To ask what famous person you have been told you look like

[oreshina]

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 🤔

Charlize Theron. I'm flattered!

Audrey Tautou from Amélie - i can just about see the resemblance but it would be her on a very bad hair day and I’m not sure she’d be pleased 😀

Tanya Donnelly (Throwing Muses/Breeders/Belly)

Reese Witherspoon - happy, it’s the face shape abs blonde hair
Adele (when I am fat, like now, not like Adele now) - not so happy

Lady Di, Kate Humble, Meg Ryan 😶

Boris Johnson.

I'm female and 20 years younger than him.

Mrs Trunchbull

Leighton Meester (Blair from Gossip Girl)
Lindsay Lohan (before she got into drugs)
Evangeline Lily (Lost)

My partner gets told he looks like David Bowie, I’m a big fan of them both but don’t see the resemblance at all

Jerry Hall

Nigella Lawson
Thandie Newton
Must be my hair style 🤣

Penny Stewart but 15 years ago...

Kristen Scott Thomas.

When "4 Weddings" was all the rage I used to get asked for my autograph constantly, and men would even send me drinks if I was out with a friend!

They always seemed really offish when I denied I was her - I think they thought I really WAS her and just taking the piss as I have a strong Welsh accent!

Sonya from Eastenders (I had to google her but I can’t see the resemblance myself).

Catherine Tate, most days I'll be asked "has anyone told you you look like Catherine Tate" I just 🙄 and say yeah it's been mentioned lol

When younger, Kate Bush on a couple of different occasions. I was pleased about that. When I was younger still and my hair was dyed black, some random guy in a club said I looked like Marc Almond. I was much less pleased about that one.

I've had Julia Roberts, mainly due to my hair, and absurdly wide mouth, I look nothing like her.
Elvis Presley/Lisa Presley, don't see it
Lately Meghan Markle, I really wish I did, but no, I have none of her grace or beauty

I've also been told I look like Beyoncé, erm not a chance

Jeanette Krankie
Barry White
Aretha Franklin
Mike Tyson
Rachel Reilly

When I was much younger I was often told I looked like Martine McCutcheon, I took no offence at that.

I knew I was old when somebody said I looked like Meryl Streep! Still it happens to the best of us.

I was told I looked like Toni Collette! Happy with that till they added....’when she put on loads of weight for Muriel’s Wedding’

@fancynotplain she looked great in that film!

Joanne Whaller.

Gwyneth Paltrow*

• in Shallow Hal

Helen Mirren and when I was younger, Shirley Maclaine.

My DH - Holly Johnson when he was younger and more recently Gianluca Vialli.

Can't see any of them in either of us.
