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 🤔

@FlibbertyGiblets

Why do people never say

Bella Emberg
Kathy Staff
Princess Mary Adelaide

???

Because I've never heard of any of these people

Julianna Margulies. I’ve been told so many times over the last 20 years or so I wouldn’t be surprised to learn we were actually related!

NooneElseIsSingingMySong · 12/09/2020 23:59

In my 20s I was blonde (with brown eyes) and I got told I looked like Britney Spears on more than one occasion. Not so much these days!

SquirtleSquad · 13/09/2020 00:01

@FlibbertyGiblets because I've never heard of any of those people or been told i look like them Grin

Pinkchocolate · 13/09/2020 00:03

Julia Roberts- I have a big mouth and hair, out similarities end there sadly.

TakeItSIeazy · 13/09/2020 00:03

Louise Woodward (not a compliment)
Susannah Constantine (I do have her body shape)
Amanda Redman (I had her old hairstyle once)

AmICrazyorWhat2 · 13/09/2020 00:03

@FlibbertyGiblets well, Helen Hunt is a good 10 years older than me so I’m not being overly complimentary to myself.🤣

MiddlesexGirl · 13/09/2020 00:05

Gwyneth Paltrow (very slight resemblance)
Meg Ryan (not so much these days 😕 )

Oh Christ I have honestly had all sorts over the years, I must have one of those faces that just looks familiar to people or something? I have a big nose and sharp chin. I’ve had:

  • Cameron Diaz
  • Sarah Jessica Parker
  • Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen
  • Will Young!! 😂
  • Holly Willoughby
  • Fearne Cotton’s nose
  • Joanna Newsom
  • one of the boys from Hanson (the band)
  • Penny from Big Bang Theory
  • Rachel from Friends (but he said it was my mannerisms that reminded him 🤷‍♀️)
  • Catelyn Stark (She’s a lot older than me 😩)
  • Shrek

Almost all of these have pointy chins so I don’t take any as a compliment lol.

EvilEdna1 · 13/09/2020 00:06

Mary Elizabeth Mastaranonio. Not the age she is now (hopefully). I don't look like her but we had similar hair until I had it all cut off.

Caplin · 13/09/2020 00:06

I am the double of a relatively well known Labour MP. In itself it is ok, but I also work in politics and am a member of another party. We have friends in common and are regularly mistaken for each other. We have mutual friends who keep tagging us into posts about getting us mixed up.

One day we will meet and the world will end!

hazandduck · 13/09/2020 00:07

Oh I forgot also Madonna!

TheStarOnTheChristmasTree · 13/09/2020 00:07

Meryl Streep

oreshina · 13/09/2020 00:07

Alison Moyet. In the early 90s my sister went to see her and said that we were the image of each other. Possibly with the same make-up on, in some light Grin we had a similar build and short hair.

NotEvenTheKing · 13/09/2020 00:09

I've had Claudia Schiffer and Sheryl Crow. I look like neither 😆

Beekeeper1 · 13/09/2020 00:09

In profile, Freddy Kruger, (Nightmare on Elm Street) especially when wearing my hat!Hmm

PhoebeSnow · 13/09/2020 00:10

Sharleen Spiteri, same shape of face, dark hair and Scottish!

peakygal · 13/09/2020 00:10

Nelly Furtado for many years now but I don't see a single resemblance. My DD once said I looked like Steve Tyler 😂

Saracen · 13/09/2020 00:11

Nobody! But I noticed it for myself: When I was 20 I saw a photo of a foreign princess in a magazine and thought she looked just like me. I've just googled her now, 30 years later, and we're still doppelgangers except my hair is greying.

oreshina · 13/09/2020 00:12

oh I forgot Andrea Corr when I was younger,happy with that!

DamnShesaSexyChick · 13/09/2020 00:12

Taylor Swift, I do look a bit like her.
