Me: A shorter, fatter Rachel Weisz

(Yes I'm bored. Yes it's been done before - in fact I think by me about two years ago!)

About 20 years ago I was Josie Lawrence's stunt double for an episode of a sitcom that died. We both had long dark hair and that was about it.

Last week I was told I looked like Roxy Mitchell's (Eastenders if you are like me and don't watch it) fatter, older, sister. Sob....

People used to tell me that I looked like Meg from Sunset Beach, then Janine from eastenders, then unfortunately the fat one from Emmerdale Sad. I think I need to go on a diet.

Ava Gardner, but a very inflated and puffy version at 37 weeks pregnant.

FairPhyllis · 13/09/2011 01:53

Several people have told me Cate Blanchett. I'm pretty happy with that Grin

I have a real-life doppelganger too, who is a friend. We look so like each other that when we lived in the same town total strangers used to stop me in the street to chat thinking I was her. When people meet us together socially they often assume we are sisters.

Apparently I look like Anna from "This Life" but in my head I think I look like Noemie Lenoir

Poorer, Older, shorter, less attractive version of joss stone

SlinkingOutsideInSocks · 13/09/2011 03:25

I've been told I look like a rake of different people, all of whom look nothing like each other...

CZJ (used to get her all the time but it's been many a year since the last time)
Hayley Mills
Agnetha from Abba
Molly Ringwald
Alyssa Milano
Liv Tyler
Alicia Silverstone
Samantha from the 60s TV version of Bewitched

I've had Neve Campbell and Kate Beckinsale - I was flattered but not deluded.

DaisyheadMayzie · 13/09/2011 03:42

Lots of different people, over the years. When I was a teenager, it was Jerry Hall and Daryl Hannah (think the long blonde hair might have been the connection). Early 20s, it was announced over the tannoy in a night club that I was Sarah Jessica Parker (except two foot taller, but yes, the long blonde hair was now curly). And only the other week my BIL and SIL were debating whether I looked more like Celine Dion or Uma Thurman (Uma, please Uma!!!). I can see a similarity in these women, and whilst I didn't want to look like Jerry Hall when I was 16 and she was 40, I wouldn't be unhappy about it now!

Somewhere between Laetitia Dean & Fern Britton (when she was smiley,cheerful & still on this tv).

I have been compared to Ozzy twice, both occasions I was drunk so fair enough. Otherwise, I'd say Wellard from Eastenders

Proudnscary · 13/09/2011 07:58

'Apparently' and 'shorter, fatter' to balance out a poss stealth boast! Ha ha.

Ok if I'm going by what others have said - then Rachel Weisz, Tracy Ullman of 80s fame, George Michael, Jack Nicholson!!! You get the idea I am dark with scary eyebrows right??

I've been told....

Kate Winslet
Drew Barrymore
Scarlett Johanssen
Britney Spears Hmm

Yes I know - none of them look similar Grin

carabos · 13/09/2011 08:21

Jan Francis (Just Good Friends).

HowlingBitch · 13/09/2011 08:31

The red queen from Disneys 'Alice in wonderland'.

Now off with your head!

Bubbaluv · 13/09/2011 09:01

I've been told Toni Collette and Uma Therman.
I like the idea of looking like Uma Therman, but I live near Toni Collette and once stood behind her while waiting for a coffee in a cafe and I'm afraid I really do look a lot like her.

thekidsmom · 13/09/2011 09:08

Elle McPherson (you'll never know!!!!)

I have had

Jodie Foster
Gloria Estephan (when I was younger and didn't die my hair)
Kate Hudson (I wish...)

TheSandstoneCat · 13/09/2011 09:22

Poor old Dervla Kirwan - she'd sue if she met me. Still, enough different people have told me that I guess there must be something in it!

Cereal · 13/09/2011 09:22

John Prescott

PersonalJesus · 13/09/2011 09:23

Oh no! I was an "apparently" poster... No offence to Daniella Nardini or anything but I have no desire to be told I have her "strong" chin. it hurt my feelings somewhat

Which is why in my head I want to be Noemie Lenoir.
