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!)

I was mistaken for Selina Scott on a number of occasions years ago, before she faded into obscurity.

I would like to see her again to try and judge if she is aging as well as I am. [preens, nervously]

Someone told me yesterday that I look like "that mad evil witch from Harry Potter!" Great, thanks!

flatbellyfella · 13/09/2011 15:03

Clint Eastwood. Make my day.
I'll be back!!!! Can't see it myself though.

Uma Thurman, constantly, which I'm never sure if it's a good or bad thing, and once by an old lady, that gardening woman Charlie Dimmick (and I wasn't even bra-less)!!

DP's mum said to him that I looked like Shilpa Shetty (sp?) not so much now I have put on a million and one stone Sad

My boss said to me the other day that my hair looked like Myleene Klass's. I think it was a nice way of him saying I am fat but at least my hair is shiny Hmm

I think Uma Thurman is definitly a good thing vintagewarrior.

I was once followed through the main square in Barcelona by a group of South Americans who thought I was Kirsten Dunst - was v. exciting. This was in 2003 and no one has said it for a few years now .

My DD's friends think I look like Rachel Stevens. I'm nearly old enough to be her mum so I was pretty happy with that.

However as I was told several times, about 10 years ago, that I looked like Amanda Holden [before the botox etc] and Amanda and Rachel look nothing like each other, I think I probably look like neither.

rimmer08 · 13/09/2011 15:35

apparently i look like jen from the IT crowd

Spuddybean · 13/09/2011 15:53

I have naturally very dark (long) hair so i have been told i look like Carla Bruni and Jennifer Connely. Occasionally dita von teese. Once lily allen. and my dad reckons kate bush.

When i had long red hair Jessica Rabbit (without the knockers).

When i had blonde hair (a mistake a long time ago) i was told i looked like Karen Brady.

Just got an open plain face i think which people see different things in.

mumsamilitant · 13/09/2011 15:59

Was a dead ringer for Barbara Streisand had a right great big shonker, thanks Dad had a mans nose on a girls face. Got it sorted!

JentlyDoesIt · 13/09/2011 16:04

Ds once said I looked like Princess Fiona - the ogre version Grin

I've been told I look like Jane Goldman but with smaller norks Grin

3boys1cat · 13/09/2011 16:16

There used to be a character on Eastenders called Mary Smith (she was a punk). We're talking 1980s, and I had a bit of a goth look myself. Anyway, I got asked for my autograph several times by people thinking I was her. I think I even signed one once for a taxi driver who thought I was lying when I said I wasn't her!

MrFranklyShankly · 13/09/2011 16:27

the hubby said when he first met me that I reminded him of Monica from Friends (looks wise, most definitley not in the cleaning department!) so recently while watching the 900th repeat of friends I asked him did I still remind him of Monica.....and he said I now more resemble Nana Mouskouri.......nice!

WhoseGotMyEyebrows · 13/09/2011 16:44

Wonder Woman!

FlubbaBubba · 13/09/2011 17:09

Oh, sorry, just read your post at the top of this page OP, but was told when I was younger that I looked like Uma Thurman too (once by my boyfriend's mother, while watching Dangerous Liaisons while Malkovic was writing on the naked back of Thurman Hmm Blush. Was also likened to Jodie Foster as a teen. I WISH!
Would have been happy with looking like either of those, but DD1 saw a picture of Clare Balding the other day and said it looked like me :( :o Hmm

CustardIsMyNemesis · 13/09/2011 17:23

My 3 year old DD thinks a picture we have hanging on the wall of Debbie Harry in her Blondie hey-day is me Grin

My Dad used to say I looked like Agnetha from Abba when I was younger. I have a very blind lovely family :)

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 13/09/2011 17:37

OK NOW I AM GETTING PARANOID - WHY DOES EVERYONE LOOK LIKE UMA THURMAN?

mummylouise · 13/09/2011 18:08

DP thinks Christina Hendricks. Prob because of boobs!

IvaNighSpare · 13/09/2011 18:45

Pre-kids I used to gt told a lot that I looked like Rikki Lake.
Two rugrats, ten years and several stone later I'm probably more like Ricky Tomlinson.

Jently my ex-SIL really did look like Princess Fiona as an ogre. My brother, now happily re-married now agrees!

FlubbaBubba · 13/09/2011 18:46

We're all floating around gorgeous and serene, like Uma Thurman à la Stepford Wives Proud Wink (or kicking ass dressed in yellow biker gear with swords and all that). :o

osd · 13/09/2011 18:51

BF thinks i look like the lead character in A Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. Same hair, same piercings, similar (ish) but God what a character to be compared to never heard of it until she mentioned it, quick google and yeah looks like me, but what a terrible story. Shock

foreveryours · 13/09/2011 18:52

I've been told that me and Thandie Newton must have been separated at birth, lucky her! Grin

happy2bhomely · 13/09/2011 19:27

I've been told I look like kirsten dunst, and Linda barker! I think i'm going to look like Glen close as I get older. Could be worse I suppose.
