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 🤔

I've had Gillan Anderson & Kate Blanchett 🤷‍♀️

People sometimes say I look like Sophie Ellis Bextor. I think maybe I used to but over the years our faces have "grown apart"

Crystalknobs · 13/09/2020 17:39

Hannah Gordon and Samantha Womack

In my youth I got told I looked like Madonna (in her Like a Prayer incarnation) and Catherine Zeta Jones, probably because I had long dark curls. My DP thinks I look like Kelly Brooke (as she is now) and is absolutely delighted by it. He gets his new varifocals next week and he’ll be able to see me properly then - I’m not looking forward to it to be honest 😜

Over the years I've been told I look like:

Kelly Brooke
Sigourney Weaver
Demi Moore

and more recently, Emily Hampshire - I had to Google her.

Mrs Trunchbull, the evil mother from Tangled and Isabella Rossellini. I have my good days, and I have my bad days.

Whyemseeaye · 13/09/2020 17:54

Helena Bonham-Carter or Reese Witherspoon, depending on the colour of my hair 🤔

mayandjuniper · 13/09/2020 17:55

Rosamund Pike, apparently. She's beautiful, but I don't see it.

Theterrible42s · 13/09/2020 17:56

Phoebe off Neighbours. Charlie Dimmock. My niece once though Gwyneth Paltrow was me, bless her

LastDaysOfSummer · 13/09/2020 17:58

Also Rosamund Pike

nokidshere · 13/09/2020 18:02

I don't think anyone's ever said I look like someone else.

Although someone did say to me 'ohh I met someone who looks just like you' a few years ago Grin

I was once told that I was a "real life Charlotte Snowdon" like she didn't exist in real life or something. 😂 Anyway, he must have been on crack, I look nothing like. 😂

shreddednips · 13/09/2020 18:11

I did one of those 'which celebrity do you look like' things online where you put your picture in. John Belushi.

Inappropriatefemale · 13/09/2020 18:17

@shreddednips I did the same on FB when I had one and I got Mariah Carey! We are nothing alike except we both have hazel/brown eyes

Laura Dern, Stevie Nicks, I don’t see it 🤣

StarchyStanley · 13/09/2020 18:21

Alison Goldfrapp and Reese Witherspoon. Happy with those!

Once I lost a lot of weight and got told I looked like Gillian McKeith. I was less happy with that.

doadeer · 13/09/2020 18:23

The only one I get is Scarlet Johnson particularly when she was younger. I'll take that 🤣

mamakoukla · 13/09/2020 18:24

Katherine Hepburn 🤣 I do wish and can’t see the resemblance but a few people over the years
