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?

I got mistaken for Sarah Palin a couple of times

emmelinelucas · 08/02/2015 13:18

I look like Ruth Madoc "Hi De Hi"
Did when I was younger and still do now, as we have both aged.
Let's face it, she's gorgeous ! Grin

FlabbyMummy · 08/02/2015 13:21

I got told mine was Janet StreetPorter , contact lenses and hair dye purchased within a week.... Now I get Sarah Palin

Jakadaal · 08/02/2015 13:23

In my 20s one bloke insisted I looked like Gloria Hunniford Confused more often than not I get Victoria Wood - both lovely people am sure but .....

cleanasawhistle · 08/02/2015 13:24

In my younger days I looked like Kim Wilde....I took that as a complement.

I8toys · 08/02/2015 13:33

I've had Nicole Kidman when my was hair long but also Anne frickin Robinson when I had short hair.

DH.

Years ago, when the Via Veneto was the go-to place to be at night, we were there most nights,...Wink. American tourists celebrity spotting and tanked up, used to ask him for his autograph, insisting he was,,,,David Niven? More he said no, more they insisted, so eventually he signed their restaurant menus, whatever, with his own name, whispering confidentially..."keep this to yourself, won't you?" And off they'd waddle.

Great fun, but then we moved to the UK. Local shop, deepest Gloucestershire, the lady owner said to me..".your oh reminds me of someone. One of those film stars, you know....one of the old ones?"

Grin

Weird. The voice was similar, but the age/looks? Confused

Dawndonnaagain · 08/02/2015 15:19

Nana Mouskouri when young.
Sophia Loren when in my 20s
Now I'm in my 50s and look like Roseanne Barr.
Damnit!

JohnPlayingDarts · 08/02/2015 15:23

I am the female Craig Revel Horwood sigh

JohnPlayingDarts · 08/02/2015 15:25

Soz just noticed this is a zombie.

Ilovereadingbooks · 08/02/2015 15:51

I met dh when i was 21, so eons ago.. He said i looked a bit like Cybill Shepherd of Moonlighting fame.. Now i just look like the Shepherd bit.

QueenBean · 08/02/2015 15:55

Kate Middleton, all the bloody time

I have blow dried hair and a slightly posh voice, that's literally all we have in common

Ilovereadingbooks · 08/02/2015 15:59

Queen, i would love to look like Kate ( and have some of her money and slender frame but not the husband or fame. Or Camilla as step mum in law)

gingerbreadmam · 08/02/2015 16:02

when i got my first proper job 12+ years ago my boss always told me i looked like gemma atkinson who was lisa hunter in hollyoaks. i neger saw it tbh now id be like 3 gemma atkinsons stuck together minus the boobs too.

my nanna also had a framed photo of me in her front room and apparently her plumber asked her why she had posters of britney spears Grin i think he was jus brightening an old dears day. bar the blonde hair n being slim at the time i looked nothing like britney.

Enormouse · 08/02/2015 16:04

Parminder Nagra Hmm, though probably because we're both Indian and youngish.

liquidstateisonthemulled · 08/02/2015 16:10

Paul Merton. Had to grow my hair long because of it.

Anyone remember the thing a while back that you uploaded a photo to and it said 67% Heidi Klum 4% princess diana. Well all my friends posted theirs and were 50% Audrey Hepburn or whatever.

I was 87% Dustin Hoffman. Hmm

Summeblaze · 08/02/2015 16:10

DH looks like Freddie Prinze Jr.

Bexicles · 08/02/2015 16:12

I used to get Andrea Corr a lot in the nineties. Smile

HouseAtreides · 08/02/2015 16:17

I look like nobody!
However when POTC came out DH used to be told he looked like Orlando Bloom- it was a bit of a running joke. Now he looks like Orlando Bloom would if he lifted heavy things for a living and in the gym, rarely shaved and was generally a bit dishevelled!

Charlotte3333 · 08/02/2015 16:22

I get told I look like Claire Danes a lot. What I actually look like is Claire Danes' older plump sister with anger issues (I've got wrinkles on the forehead from permanently being surprised by the children's stupidity.)

morethanpotatoprints · 08/02/2015 16:24

When my hair is short, long atm.
I look like Stockard Channing.

My dh looks the spit of Walter Matthau.? spelling. Grin

supersop60 · 08/02/2015 16:33

Wendy Craig. sigh

EveBoswell · 08/02/2015 16:43

I was once told that I look like the Queen. Only once. My hair is the same colour and the same sort of style but not quite. Her clothes are totally different from mine Grin.

BellsUpMyNose · 08/02/2015 16:48

in my younger days i was told by a few people that i looked like the nutter in the hand that rocks the cradle these days i look more like alice from the vicer of dibly. (sits in the corner rocking)
