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?

The first was Theresa Di Marco from Eastenders! Then Pochahantas, Audrey Hepburn, Natalie Umbrulia, Penelope Cruz, Alexa Chung. I don't think I particularly look like any of them, maybe a mixture of them all!

Turmerictolly · 07/06/2025 19:51

When (much) younger, Sade and Kate O Mara.

MathsMum3 · 07/06/2025 21:12

Apparently I look like Nicola Walker from "Spooks" and "Unforgotten". Can't see it myself.

LittleTwiggy · 07/06/2025 21:27

Clara from Doctor Who (Jenna Coleman I think?) and as a child Myleene Klass when Hearsay were big. I think it’s just my skin tone/hair colour though as they’re being far too generous.

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)

I had to google Gugu Mbatha-Raw, I recognise her in a few things. She is absolutely stunning! Lucky you 😄

When I'm thin I get Drew Barrymore a lot. I see it - I have a similar shaped lower face and mouth. Really hard to explain as it's not a particular feature if you see what I mean, just a kind of overall look.

When I'm fatter (like now) I look a bit Rose West, particularly after some very ill advised 80s style glasses.

KitKateKat · 07/06/2025 22:08

When I was at uni and then also (different crowd named it) at work ... my nickname was / is Stiffler's Mom lol

QueefQueen80s · 07/06/2025 22:26

I love Drew Barrymores face!

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!

Kiefer 🤣🤣

Foostit · 07/06/2025 22:29

In my younger and slimmer days I was told quite a few times that I looked like Victoria Coren Mitchell. Before that I got Agnetha from Abba. I mean I’ll take both of those but definitely people being kind. 😂

Moier · 07/06/2025 22:32

When l was in my 20s/30s..l got told l look like Julia Roberts a lot.

frostedshreddie · 06/06/2025 23:25

I have been told Lily Allen, and Emma Stone.
I'll take it 😁

Me too, both! We must look alike

To me that is weird because they look nothing alike! To be fair, though, neither do the people I have been told I look like. I sometimes think that people are very unobservant and just notice height/build and colouring. That said, Emma Stone and Lily Allen don't even have the same build or colouring!

MayaPinion · 07/06/2025 22:57

I used to get a lot of people telling me I looked like Madonna when she was in her Like a Prayer/Desperately Seeking Susan era, but nothing since.

There’s a bit of Lily about her here. But I think my perceived likeness is mostly fringe so you could be right

It's just the fringe IMO. I don't think their actual faces look at all alike.

Ferretedaway · 07/06/2025 23:50

In the 80s when I had a perm lots of comments that I looked like Barbra Streisand. Also Susan Foreman, Dr Who’s first assistant. I can definitely understand both comparisons.

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 are just like her. You're so pretty.

Dangermoo · 08/06/2025 09:42

Before her bout of weight loss injections, hair extensions, teeth whitening and face alterations, I had always been told I looked like Karren Brady. I used to say, no, Karren Brady looks like me. 😍

Doggymummar · 08/06/2025 09:45

Lleys · 07/06/2025 08:08

I can definitely see the resemblance!

The only resemblance is they are both women!

I think you look a bit like Katy Wix. You look lovely!

Only one poster on the entire thread brave enough to post a selfie to back up their claims! 🤣

Posting photos of oneself really isn't advisable. Think about it.

Back in the day when Madonna was at her peak I was told loads how much I looked like her ..in recent years I've had Maria out of Corrie a couple of times apart from that I'm me!
