Not in the slightest.

But I think Jon Snow from Game Of Thrones looks like Neil Pye from The Young Ones and no one else can see it...

separated at birth Grin

Er what? The X factor host and John Watson from Sherlock?!

I can only presume your thinking of another person that you think is one of those people.

Bluntness100 · 11/11/2017 18:38

Not even slightly. Dermot is quite attractive, although I wouldn’t, Martin, really isn’t. Sorry Martin.

ShizzleYoDrizzle · 11/11/2017 18:40

No, but Jon Simm and psycho David Platt from Corrie are becoming the same man.

I misread and thought you meant Morgan Freeman HmmGrin

PuppyMonkey · 11/11/2017 18:42

Morgan freeman Grin

Knackeredotcom · 11/11/2017 18:44

My brain just read this as Morgan freeman and I was really confused trying to find a similarity apart from both being men Grin

Whops- cross post

ParisLilleBrussels · 11/11/2017 18:54

Ok I'll get me coat Blush

Just thought there might be a slight similarity... maybe it's more to do with their TV personas (like the sort of character that Martin Freeman tends to play, and Dermot O'Leary's guy-next-door X Factor persona). Anyone know where I'm coming from?

Oooh no don't say that. I cannot bear Freeman and his facial expressions. And on them adverts. Oh god cringe.

I love Dermot. He seems like he'd be a good mate to have Grin

I can't bear Freeman either. He's a one note actor and he gives me the creeps.

Uranus?

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 11/11/2017 19:43

I don't see any similarity in their personas either I don't remember seeing a hobbit or an addicted to crime and trouble ex army doctor presenting the X factor.

Neither do I imagine a 2nd generation Irish radio host helping a sociopathic solve crimes sorry.

I slightly agree milhouse I hate the phone company ads their poor poor! But generally I quite like him as an actor

TwitterQueen1 · 11/11/2017 19:45

Nope. You're totally mad op. I'm indulging in some G F there BTW. Also. Morgan freeman is god and therefore no-one !books like him at all.

Fitzsimmons · 11/11/2017 19:48

No but Dermot and Tomasz Schafernaker are twins.

They don’t look remotely alike! I confuse MF with John Simms but only because they are both boring over exposed actors. Also you said “ really similar” and then changed it to “ slight” ....you are doubting yourself now aren’t you?!

DeepAutumn · 11/11/2017 20:01

I do see what you mean but Dermot is more attractive.
