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?

Julianne Moore. I never know if that’s good or not though!

Johnnycomelately1 · 07/08/2018 13:36

Chelsea Handler, but only by Chinese people (I live in China).

Kate Blanchet apparently (more so when she was the elf in lord of the rings). Can't see it myself but it could be worse...it could have been golum

Sharon stone especially when Sliver came out

I’ll take that Grin

LeighaJ · 07/08/2018 13:37

Anna Paquin 😒

I was so happy when she went blonde for True Blood and I stopped hearing that.

I don't think I look like her at all and my teeth definitely don't.

I got Isla Fisher once but I think it's just having the same hair and eye colour combo.

TooGood2BeFalse · 07/08/2018 13:39

Kylie Minogue and Billie Piper

I am blonde with prominent teeth Grin

Mydogmylife · 07/08/2018 13:41

When we were both younger - Jane Torvill. I've the sense of balance of bambi on ice though so no other similarities!

lidoshuffle · 07/08/2018 13:41

Brenda Blethyn (before Vera and her old mac and hat!)

Magicfajita · 07/08/2018 13:42

Helen Baxendale. I don't really see it though.

Littledidsheknow · 07/08/2018 13:42

Lorraine Kelly.

I do, though.

SallyVating · 07/08/2018 13:43

Kate Bush. But I'm fat and she's not.

nicslackey · 07/08/2018 13:43

Hagrid

AlpacaPicnic · 07/08/2018 13:44

A fatter Sarah Brightman when I was younger.

But now I don't think i.look like anyone. Nobody mentions it anyway.

FishingIsNotASport · 07/08/2018 13:44

LeighaJ I think hair colour is the main factor, and body type maybe. I wore a long red wig for a fancy dress party and everyone was saying I looked just like cher! How you go from Sally Field to Cher is beyond me Grin!

When I was younger it was Noel Fielding.
Now it’s occasionally Lana Del Ray.

Quite the difference!

Essexmummy88 · 07/08/2018 13:45

Whitney from eastenders (though I don’t dress like her or wear giant hoops thankfully)

YaLoVeras · 07/08/2018 13:45

Julianne Moore but obviously not with her lovely teeth and hair.

"You look like a shit julianne moore". That is what i know it means!!
I dont let it go to my head.

Justgivemesomepeace · 07/08/2018 13:46

DP gets Nick Cotton all the time and i can see that.I get Eileen from Corry - can't see that myself. I thought I was more Denise Van Outen but clearly I'm deluded.

RolyRocks · 07/08/2018 13:46

Weirdly, Cassandra from Only Fools and Horses more than once!

cornishclottedcream · 07/08/2018 13:46

Frequently told I look like Fern Britton. She is often in Cornwall and I sometimes wonder if we might bump into each other one day Smile

ProfessorMoody · 07/08/2018 13:47

Christina Aguilera

FishingIsNotASport · 07/08/2018 13:48

SallyVating, very jealous, I always wanted to look like Kate Bush Envy.

Another Kate winslet here. I used to get stopped in the street back in the Titanic days

doormatof · 07/08/2018 13:48

I've been told I look like a Bollywood actress a few times but I don't know which one(three times I got told this but the person didn't know the name and the other two times I've forgotten the name nowBlush)
I'm not south Asian but obviously the features must be similar and unfortunetly for me it's not Aishwarya Rai.

Fatbelliedgirl · 07/08/2018 13:49

In my youth - young Brooke Shields.
Now - Nigella Lawson or Kate Winslet.
