Original poster

To be pissed off with my celebrity look-a-like?

Went for lunch with a friend (Heidi Klum) look-a-like yesterday. She was playing the 'ooh - which gorgeous supermodel do I look like game'. Bit boring and predictable as she really does.What a fisher. Anyhoos, I came out as Vic Reeves... not a young one either. Ran to loo to adjust winkle pickers and novelty leggings only to stare into the face of... Vic Reeves. Everywhere I go Vic is staring out at me.Am uncanny spit.
Which celeb do you look like but would rather not?

Why does it matter if it's a zombie thread???

It doesn't when it's just a fun one like this rather than someone asking for help in the OP, though I think Crapbag is probably talking to a poster from nearly 2 years ago!

I was told I look like dido, Sarah cox, and a bit like Catherine zeta jones, when I said blonde and brunette?!?! They said no, you all have the same squinty eyes!! Haha!

I was told I looked like 'a young Elizabeth Taylor' many moons ago. Much drink had been taken. We both do/did have very dark hair though, think that was it.

Nowadays, even on a good day, no-one would even think 'an old Liz Taylor'.

I have a strict policy of only remembering the good lookalike comments. The Miss Piggys are immediately discarded. However one of my neighbours (female) is an absolute dead ringer for Alan Carr.

Kate Winslet in titanic even my mum suggested it the other day, I don't see it myself

In the 70s when big glasses were in fashion I used to get told I looked like Deidre from Corrie. Then everyone said I looked like Lesley Anne Down from Upstairs Downstairs. About 4 years ago someone in a pub asked for my autograph thinking I was Dawn French because of my long dark bob with fringe, now I have a short white platinum crop I got told the other day I look just like Pat Butcher!

An extremely sleep deprived Roseanne, in desperate need of a hairdresser Confused

Grin Brecon
At Hallowe'en, DD put a foam skull mask on and then put her glasses over it, and she was the spitting image of Alan Carr!

Nancy lamb. I'm not Asian

My ex next door neighbour (female) was the spitting image of Kenneth Williams.

Lea Delaria, aka 'Big Boo' from Orange is the New Black.
I think she has serious edge but she was born in 58 ... I was born in 88 lol

HeartShapedBox · 08/02/2015 01:06

when I was a teenager, I used to get kelly Osbourne (we both had pink spiky hair) or rather disturbingly, Jody Jones (RIP)

a couple of years ago, I was likened to bloody nessa from gavin &stacy Hmm

and yesterday, 15 month old ds2 was adamant that katie I can cook was me... nonononono!
although I've always thought she looks really like my niece, hey ho.

in fact, I remember ds1 at about the same age being adamant Kylie minogue was me pmsl Confused

Sideshow Bob(but this secretly pleases me)

FightOrFlight · 08/02/2015 01:13

or rather disturbingly, Jody Jones (RIP)

If you mean Jodi Jones then that's pretty fucking unnecessary Hmm hardly a celebrity

LeaveItItsNotWorthIt · 08/02/2015 01:29

When my hair was short I was told a lot i looked like billy corgan and also Gerard way. Ive also had cristina ricci. None of which are remotely true im sure. Dp gets Hugh jackman a lot (lucky me!)

HeartShapedBox · 08/02/2015 01:31

well no, she's not a "celebrity"- bad choice. it scared me at the time though as we were the same age and we did look similar.

however, your attitude is ott.
