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?

I once wore grey leggings and a grey vest and my friend said you look like a fucking elephant.

Oh yeah and I got called a value range Cameron Diaz by another friend!!

My nephew told me there's nothing pretty about your face, but when it's all together it still looks nice.

Apparently, according to his quick-thinking mum anyway, he was learning about facial features at the time in order to draw/paint faces ... 😐

That's so funny 🤣

Alan Carr….. 😂

Anyone who thinks there’s a fat lass in Scooby Doo needs to be ignored completely.

🤣

🙈🤣

🤣🤣🤣

These are actually making me lol 😂

My then 5 year old told me I looked like slinky malinky the cat - was dressed up in a black dress for a night out

When my daughter was two she happily pointed to a picture of Jack Skellington from A Nightmare Before Christmas and said "Mummy!" Admittedly I was very sleep deprived at the time but I did have hair!

Quite. And I don't recall a pixie cut either.

Quite. And I don't recall a pixie cut either.

Indeed!

A lad with autism that I was tutoring one to one mistook a picture of Angela Merkel for me once.

Thanks, mate.

Not necessarily insulting but I've had several people say stuff along the lines of 'you're on TV aren't you?' I have no idea who they were thinking of.

A stranger told me I look like Emily Blunt which I'm happy enough with but I'm definitely not similar enough to actually be mistaken for her.

I'm not sure if gigglebiz is still on cebeebies but DD would get very excited at Gale Force and shout 'its mummy, mummy's on TV!' every single time. For those who don't know, it's Justin Fletcher in a wig and dress. I grew out my fringe.

ET. Carol vorderman. A frog. Sarah brightman. It's the eyes

This is old but when I was a teenager I thought I bought a cool hat and my mum said I looked like a member of Gaddafi's Revolutionary Nuns.

I got told once that I looked like Muriel from Muriel's Wedding. It was a more senior, female work colleague and she didn't mean it as a compliment. My male colleagues there tried to say oh yes, like Toni Collette, and she just kept repeating, no not the actress normally, but when she's Muriel.

Alison Moyet during her fat years, when I definitely wasn't. I always liked colourful eye makeup (ruby and millie) and a little boy in my DD'S primary school always asked if I was a witch.

I’ve been told I look like so many people, I’m a woman but over the years I’ve been told I look like many women and men! The lead singer of Hanson, Neil from the Young Ones, and Will Young to name a few.

I once was working at a reception desk and a little girl came in with her dad. She started giggling when she saw me and whispered something in his ear, he then started laughing too and said “She says you look like Pippy Long Stockings.” I laughed and thought how sweet (I did have my hair in pigtail plaits at the time and had dyed my hair sort of copper colour). Any way I looked her up later…had no idea she looked like this 😩😂

Male acquaintance was slim with long white blond hair. When queuing for a cab home from a night out a drunk bloke yelled from across the street. "Oi! Malfoy! Expelliamus!"

This thread is creasing me up though, the Gaddafi perm 🤣🤣

I got told once I look Madonna. I was about 19 at the time and she must’ve been at least 50s! Bloke who said it didn’t get why I was offended…If I honestly listed every person I’ve been told I look like most posters wouldn’t believe me. I have had so many comments over the years. I think I have one of those faces that is just familiar to people and they try to place it. I had someone think I was famous recently on holiday but you could tell she wasn’t sure who..
