To tell neighbour his son looks like Steve Tyler?

[Susannahmoody]

I'll be brief :

Chatting to neighbour and saw a photo on their wall : his eldest son had long hair in the photo and tbh looked exactly like Steve Tyler.

I told him so and he was like and then he said, oh when he was younger? I'm like, yeah of course, when he was younger, like 20. Very handsome etc.

Neighbour seemed a bit annoyed - AIBU?

Maybe he disapproves of Aerosmith

Your neighbour is strange! Do not worry!

Maybe his wife had some Love In An Elevator?

Ouch! I'd be gutted lol

Does his son have a huge mouth?

He has a fairly generous mouth, yes

I don’t find Steve Tyler pleasing to my eye 😂

Maybe he thought you were implying his dude looks like a lady?

lol

Bliddy hell..I wouldn't be pleased either. He's/was a right ugly looking bugger

Which way does he walk & talk?

Maybe he’s heard it 100 times before? Not a criticism of you. I’d have said something too.

It's pretty much an insult

Love Steve Tyler! Don't worry, your neighbour was probably just overcome with Sweet Emotion

'A fairly generous mouth'

Nothing wrong with Steven Tyler imo, especially in his younger years!

You may as well have said his son looks like a baboons arse.

That’s a blatant insult OP!

I think as a general rule it's best to avoid saying someone looks like X, even if you think X is the best-looking person in the world. I think my bf looks like a youngish Peter Capaldi, and I mentioned it to him, he had never heard of Peter Capaldi (Canadian), googled him and burst out "he looks like fucking Jordan Peterson! what the hell!"
Basically you never know what how people view celebrities and so on, and views aren't always as obvious as you think they are.

Steve Tyler absolutely love that man !

Steven Tyler isn’t a good person.

Steve Tyler. I would.

Oh god. If you even remotely look like someone it's the most annoying thing to keep being reminded of that. It gets old very fast.

Friend gets "omg you look like Seth Rogen' all the time. He doesn't he just has curly hair and a beard. I bet the only similarity is a strong jawline and long hair. Stop telling people they look like someone.

Steve Tyler was a total creep when younger and now looks like a weird captain jack sparrow madam Tussauds model that's been kept too close to to the radiator

I don't think it's always a bad thing to tell someone they look like somebody famous? I used to be told all the time that I looked like Helen Baxendale (Cold Feet and Emily in Friends). I took it as a compliment 🤷‍♀️.

However, I was on a singles skiing holiday and our tour guide was told by someone in our group that she looked like Kathy Burke which she wasn't too chuffed with.
