Lighthearted thread..
I got into a taxi today and the driver turned to me and said… My god you are the spitting image of a young Annie Lennox! I am chuffed by this, she’s beautiful, can’t say I see it but I’ll take the compliment.
The only other celeb I’ve ever been compared to was Billie Piper in my teens, I can see this more.
Anyone else care to share there celebrity lookalike?

I’m the love child of Kirsty Gallacher and Slash from Guns n Roses - throughout my 20s I would get either 🤣

AndOnThatTree · 07/06/2025 13:38

I mentioned as a teen I’d get Billie Piper a lot, also Carly Simon. When I first met my husband he kept on with you remind me of someone but couldn’t think who until one day… Tada!! I’ve got it, Steven bloody Tyler! Looking at pictures though I can see they all have a similar look, I think I look more like this than Annie Lennox. My son looks a lot like Eric Mernandez, hopefully he doesn’t follow in his footsteps or my days are numbered.

Rachel Stevens is not from Steps lol.

lol S club or whatever it’s called 😂

tbf if you google Rachel from steps it doesn’t correct you it just shows Rachel Stevens 😂

BigBoonda · 07/06/2025 14:52

I've had Martine McCutcheon, Idina Menzel and Hagrid (because of my hair) 😂

Siberianskies · 07/06/2025 14:58

Heather Peace when she was in London's Burning.

onthewineagain · 07/06/2025 15:25

In my 20s, Christina Aguillera and Peaches Geldof (before she got really thin).

I kind of see it, similar face shape.

Nobody has said it for years though. No comparisons for a long time now.

SmellsLikeMiddleAgeSpirit · 07/06/2025 15:41

Used to get told a lot that I looked like Lorraine Kelly, went on for years. Think I still do look a bit like her.
I fancied DH in the late 80s because he looked like Robert de Niro. He still does, but the old craggy version!

DD is a dead ringer for Saoirse Ronan.

mondaytosunday · 07/06/2025 15:45

My PT is the spit of a younger Deborah Harry.
I looked like, back in my 20s (depending on the age of the person saying it) Gina Lollobrigida or Nastassja Kinski.

wayneismylife · 07/06/2025 15:56

When I was younger I got told I looked like Cameron Diaz.
At Christmas time my 2 year old pointed to a picture of Susan Boyle and said 'mummy'.
I don't think the years have been kind to me🤣.

Itiswhysofew · 07/06/2025 16:10

Sandra Bullock. I do not look like her in any way, shape or form - really🤪

Julia St John, actress. I'd love to look like her, but again, I do not🤣

Itiswhysofew · 07/06/2025 16:23

ExercicenformedeZ · 07/06/2025 10:37

Sophie Okonedo (I don't really, I don't think, although I'll take it! She's stunning)
Gugu Mbatha-Raw. (that is more accurate)
Jessie Matthews (Starred in a lot of films from the 1930s and 1940s)

Nice one.☺️

I honestly would prefer to look like Steven or Carly than like Billie!

ncforschoolhelp · 07/06/2025 16:49

I've had Sandra bullock and posh spice lots - mainly when I was younger!

People used to say I looked like a young (pre surgery) Meryl Streep when I was about 10.
All I could think of was 'gawd, why couldn't you say Wendy James from Transmission Vamp or Madonna?'

Someone in France said I looked like Gwen Stefani once. But I had been sleeping in the park so I very much (No) Doubt that was true!

Now I haven't had any celebrity moments for many years. Bring back Meryl! Though I'll need a nose job to look like her at this point. 🤣

I was told I looked like Meryl Streep too , on the cover of the French Lieutenants Woman

I;ll take that happily

She's really good looking. I was just being a ten year old brat when I didn't appreciate it. In this pic her eyes look very dark, I thought they were usually green/blue?

Either way we should both be satisfied with being Maryl-esque! If only I had her money! 😂

InWithThePlums · 07/06/2025 17:32

When my hair is dark I get the mum from Twilight. And Ginny Weasley when it’s light.

OldWomanInACardigan · 07/06/2025 17:35

Someone said, years ago, that I looked like Rose West! Round face, dark hair, glasses.

Now, Kathy Burke but with grey hair 😂

TheCoralMoose · 07/06/2025 01:04

Someone said i look a bit like Meghan Markle.

I am a size 16 at the moment certainly not as slim as her.

Edited

You remind me of the actress Tiffany Thiessen

looselegs · 07/06/2025 18:21

When my elderly Mum was in hospital, one of the other patients said I "looked like that lesbian horsey woman off the telly" She said it so loud, everyone turned to have a look!
Claire Balding in case you're wondering. I have short hair. That's the only similarity.
Disclaimer- I have not got any problems with anyone's sexuality, and I certainly wouldn't mind her money.

GiddyDog · 07/06/2025 18:24

I used to get Alyssa Milano fairly often, had a creepy customer when I worked in a pub who insisted on only calling me Alyssa.
My dad is the spitting image of Anthony Lapaglia.

I work with a guy who is the spitting image of Rose West, I haven’t mentioned it though.
Love Kathy Burke.

I’ve been told Drew Barrymore and Bjork, both of which I’m fine with, though I can’t see it. My best friend at school said I reminded her of Kiefer Sutherland, which is less flattering!

greenismyfavorite · 07/06/2025 19:20

Been compared to Baby Spice/ Emma Bunton a lot since my teenage years and occasionally still now in my forties. We do have similar mannerisms and smiles. I’ll take it.

ScoobyDoobyDooooooooooooo · 07/06/2025 19:28

My colleague thinks I look like Summer Glau.

We're totally different colouring but I can sort of see what he means...
