden Gillen, Paul McGann, Sean Gleeson, the bloke who played the husband of the female lead in the Netflix series, White Lines... plus much any other vaguely well known Irish actor.

I used to get told Brigitte Bardot all the time when I was younger also Claudia Schiffer (I am assuming they meant a much watered-down and chunkier version of both even then!). It's been a while though. Anna Nicole Smith more recently.

AlexisCarringtonColbyDexter · 29/07/2020 08:21

All my friends call me "Liz" because they say I look exactly like Liz hurley.

I'll take it! there are far worse people to be compared to

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.....

Cool!

A mad woman in Boots screamed out loudly that I looked "like that comedian, you know, that woman" Screeches louder "The fat one!"
Now even louder in case someone in Hammersmith did not hear "Who is it , that fat comedian?" Me: whispers "I think you mean Jo Brand". She wasn't listening and still screeched all round the shop. Probably still there, screeching....

Yes I am fat and female but really do not look like her. She has bigger eyes, shorter hair and fuller lips. Her skin looks very good too!

Mandalalorianna · 29/07/2020 10:30

Jo Brand. I am hugely flattered Grin

Mandalalorianna · 29/07/2020 10:33

Wow, mad coincidence @death

Zenithbear · 29/07/2020 10:39

I used to get Patsy Kensit
Now it's Cate Blanchett and Joanna Lumley

peakygal · 29/07/2020 10:48

My nickname was Nelly when I was younger as people thought I looked like Nelly Furtado (couldn't see it myself). My oldest DD came across a pic of me a few years back, wearing sunglasses and said I looked like Steve Tyler 😂 not my most favourite compliment

fornowmaybe · 29/07/2020 10:51

I used to get told I looked like Selena Gomez. I've definitely grown out of looking anything like her now imo 🤔🤣

Deathraystare · 29/07/2020 10:52

I do remember a moment when I was compared to a page 3 girl! Only because we both had kohl in our eyes! I had the bigger tits actually!

Jocasta2018 · 29/07/2020 10:58

My cousin looks like Donny Osmond. From when he was young to now in his late 50s, he's ageing exactly the same!
He doesn't sound like him as he has a thick West Country accent and can't sing for toffee.
I just look like me.

Scruffyoak · 29/07/2020 10:59

someone that was in big brother. I had loads of texts saying she looks like me. :/

ladybirdsarelovely33 · 29/07/2020 12:02

Nick Rhodes when he had dark big hair. Hmm
And more favourably Melanie Blatt from All Saints

Deathraystare · 29/07/2020 15:13

Jocasta2018

Your cousin looks like him AND has a West Country accent! Scream!!!!!
Let me at him!

SidesteppinTheRona · 30/07/2020 13:13

My DD is the image of Soairse Ronan. Has been remarked upon by various people.

Sheeshisthatthetime · 30/07/2020 15:29

@Deathraystare your Boots experience description is hilarious!

margaritasbythesea · 30/07/2020 15:35

I am but I don't know who it is. For the last 20 years or so I have been asked every three or four months by strangers I come across if I am, 'that actress,' but they can never tell me which one. I convinced myself it was Joan Cusack but my family say not.
