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 🤔

Anne Robinson before she had her face-lift.
Not flattered.

Agnetha from Abba as a child and Wendy James from Transvision Tramp as a slim young adult. No one now I'm an overweight 51 year old!

Recently people have started saying I look just like my mother, something which never was suggested before.
My mother is 91, what does this say about me?

@DialSquare I just googled Wendy James and she is 54 now. I'm sure you still look like her 😊 I wanted to be Donna Mills from Knots Landing - she's in her 70s now and still looks amazing!

Bjork. This was a long time ago. I'm not certain it's true anymore.

Katy Wix. She is vastly better looking than me.

I bear a passing resemblance to Wayne Rooney.

But everyone else on Mumsnet is an absolute stunner by the sounds of it.

Also, not happy about looking like Hilary Swank? What is wrong with you??

Laetitia Dean, Sam Fox a couple of times in my teens, Gemma Collins, Ruth Jones when she was in Fat Friends, Joanna Scanlan in No offence.
Basically chubby blondes who can be a bit mouthy. About right.

Gillian Anderson and Meryl Streep - I think it's mainly the nose!! But I'll take it anyway. Mannerisms-wise apparently I was like Drew Barrymore when I was much younger, got that a lot.

Olivia Newton-John

Joanna Lumley and Kylie Minogue. Not obvious similarities

Not many Kathy Burke's or Subo's on this thread!

A friend of mine is v like Kathy Burke, even down to the accent. Certainly a glammed up version. She has always thought she was like Drew Barrymore

From a photo - Jennifer Garner

Irl - Kirsty Gallagher, Stephanie Seymour, Tracey Emin

Oh and when the Spice Girls came out, ppl said Posh Spice - because you literally had to be one of them!

Often get told I look like Gwyneth Paltrow

When I was younger, Samantha Fox & Letitia Dean (Sharon from Eastenders)

In my early 20s - Zoe Ball. I used to get this all the time including from strangers who mistook me for her.

Stan Laurel and Michael Palin...I'm a woman

Nat6999 similar teen lookeylikeys

Unfortunately not! She's managed to look after hers if better than me! And I've just realised I typed Tramp instead of Vamp!
Donna Mils always looks great. She doesn't have that overdone plastic surgery look.

I got told I looked like Demi Moore a lot when Ghost came out, I had a very similar hairstyle (coincidentally not intentionally) and could see the resemblance. I found it quite annoying at the time though, not sure why, and only years later did it dawn on me that these people were actually paying me a massive compliment.

Uma Thurman

When young: Claudia Schiffer
Now (and with alarming frequency) I get told I look like Fern Brittan.

At uni I was told I looked like Monica Lewinski and Kat Slater from Eastenders 😂

I've been told a few times Charlize Theron which I will take obviously!

More recently and (possibly even more flattering given our age difference) I got Jodie Comer. I wish!

However, someone also once told me I look like Richie Cunningham from Happy Days. 🤣😟🤬 Much less happy about that! (For the avoidance of doubt I am and have always been a woman).
