Over the years been told:
Natalie Portman - happy about this
Hilary Swank - not so happy
Natalie Wood - had to Google her
Someone once asked for my autograph when I was 17...they thought I was Billie Piper 🤔

In my absolute heyday... (certainly not now as my username confirms) I walked past a bus stop and I heard a teenage boy whisper to his mate "she looks like Kelly Brooke".

Ooh ,Natalie Wood in 'Gypsy' was stunning OP. I'd be so flattered, also always wanted dark hair. When in my 20's Princess Diana (similar build & hair probably). Nowadays, Cybill Shepherd when she was younger ( in tge show 'Moonlighting' with Bruce Willis).

How can you look like Natalie Wood and Billie Piper Grin

I've been told Rachel Johnson.
Hmm. I suppose it's not her brothers or her dad.

User3627290 · 12/09/2020 23:51

Liv Tyler, by several people. This obviously hugely delights me Grin

Go google.

goldpendant · 12/09/2020 23:54

Naomi Watts but mostly Nicole Kidman. Pretty happy with those!

Jojobar · 12/09/2020 23:54

Katie Rabett - she was an 80s IT girl type/ model - that was back when I was a teenager, rather liked that!

In my 20s I once got told Bette Midler - not impressed with that at all.

In more recent years I've had Jackie Collins, Nigella, Jenna Coleman and Mila Kunis.

I don't think I look like any of them!

thatonesmine · 12/09/2020 23:54

I used to be told I looked like Mary Hopkins, but that would've been around 50 years ago.

ShagMeRiggins · 12/09/2020 23:55

At various times, Princess Diana, Madonna, Gillian Anderson, Amy Poehler, and Beverley D’Angelo (by Graham Norton).

More recently - Nigella Lawson, Katy Perry.

RaingodsWithZippos · 12/09/2020 23:56

Nana Mouskouri or Saffy from Ab Fab at various ages

MolyHolyGuacamole · 12/09/2020 23:57

When I was much younger and slimmer I got Jordin Sparks quite a few times. I think she's pretty, but I look nothing like her. I'd like to think I look like Meghan Markle, but fat chance 😂

The American actress Helen Hunt ( in that 1990’s sitcom Mad About You). I can see the resemblance as well, it’s the pointy nose

TheClitterati · 12/09/2020 23:57

Kathy Burke!

k1233 · 12/09/2020 23:58

Had a boss who used to call me Leslie. My name's Karen. Had to ask him one day how the hell he got Leslie out of Karen. It was because he thought I looked like Leslie Caron, who was an actress. (I don't think I look anything like her by the way)

BF2748 · 12/09/2020 23:58

Natalie Portman ( I definitely don’t)
Anne Hathaway (probably the hair)
Helen Flanagan (from a few people but I can’t see it)
Taylor swift (have absolutely no idea what the correlation would be)

SquirtleSquad · 12/09/2020 23:58

I used to get told an awful lot that I look like a curvy Elizabeth Hurley and now I frequently get nigella Lawson.

FlibbertyGiblets · 12/09/2020 23:58
