Lesley Sharp, the actress.

Apparently, since a teenager, I've looked like Princess Anne. We have similarly shaped noses and facial expressions and spend a lot of time outdoors, with dogs and horses.

IamMaz · 13/09/2020 09:19

Many years ago my mother told me I looked like Anne Diamond - before she put on weight I hasten to add! I was NOT pleased at the time.

Why do people never say
Bella Emberg
Kathy Staff
Princess Mary Adelaide

I did think a younger child at my secondary school looked like Kathy Staff but wouldn't have said it to her as I'd have felt a bit rude. Ditto if I'd thought anyone looked like Bella Emburgh

I recently got asked if I were Imogen Stubbs. My a checkout operator who wanted my autograph. I was hugely flattered- but she is about 15 years older than me.

i have a female colleague who looks extraordinaruly like Steve Buscemi.

And my aunt in the 80s was a total hippy and 6 year old me was convicned she was John Lennon.

CurlsandCurves · 13/09/2020 09:38

When I was younger a group of friends used to call me Nicole Kidman because we both had curly hair.

Nowadays I’m a dead ringer for Roisin Conaty. Friends and family have said it’s not just the look, it’s the whole mannerisms and personality traits we share also. Although I have curly hair and she doesn’t.

She’s lovely and very funny so I’m happy with that.

Sara Cox

Buffy the vampire slayer. Also had Kate Beckinsale once, I liked that person a lot! Grin

Jocasta2018 · 13/09/2020 09:46

I don't look like anyone famous but there's no doubting my parentage - nose, eyes & brows I'm the spit of my father, mouth & chin my mother! Both were handsome & beautiful in their day & are ageing disgracefully so I'm not bothered...

Much envy to those ladies who resemble Audrey Hepburn! I loved her dress in Breakfast at Tiffany's - I've got an evening dress similar. Might have to dig out my DVDs later and have a nice Roman Holiday!

SimonJT · 13/09/2020 09:48

Neil Milan, I don’t see it, but I must have a resemblance as it once led to a free meal in a restaurant.

I’ve also been told I look like a brown version of Alvise Rigo a rugby player/Italian qvc presenter. Facially I do see the similarity, sadly not as similar from the neck down!

I once saw a woman on a train who was the spitting image of Noel Fielding, she even had the same haircut (when he las longer black hair).

Justgivemesomepeace · 13/09/2020 09:50

Eileen Grimshaw from Coronation Street. Fuming.
DP looks like Nick Cotton. Handsome pair.

SleepOhHowIMissYou · 13/09/2020 09:53

I think it depends on your hair to be honest.

80s, I got told I was a dead spit for Kim Wilde. Back-combed highlighted hair.

90's/00s. Kelly Brook. Long brown hair, big boobs.

00s/10s. Jennifer Saunders. Not so much hair but age, build and voice, and admittedly face is quite similar.

Most recently was asked if I was Sarah Millican, husband thought it was hilarious. Hair, build and glasses are the same.

DollyScrobbler · 13/09/2020 09:55

Fergie - Sarah Ferguson (Ex duchess of York)

Didn't believe it until I saw her in York near the hat stall on the market. I walked around that stall three times in order to make sure it was her. Then I realised I was looking in a mirror. Confused

35knots · 13/09/2020 09:57

Harry Styles 🤔

BrandyandBabycham · 13/09/2020 09:59

Years ago when I was blond I got told I looked like Chris Evert (sp) the tennis player.

The80sweregreat · 13/09/2020 10:02

About 30 odd years ago dh said I looked like Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting and people said he looked a bit like a young Bruce Willis. They don't say this anymore!

Magpiecomplex · 13/09/2020 10:02

Cleopatra! I'm pale and freckled with very dark hair so I'm assuming the Liz Taylor version...

LovelyBranches · 13/09/2020 10:04

I used to get told I look like Eva Mendes. She’s got darker skin than me but we have very similar features. Sadly she’s ageing like a goddess and I’m ageing in dog years.

chubbyhotchoc · 13/09/2020 10:05

Barbara Streisand
Leona Lewis
Hmm

monkeyonthetable · 13/09/2020 10:06

Meryl Streep (often - I sort of see it)
Ellen Barkin (a few times. I don't see it at all.)
Every other actress with blonde hair

I think I look like Hilary Mantel!
