Which famous person/people have you been told you look like?

I've had Martine McCutcheon, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts and Idina Menzel.

I've also been likened to Alan Davies and Hagrid 😂 think you can picture my hair 🙈

*Ooh, you like that woman from [TV show], you know, the ugly one".. Erm yeah, thanks.

A while back I was told I looked a little like Reese Witherspoon. I was well chuffed.

I’ve just had my hair cut. Yesterday a patient told me I bear a striking resemblance to Agatha Raisin. I’ve not seen it but on googling I think I prefer the Reese Witherspoon comparison…

I’ve had Taylor Swift and the girl from Amelie, but my best friend from school used to say I looked like Kiefer Sutherland! Not in a nasty way, she just genuinely thought I looked like a female version of him. Er, thanks!

BruceAndNosh · 08/03/2022 22:26

"that bloke off the telly" apparently.
Despite being a woman

Tinuviel · 08/03/2022 22:27

No one but DS1 really does look like Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe!

BuddhaForMary · 08/03/2022 22:27

Charlotte Gainsbourg on multiple occasions, and Joan Jett many times.

BillyAndTheSillies · 08/03/2022 22:29

I get Victoria Beckham or Alexa Chung a lot. DH thinks it's hilarious.

DeoForty · 08/03/2022 22:29

When I was younger I got Maggie Gyllenhaal, Lily Allen and Michelle Heaton before she started messing with her face.

Puffalicious · 08/03/2022 22:30

When younger Sarah Michelle Gellar (ta much!) now Ellen de Generes!!!

Holly Willoughby. I just need to lose about 4 stone and they'd be right!

Ifeellikedancing · 08/03/2022 22:33

I used to get Vicky McClure and Annie Lennox, that was about 4 stone ago though!

TabithaHazel · 08/03/2022 22:35

I've recently had Drew Barrymore and Norah Jones - who obviously look nothing like each other so who knows if I really look like anyone famous 🤷🏻‍♀️

CheekyHobson · 08/03/2022 22:39

Have been told Eva Green and Anna Friel many times, which seems like two quite different people but I've realised it's a lot to do with whether I'm wearing smoky eye makeup (Eva) or not (Anna).

Dullardmullard · 08/03/2022 22:40

Gillian Anderson, when she was in X-Files. It’s the red hair. Not now as I’m still a red head, Gillian is now blonde.

princessspotify · 08/03/2022 22:41

I've been told few times Kirsten Dunst

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 08/03/2022 22:41

I got Kate Winslet when younger. I get Helen McCory these days.

ShowerOfShite · 08/03/2022 22:41

A young Rose West Shock
There's a photo of her on Fred's lap, she's about 17, absolute spit of me.

Icequeen01 · 08/03/2022 22:43

Since I was in my teens I have been mistaken for Jenny Agutter. Was quite nice when we were both young. She appeared in the film American Werewolf in London. There was a shower scene which turned her into a bit of a sex goddess for a little while so I was happy to be her lookalike. Now she plays Sister Julienne in Call the Midwife it doesn't have quite the same kudos but to be fair we are both knocking on a bit now!

DukeofEarlGrey · 08/03/2022 22:45

I’m a redhead and get anyone with red hair too. Over the years that has included everyone from Nicole Kidman to Catherine Tate. I look nothing like either of them. I do look like Donna from That 70s Show and when it was popular people used to tell me so constantly.

RedRec · 08/03/2022 22:46

I have had Jodie Foster, Mary Nightingale and Janet Brown.

AiryFairy1 · 08/03/2022 22:46

Winona Ryder when much younger, thinner and had short hair - developed an instant crush on the lad that told me Grin

BusMum79 · 08/03/2022 22:47

@Sidge Reese Witherspoon here too. I used to really lap it up in the Legally Blonde era, as a great wearer of pink, especially in my 20s. I’m definitely ageing faster than her now, although she is older than me. I don’t think she looks quite as haggard on the school run somehow… certainly not in Big Little Lies! 🤣
