Can I ask, which famous person do you get told you look like?

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?

Actually I think it’s more that Megan Fox gets told she looks like me*!

I've also had Sybil from Downton Abbey.

Basically I have a generic oval face with dark hair and eyes.

Ali MacGraw - that was back in the day (60s!). I doubt anyone really remembers her now.

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 10/08/2018 19:33

I've had Julia Roberts & Shania Twain so not too bad-thank fuck.

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 10/08/2018 19:39

ConsideredIntrusion why sigh? Lady GaGa is gorgeous-I'd be happy to be mistaken for her any day of the week.

Jennifer Aniston. Can't see it myself but everyone else does Wink

P.S. I made that up, I don't look like anyone famous

Lulu2106 · 10/08/2018 23:33

My MIL calls me Eva, as in Eva Longoria. I don't see it but I have dark hair and eye colour and I'm short! My DH agrees with her. Confused

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 10/08/2018 23:52

My DH is like the twin of an actor you’ll all not know.. David Walton from About a Boy and Bad Moms...

Apparently I’m Winnie from the wonder years 🙄

Can I ask, which famous person do you get told you look like?
MaryPoppinsPenguins · 10/08/2018 23:55

(And he really is the twin... I see it too...)

Neweternal · 11/08/2018 00:05

I once got asked if I was Michelle Bass from big brother.

AmberNectarine · 11/08/2018 00:09

I look like Anna Paquin.

Greenyogagirl · 11/08/2018 00:11

Sophie Ellis Bextor, I must have heard it thousands of times and it really annoys me as I think she’s quite odd looking!
