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?

Recently told I look like Elisabeth Moss.
I’ve also been mistaken for Sally Hawkins before.

KT Tunstall (if anyone remembers her)

When I was in my teens everyone used to say I looked like Britney but no one's said it for years now. My dh regularly gets told he's the double of Aaron Dingle from Emmerdale.

Kate Beckinsale or Evangeline Lilly when I was younger and thinner.

Now I look like someone who ate Kate and Evangeline Grin

I had a stand up row in the street with some bloke who was insisting I was the woman who played Natalie in Eastenders (Bianca's mate who shagged Ricky)!

The ONLY similarity is that we had longish curly blond hair

Halle Berry - i nearly passed out with happiness when i was told.

areyoubeingserviced · 07/08/2018 18:04

Gwyneth Paltrow.
The irony is that I find her extremely irritating. So it’s not a compliment

gettingtherequickly · 07/08/2018 19:00

Charlize Theron and a young kylie, I don't.

LittleMissBrainy · 07/08/2018 19:02

Ooh I had some good ones back in my youth!
Annabel Croft, Catherine Zeta Jones, Tina from S Club 7 and the most flattering of all was Joey from Dawson's Creek!
However, now I feel sad to say that I didn't believe any of it, had no self confidence and thought I was hideously ugly! Sad

I wasn't, it's just I didn't appreciate my youth! I don't think I've been compared to a beautiful celebrity for about 10 years now.

Husband gets told he looks like the golfer Lee Westwood.

PhilODox · 07/08/2018 19:07

Callista Flockhart two of her, obviously.

DarthLipgloss · 07/08/2018 19:08

My dp gets Jason Momoa, Jon Bon Jovi and Jon Snow and jesus lol.. (hes big hairy handsome thing). However i think he looks just like young Val Kilmer in Willow.
Im blonde now but used to get Katy Perry all the time when I was dark.

delphguelph · 07/08/2018 19:10

The best lookalike person I have ever met looked exactly like Boris Becker. It was totally uncanny. He used to get free stuff all the time. Totally played it. He was his identical twin.

delphguelph · 07/08/2018 19:10

Oh sod off, Darth

Bunnyfuller · 07/08/2018 19:11

SuBo. Once, but the person was insistent I was her.

Sadly I can kind of see the likeness sometimes.
