Some friends were over at the weekend. Their kids love Mrs Doubtfire and had watched it again recently. They told me how much I look like the mum character in the film, Sally Field . My son-in-law then piped up and said "Yeah I thought that too when I first met you". I can't see it myself but it could have been worse (thank the lord they didn't think I look like Robin Williams in drag!).

Can I ask who you get told you look like and whether you're happy with the comparison?

In my twenties I was often told I looked like Natalie Wood (Westside Story)
Now I think it’s more Ron Wood 😳

I used to get told I looked like Martine McCutcheon when I was in my twenties and my nickname at work then was Tiff.

My DM says I look like Nessa from Gavin and Stacey now Confused

Stacy Slater. Been called that since she first came into eastenders. Thing is as 'we've' got older (similar ish age) I really don't - however I can't watch the programme without thinking how alike her and my sister are, it's remarkable.

In in my youth I was told i looked like a fat, ginger Kate Moss. Now, apparently I look like a fat, ginger Johnny Depp, wtf?

Cherie Blair...DH does NOT look like Tony.

My DP looks like Conor McGregor. It's uncanny

HelenaDove · 08/08/2018 21:08

Salma Hayek.

Demi Moore in my younger days. She has 'aged' considerably better than I have so I probably look like her mum now.

MyLifeInTheSunshine · 08/08/2018 21:18

In my 20s and 30s I got Angelina Jolie, Isabella Adjani, Monica Belluci, Adriana Lima. Gorgeous, pouty brunettes basically. Less glamorous but still flattering ones have been Honey from Eastenders and Carla from Corrie.

Recently I was told I look like Sue Perkins. Now I bloody love Sue. But it was a step down from Angelina 😆

MyLifeInTheSunshine · 08/08/2018 21:20

Michelle Gayle is a hottie @Blackness78. Saw her on tv recently and she hasn’t aged a day!
