Apparently I look like Miss Trunchbull from Matilda...

[cosmobrown]

Today I was working 1-2-1 with a yr 3 child, and we were using Matilda as a base for our session. The pupil then said I looked a bit like Miss Trunchbull from the film !

Has anyone else been compared to people they would rather not be?

My son once told me I have a square face like Steve from Minecraft so that was nice.

I had an ill advised pixie cut once and was told I looked like the fat lass from Scooby Doo!
I went home and cried a bit.

I did one of those app things that tell you what celebrity you look like. All my friends got very glamorous actresses/singers/models. I got John Belushi.

Bridget Jones.

My DD (then 2) saw an advert for Dior in an inflight magazine where Charlize Theron was looking like a bronzed, blonde goddess. She pointed at it it and said to DH 'look, mummy!'.

I had brown hair, was slightly overweight and unfortunately don't bear even a fleeting resemblance to her. Still chuffed, 15 years later.

(I do realise that this is the complete opposite of the anecdotes you asked for. Sorry.)

Children can be brutal.

Once a 6 year old told me (laughing at me in hysterics) I had a forehead so big it was like a shining billboard 😳😳😳 Been paranoid about my forehead ever since!!

Told this story before on MN but… Years ago, youngest DS (probably around 4yo or so) walks into the bathroom as I was flossing my teeth. He pipes up “You look like The Grinch” 😳😆

My youngest is brutal - I remember him at about 2 standing behind me and saying "biggest bottom whole wide world"

The oldest thought I was Snow White ...

I don't have favourites, but if I did...

One moron from work thought he was really witty comparing me to Mia Khalifa because I have big boobs and had similar glasses. We don't look similar at all.

I've been told by quite a few, unrelated people, that I'm basically just a slightly smaller Miranda.
I have also been known to randomly canter along corridors with no warning.

Most mums look like that.

Oh, and I also get told I'm the spitting image of my father..... who is 83 years old and bald.

Not me, but my husband is regularly compared to (and on one or two occasions has even been taken for)

@minou123 DH, DS17 and I cracking up here at that!😂

Pressed send too soon, but it looked like a bad cliffhanger!

He's been compared to and taken for Nick Frost. I think this is hilarious because I don't fancy NF at all (but obvs fancy my husband!) but his sister really fancies NF and has since she was a teenager. Neither DH or DSIL like this topic bought up!

Yes, a big group of blokes on a stag do pointed at me and shouted "Look it's Hagrid!" 🙄

I get this too! Mainly in my case because I'm big, awkward and clumsy and my mother used to be very overbearing I think.
And very single.......... I am yet to find my Gary though!

🤣

I was in the cafe paying for breakfast .. children seated waiting , 10
Am ish so full of builders , collect the tray walk to my table and youngest shouts out
Yeyyyy big mummas coming
They all looked

Some lovely kids I worked with told me my new glasses made me look like Miss Battle-axe from Horrid Henry. This was pre children so I had to Google her and unfortunately they were correct.

I’m not just saying this to be self effacing and comical or whatever, but I really resemble the mum from Hairspray. The one that is John Travolta in a dress. 😩🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s not so much the “look” but the way she moves too. Every so often someone starts a conversation with me like this: “Oh, I was watching Hairspray for the first time the other night and no offence but…”

Rude sad fuckers.

My nephew did a portrait of my sister/his mum at school when he was about 12, she looked like the Wise Woman from Blackadder

I got told that I looked like a young Diana Dors about 20 years ago
