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?

My siblings often called me Mona Lisa when we were growing up.
They also likened me Addam's family daughter Wednesday (played by christina ricci).
can you sense a theme here?
on a positive, kinder people have compared me to Demi Moore, natalie portmann, kate middleton hahaha

Annette Benning and elkie brooks. Eh?

That celeb pic site says I look 90% like Angelina Jolie Hmm. I look nothing like Angelina Jolie. If only. Grin

ReturnofSaturn · 06/04/2013 13:14

Chloe Sevigny a couple of times in the past

SanctiMOMious · 06/04/2013 13:27

I've a friend who looks like Chloe Sevigny and her sister is the spit of Maggie Gyllenhaal.

I've been told Philippa forester and Vanessa feltz. I've also been told phil Collins - from a beautiful (foreign) man who believes this is a compliment. Confused

Beckamaw · 06/04/2013 14:31

I used to work with a guy who told me I was 'a cross between Hattie Jacques and Myra Hindley'.
A pair of beauties he picked there. Twat!

Bartlebee · 06/04/2013 17:15

Bloody hell, that website said I look like Kate Middleton, Winona Ryder, ashley judd and Victoria Beckham. Slightly insulted by last one!

SanctiMOMious · 06/04/2013 18:21

wow, every photo gave me totally different answers. if i'd got the same suggestion twice i'd believe it. who is brittany snow? i had her, and she was the highest percentage i got, but she is much younger and blonder than i am. i also had a few black people, and men, and actually black men (danny glover and somebody else too) Confused is there ANYTHING to this at all?? or is it just randomly matchng faces!!

BlackMini · 06/04/2013 18:36

My incredibly drunk colleague told me I look like Kate Middleton.

I'll take that.

SanctiMOMious · 06/04/2013 18:42

I thnk quite a lot of people look a bit like KM. (not me, I look 78% like Michael Keaton Confused )

EllieArroway · 06/04/2013 18:45

Penelope Cruz, apparently. Apparently I have the same "strong features". Hmmm. Cannot see it myself.

But I also look like an entire nation of people, it seems. I have lost count of the number of friends who have been to Italy and say that they kept doing double takes and seeing me everywhere.

I think it's all down to having very dark hair and eyes - my heritage is actually Irish though, not Spanish/Italian as far as I know.

BelleEtLaBaby · 06/04/2013 18:53

I look like Kate Middleton, only quite a bit fatter. And I'm pregnant. And I've had Hyperemesis. My work colleagues call me Duchess. And I sound posh, even though really I'm not.

Am I actually her, do you think? ;)

My DH looks a tiny little bit like Tim Henman and we have had people come up to him in the street insisting he is Tiger Tim and just won't admit it Confused

IAmNotAMindReader · 06/04/2013 19:02

In my late teens someone once told me I looked like Gloria Estefan.

More recently I was showing a friend how grey my hair had got at the sides and pulled it up and plonked it on the top of my head to accentuate it.

My friend said I looked like Miriam Margolyes Hmm. She's a good 40 years older than me. I don't think I'm doing this aging thing very well Grin

saladcreamwitheverything · 06/04/2013 19:07

Rebecca Adlington, she's from the next town to me as well! There is a pic of her in our local Toby when she won the Olympic golds and we do look very much alike! My DH says I look like her if she'd spent a week in Greggs Shock cheeky blighter!

A mate of mine was once told by a director she looked like a Great European writer. She was just starting to look pleased when the director said: 'Yes - you look exactly like Bertolt Brecht.'

PipsWife · 06/04/2013 19:34

Bianca off-of Eastenders!

It was bad enough aged 14 (ish) when everyone shouted "Ricky!" at me at school but then she went and returned to the show when I was 29 (ish) Luckily I've aged better and my husband says I'm a prettier version (I hope so!) but my mum says I do look like her when I cry!! Grin

ShadowsCollideWithPeople · 06/04/2013 20:04

Ooh, ooh, SanctiMOM, we are twinsies! According to that website, I too look like Danny Glover and Brittany Snow. Also Chris Rock, Sidney Poitier, Stephen Spielberg, Roman Polanski and... Mikhail Gorbachev.

Grin Grin Grin Grin

rubydoobydoo · 06/04/2013 20:21

I just uploaded my photo to that link and I'm 70% Madonna, and 69% Celine Dion and 69% FRED DURST????!!! Confused

In real life I'm regularly told I look like Drew Barrymore (I wonder if the other person who said that looks like me?), and also had several times "That girl with the dog from Britain's Got Talent" - the girl, not the dog I hope!

I've just started wearing glasses and have had Nana Mouskouri more than once in the last couple of weeks (probably as I have long dark hair).

Orangerevel · 06/04/2013 20:29

Pam Ayres or Cherie Blair, nice!

doyouwantfrieswiththat · 06/04/2013 20:56

Cathy Burke + Sue Perkins + a bit of Alan Carr....gorgeous

SanctiMOMious · 06/04/2013 21:33

I can picture you clearly shadows

I got sidney poitier as well!

I have to admit though, I put in Julianne Moore's photo from google images and she doesn't look like Julianne Moore! Julianne Moore looks like Monica Belucci. Confused
