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 was told once that i looked like kate moss after a few burgers. Hmm

I tend to get compared to any bumbling mousy haired bloke in glasses.

during the mid 90s it was Wiiiiilllll from TFI Friday.

Nowdays it tends to be Gareth Malone or a young Alan Bennett

The mot flattering one was Ben Gibbard from the band 'The Postal Service' which was ace cos he was married to Zoey Dashenel at the time.

Although I do look A LOT like a smaller version of Colin Meloy from the Decemberists, so much so that my mum couldn't tell a picture of him from one of me.

When I was a teenager I was bullied because I looked like Björk.

Now I get Janine off of eastenders CONSTANTLY. Even when I wear my sodding glasses. I deliberately changed my hair style but nothing makes any difference. She even got pregnant same time as me bitch

Think is rather be björk again. It does upset me, probably because of the bullying but I realise that my problem, no one else's.

When I had black hair and a fringe I got told I look like Abby from NCIS.

Now with purple/pink hair I get nada Wink

NotAQueef · 05/04/2013 11:06

ScarletLady02 as you outed yourself, I took the liberty of looking at said looky-likey sites, and you do indeed make a very good Joss Stone - you have fabulous hair!

Grockle · 05/04/2013 11:10

Darlene from Roseanne

I used to get stopped in the street when I was a teenager to ask if I was her.

ComposHat · 05/04/2013 11:12

Oh yeah, my fiancée LOVES the fact that she gets compared to Gerard Depardieu, but then she is a bit of an oddball.

ShatnersBassoon · 05/04/2013 11:17

I look like Lesley Sharp, according to a couple of people who've said "You look like that actress. Can't remember her name, she was in that thing with that woman from Corrie..."

I went to school with a girl who looked like Ben Elton, so I'm relatively happy with my lot.

ForceMajeure · 05/04/2013 11:30

When I was a teenager I was constantly told I looked like Kate Bush.

I was thrilled with this as I was (and still am) a big fan.

Now I don't look like anyone because I became invisible in middle age.

ToomuchWaternotWine · 05/04/2013 11:30

When I let my hair go naturally curly and it's normal shade of brown, I get told Sigourney Weaver a LOT. Similar strong jawline I have blonde hi lights now and use straighteners ...

Isittimeforgin · 05/04/2013 11:36

When I was much younger and slimmer I was told a few times that I looked like Patsy Kensit. However no-one has said that to me for a veeery long time Grin

Saski · 05/04/2013 11:52

I don't know that I could spend any amount of time with someone who played the "which supermodel do I look like" game. What an ass.

RichPetunia · 05/04/2013 11:56

I don't look like anyone but I sister once had people shouting after her in London "It's Leticia" (Sharon from Eastenders). That was probably 25 years ago and she still looks like her today.

bringonyourwreckingball · 05/04/2013 12:00

Someone once told me I looked like Uma Thurman. I didn't then and I certainly don't now.

CoolaSchmoola · 05/04/2013 12:09

When I'm not carrying ten ton of baby weight - Fearne Cotton. Unfortunately I currently am so I'm more Fern Britten pre gastric band. Bummer.

Calabria · 05/04/2013 12:12

In my youth I was apparently quite like Jacqueline Kennedy.

Using celebrity.picadilo.com I am 70% like Cristiano Ronaldo (who?), 60% Serena Williams, 59% Pedro Almodovar (who?), 58% Jackie Chan (!?!?!?!) and 56% Martha Stewart. Think I might have to use a different picture and try again.

WandaDoff · 05/04/2013 12:14

Toyah Battersby & Seven of Nine.

MisterUdagawa · 05/04/2013 12:15

Lol at Ben elton

comelywenchlywoo · 05/04/2013 12:20

Oooh Calabria I followed your link and apparently I look like Laura Linney and J-Lo and Paul Maccartney

ForceMajeure · 05/04/2013 12:21

Calabria I would be too scared to use that site Grin

EggInABap · 05/04/2013 12:22

Friends and family all think I am like Jennifer Aniston (the fat version of course)

One 'friend' about ten years ago, when I was particularly chubby and going through a bleach blonde hair phase, likened me to Kerry Katona. Blush

Think I'll stick with Jennifer Aniston!

Nishky · 05/04/2013 12:28

Hazel Dean (although this was 25 years ago)

HelenDaniels · 05/04/2013 12:31

When at school I was the image of Phoebe the geeky girl in glasses in Neighbours. Same chin and nose.

I have been told that I now look like a younger Helen Hunt.

Both of which are quite flattering so I am pleased.

Wishfulmakeupping · 05/04/2013 12:37

Wtaf I used that Calabria wish I hadn't - I got chin-o-mighty celine Dion or and my (male) oh got Kate winslet and Elizabeth banks.

noddyholder · 05/04/2013 12:38

My son says I look like Aunt Bessie Shock
