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.

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?"

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

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

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!

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.)
