Lockdown Lookalike - the awful realisation......

Lockdown can be tough. I am homeschooling and am finding it hard. But after my shower this morning I looked into the mirror and the realisation hit me. I looked like the Welsh King's brother in 'The Last Kingdom'! He is not a pretty man - straggly hair, a bit fat and quite wrinkly. I was really shocked to see him staring back at me!!! Who do you look like since lockdown? Grin

I wish it was better but the reality is that Worm tail is probably actually better looking than me right now. Ive never been heavier, spottier, hairier or more slovenly. Thanks Coronavirus.

Mavis Cruet. Even down to the funky blue hair. It is not a good look.

DysonFury · 13/05/2020 19:36

Is that actually you in the picture OP?

I look more and more like Bojo every day! Bloody blonde floppy hair flapping around in my eyes. It is a curse.

Iggy fucking Pop.

I look like the mutant love child of Uncle Fester, Cousin Itt and Alice Cooper!

Putting kids to bed and shaking silently with laughter at all of these....think I'm going to wet myself 😂

Ah, but you are Barbapapa and you can shapeshift into whatever you like!

SparklesAllOver · 13/05/2020 19:48

My roots need doing, I am plucking hairs from my chin, need a wax, but hey-ho, strike a cool pose and all is forgiven....Grin

I looked in the mirror and George Michael circa 1985 stared back. I think it was the big yellow highlighted bonceConfused.
I need my hairdresser.
Actually I'm wondering if I've always looked like this and just never noticed.

That's my hairstyle but the face is much older and more haggard

GeraltOfRivia · 13/05/2020 19:58

@MrsMoastyToasty that's really chic!

YesIDoLoveCrisps · 13/05/2020 20:05

I found some kind of vegetable when I was cleaning out my cupboards. It was shrivelled, smelly and old.
That’s me Sad

Does anyone remember the fraggles from fraggle rock?
I kind of look like all of them, melted together.
I used to only look like one of them......

Janna The Hut in drag.
Clocked myself on the background during the kids zoom assembly. I best I'd better get a pet rancour then.

DontTellThemYourNamePike · 13/05/2020 20:10

This is me. Except that Robert Smith is cool.

This looks like scarey Mary from the Phones 4U advert but its actually me (just joking) but I do look very similar!

I posted a picture of myself on my FB the other day (I'd just completed an endurance task). A friend posted a reply. Not 'well done!' or 'congratulations!' but...'you don't half look like your dad these days...'
