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?

Dh has been mistaken for Edward Snowdon. He's in the same career field too, which adds to the hilarity. He grew Abelard to throw the Feds off his tale.

JanetSnakehole · 08/02/2015 01:34

Abelard? Wtf? A beard, obv.

FightOrFlight · 08/02/2015 01:35

however, your attitude is ott.

Really?

You say you were compared to a 14 year old girl who was brutally murdered on a 'celebrity lookalike thread' and think I'm OTT when I point out it was (fucking) unnecessary to mention it?

Yeah, okay.

Hmm
HeartShapedBox · 08/02/2015 01:36

oh, go fly a kite, I've already said it was a bad choice.

mum2bubble · 08/02/2015 01:56

I've had a few, but the worst was Steven Tyler Sad

TwinkieTwinkle · 08/02/2015 02:02

Jodi Jones in a celebrity lookalike thread? Wow. Crass and wrong.

Rachel Shenton. Not a proper celebrity, ex actress from Hollyoaks. I wish I looked like her! Think it's the hair, can't see any other resemblance!

Oh I love Steven Tyler!

< flirts shamelessly with mum2bubble >

Thinking back, being compared to Courtney Love wasn't my worst either. I was told I looked like Una Stubbs after I had, what I thought, was a rather chic short bobbed haircut. This was back in her Aunt Sally/Worzel Gummidge days and I was a sensitive teenager maybe it was the heavy handed blusher Sad

Strokethefurrywall · 08/02/2015 02:58

I used to get Leilani that crap page 3 model - now I'd like to think I look like her intelligent sister.
DH looks like Justin Theroux in Charlie's Angels - better looking obviously Wink

clickers123 · 08/02/2015 05:12

I got Rene zellweger. Then the person that said it forgot that they'd said that and a couple of weeks later dropped into the conversation that she thought she was weird and ugly looking.

thereisnocheese · 08/02/2015 06:30

My husband looks exactly like Freddie Flintoff, my gran used to say he was like Prince Harry too! I used to get Davina Mccoll but don't see it myself!

GrinAndTonic · 08/02/2015 06:37

My sister says I look like Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall.

Eminybob · 08/02/2015 06:53

A long long time ago, Kelly Brook.

More recently, Jo Frost Supernanny Sad

(It's the boobs in both cases I suspect)

JollyFrog · 08/02/2015 06:55

Eileen off Corrie apparently Hmm

hestialou · 08/02/2015 07:00

Depending on how I've had hair over the years been told Monica Lewinsky (same hair cut at time she was infamous, ahhh) kirsty allsop and liv Tyler. I can see the Monica and kirsty resemblance, but would love to look like liv Tyler!

Binxboosandme · 08/02/2015 07:03

In my younger days I used to get compared to Kelly Osborne a lot. Not so much now she's gone a bit more glam and I've just gotten fatter.

Not long ago my sister showed me a picture on her phone and I thought she had a new app where you could change people's hair etc so I said, 'Oh you've made my hair purple!'

Nope it was just a pic of Kelly.

thornyhousewife · 08/02/2015 07:12

Steve Buscemi.

Mamabear14 · 08/02/2015 07:16

I get Amy Lee a lot and occasionally Dita Von Teese (I wish)

loveableshoulder · 08/02/2015 07:19

Back in the day, when x files was HUGE, everywhere I went people thought I looked just Like Gillian Anderson. Everywhere i went I got it. I used to pull on the strength of it. Japanese tourists used to take my photo because of it. It was mad. I didn't court it, but it used to happen up to ten or fifteen times a day for quite a while.

Got a bit boring really.

Nocturne123 · 08/02/2015 07:45

My dad saw a film with Emma Roberts in it and decided I looked just like her. Tiniest resemblance but bless him

Shockers · 08/02/2015 12:45

I used to get (a young)Jane Asher when I was younger. I didn't like that because I can't abide Paul Mc and I was trying to deny my reddish hair. Now it's faded and I really wish it still had that interesting glow.

The other day, my friend told me that the Irish woman in Catastrophe reminds her of me. I googled her and took it as a compliment.

AgentCooper · 08/02/2015 12:47

I got flamin' Jesse Metcalfe from Desperate Housewives.

Armpitt · 08/02/2015 12:48

this thread was ressurected by Fatlegs after two years

WTAF?

catgirl1976 · 08/02/2015 12:56

DH gets told he looks like Keanu Reeves. I don't see it, though there is a pic of him on my profile.

I used to get Lisa Loeb but thankfully her fame was short lived.

Now I would probably get Keith Richards (thanks for 3 years of no sleep DS)

Pico2 · 08/02/2015 12:58

When I was about 17 I was told I looked like Gillian Anderson. Sadly no more as one of us has let herself go.

One of DB's friends said I looked like someone from a Botticelli painting. I've just had a quick google and the Botticelli women all have their baps out, so the friend must have had a good imagination.

FightOrFlight · 08/02/2015 12:59

^ drunken stealth boast about her JLo bum? Grin

I don't know how people find these ancient threads in order to bump them. Half the time I struggle to find threads started in the last couple of days let alone years Confused

I understand if someone is googling a certain problem and find them that way but an MN celeb lookeylikey thread? Weird.

Anyway, just though of another - I was mistaken a couple of times for Siouxsie Sioux back in my punk days (which was much preferable to the earlier Una Stubbs comparison)
