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!)

A fat Audrey Tautou and significantly less stylish Smile

stylenotfashion · 13/09/2011 09:33

Kate Winslet, a bit.

flimflammery · 13/09/2011 10:03

This is the kind of thread that everyone posts on and no-one reads Smile
I was once told by a stranger in a cafe that I looked like Emmanuelle Beart - I wish it were true.

Hullygully · 13/09/2011 10:04

Apparently, Meryl Streep in dungarees in sodding Mamma Mia

In my head Vicky Beckham; on planet earth Ive been told I look like that "fat one from Steps....when she isnt so fat". Bloody charming. My other half got asked if he was Ross from Friends when we was up in London years ago....however when he opens his mouth he sounds like Ray Winstone. So no was the answer to that

My niece always says thAt I look like Rachel from friends. I don't look at all like her but we are really close and she is bias.

PissesGlitter · 13/09/2011 10:30

when i was younger (a lot) i got darlene from roseanne (the daughter with the attitude problem)

i have not been told or think i look like anyone, i am just me

clam · 13/09/2011 10:34

Princess Diana. Before she died, of course.

starfleet · 13/09/2011 10:34

Audrey Hepburn - which would be lovley if it were true!!
Paula Wilcox (Man About The House - 70's sitcom)
Jennifer Beale (the Flashdance girl)

I'd like to look like a Bond girl but in reality I'm probably more of a Rosa Klebb!

littlemonkeybix · 13/09/2011 10:39

Kate Winslet (same sulky gob, but I am a lardybum) and Ozzy Osbourne (I have brown hair.... that's all I can take from that) What a combo Grin

5 years ago (when I was skinny and glam, pre-DC) I got Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Tweedy. Then it was Sophie Ellis Bextor. And now I look like no one.

pramsgalore · 13/09/2011 11:16

a telletubbie Blush Grin po though of course [the short one]

FilthyDirtyHeathen · 13/09/2011 11:25

Back in the 90's I was frequently told I looked like Ashley Judd, a sort of B-movie American actress. I can see it but must quality that I would be her less attractive older sister.

FilthyDirtyHeathen · 13/09/2011 11:26

Must 'QUALIFY' not 'Quality'

michelleseashell · 13/09/2011 11:43

A thinner, younger Roseanne or a fatter, older Wednesday Adams

etyksm · 13/09/2011 12:28

At school I was told by other girls in my class that i would look like Claudia Schiffer is I wasn't such a scruff!

I still am a Scruff ;-)

Have also been likened to Gwyneth Paltrow before now, although tbh it is normally random people telling me how I look just like this random friend of theirs, so I reckon I must just look like lots of people (Or any 6' mousey haired scruff)

Insomnia11 · 13/09/2011 12:29

Carol Vorderman, Daniella Nardini and Julia Sawalha.

Angel786 · 13/09/2011 12:34

Nicole scherzinger 2 people (I wish!)
Katie holmes when she was in damsons creek 1 person
Cher without the wardrobe ( think it's my big nose) 2 people
Tabu ( an Indian actress) 1 person

What do I think? None of the above.

Dh looks like Andrew Garfield ( the eyebrows!) and saif Ali khan (Indian actor)

zebrafinch · 13/09/2011 12:38

When younger, Aunt Sally from Worzel Gummidge TV programme

ScarlettIsWalking · 13/09/2011 12:40

Uma Thurman - in her Kill Bill phase we really looked like twins.

When I was young, thin and beautiful I would get Gwenneth Platrow ALL the time.

Now I would honestly say a fatter Cate Blanchett.

MizK · 13/09/2011 12:40

I spent my teenage years convinced/terrified I looked like Gary from Reef (in the video for Place your Hands) - had long mousy hair and a bit of a bumpy nose - I still shrink from that song and not just cause its crap.

wineoclocktimeyet · 13/09/2011 12:42

I dont think so, although a number of people say I look very common familiar.

Best one:

Woman at a toddler group said to me: "I saw someone on telly who looked just like you"

Me: Who, Liz Hurley ?(I wish!)

Woman: Totally seriously "Good God, No!" - That told me then!

NoobyNoob · 13/09/2011 12:42

I look like Megan Fox....

......yeah right! I'd say I'm more like Janet Street Porter and as equally annoying! ha!

Proudnscary · 13/09/2011 12:58

Fecking hell if I'd have known so many of you look like Uma Thurman I would never have started this thread! Envy

I am therefore retracting my 'fatter Rachel Weisz with Jack Nicholson eyebrows' and replacing with 'Catherine Zeta Jones in her hey day'.

So there.
