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?

In the casting of famous people who will play me and my colleagues in the musical about our workplace, this is our selection:

Me - Anne Hathaway (will take that and run before anyone changes their mind!)
Lovely colleague = Martine McCutcheon (sp?)
One of our managers = Olly Murs
Another manager = Herr Flick from Ello Ello
Big boss = Crocodile Dundee

Good looking crew, no?! GrinGrin

I have tried three different photos on that site now and have come to the conclusion my dm adopted me from Meryl Streep because she keeps coming up. Confused

In my younger days I used to get Darlene from Roseanne or Katie Rogers from Brookside. Strangers used to shout Katie at me.
When older I used to get told I looked like Kate Middlemiss. Since having DD the only lookalike was an app that told me I resembled Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin

Iheartcows · 05/04/2013 23:48

When I was younger with dyed ginger hair I got told I looked like Scully from the X files.
These days I don't look like anyone except my mother Hmm

I hate being plain Sad

StuntGirl · 05/04/2013 23:51

Gillian Anderson is stunning, I'd love to be compared to her!

MonaLotte · 05/04/2013 23:57

I was mistaken for Toni Colette (Muriel's Wedding/Mum in Sixth Sense) at the airport. I was quite chuffed with that.

theweeyin · 05/04/2013 23:59

Years ago when i worked in a restaurant customers ALWAYS used to say 'has anyone ever told you.... you like Sandra Di Marco' (from Eastenders)

A few of my friends still call me Sandra, and I answer to it!!

Bartlebee · 06/04/2013 00:01

I get Natalie Wood & Kate Beckinsale.

But also have been told I look like Rowan Atkinson Shock

trashcanjunkie · 06/04/2013 00:03

borisjohnsonshair · 06/04/2013 00:21

Orville. Yes, the green duck.

ItsOkayItsJustMyBreath · 06/04/2013 00:31

I was with a look-a-like agency in my early twenties as an Audrey Hepburn look-a-like.

Now I have a touch of the Martine McCutcheon about me Hmm

Doodledumdums · 06/04/2013 00:37

Nana Mouskouri and Charlotte Church...though they look nothing like each other! I actually got asked for my autograph once because someone thought I was Charlotte Church...bit ridiculous, I really look nothing like her IMO!

My DH regularly gets told he looks like James McAvoy. I think that's why I fell in love with him, I've always fancied James McAvoy!

SanctiMOMious · 06/04/2013 00:59

OkayHazel · 06/04/2013 01:33

People tell me Kristen Stewart constantly. I have long dark and hair and perpetual bitch face, so maybe its not far off.

I seemingly look like the chucky doll according to an ex-flatmate's friend.

I am short, had short hair then too, but no scars,yeah thanks for that - I can't really remember what the insulting bastard looked like.

Minimoog · 06/04/2013 02:42

Dawn French (I just mentioned this on another thread wierdly! I am not obsessed with this!) I went to the Comedy Store in London for a night out with friends a couple of years ago, and when I was on my way home I got asked for autographs Ha ha! (I gave them as well... who gives a toss? Not my fault...) Wink

QOD · 06/04/2013 02:50

Old people say I look like Elaine Page, I ruddy do!! Back when she was in her 30's/40's though

HerRoyalNotness · 06/04/2013 03:08

From the celebrity link, my match was only 52% to care blanchett, I also scored 50% match to Richard Dreyfus. I am not a balding man very photogenic obviously. I'm weeping with laughter at that .

DH looks like Sean penn, taller and heftier version

mrsXsweet · 06/04/2013 03:55

Once I got told I looked like Audrey Hepburn- I clung onto this for a long time! As a teenager I wanted to be compared to Natalie Imbruglia ( circa 'torn') and had my hair cut short and wore combats and lipgloss.
It has been suggested I look like Carrie Anne Moss (woman from the matrix).

Minimoog · 06/04/2013 03:56

That link just told me I was a 70% match to Renee Zellweger (erm..?) but also a 70% match to Dustin Hoffman. Ok then! I have to say I look more like Hoffman than Zellweger... Confused
