Mum2Toby saying someone said she looked like Catherine Zeta-Jones on another thread has inspired me to start this thread. Has anyone ever told you you look like someone famous? If so, was it flattering or downright insulting?

I have been told I look like Cher, Anita Harris as that nurse in the Carry On film and even Julie Andrews........hmmmmmmmmm.

The funniest comparisons however, have come from the children in my family. My nephew once told me I looked like Mystic Meg (aaarrrgghhh) and my ds has compared me to Ann Widdecombe and Ronnie Corbett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I can say is, he's lucky he's so cute!!

When I was slim I was often told I looked like Jennifer Saunders but how I long to look like Shania Twain

Dinny · 21/04/2003 21:39

Sarah Jessica Parker - don't know if good or bad really. I think she looks quite old. Nutjob, you made me laugh as I have always thought my nan looks a bit like Ronnie Corbett. Can't work out in what way though!

Dave Hill, the drummer from from Slade

A pupil once said to me (about 7 or 8 yrs ago) "Miss, you're like the lady from Brookside with the body under the patio". Beth(Anna Friel)? I wish - she meant her mum, Mandy Jordache!!! Have also been likened to Sigourney Weaver, Caroline Quentin and Judy Finnegan. Spot the odd one out (the one who doesn't resemble a tired looking frump - no offence, Mandy, Caz and Judy).
Dh has been likened to Alex Adams from Holby City and Hugo Spear!!! Yes please - yum yum. What on earth does he see in me?!!!!

Furball · 22/04/2003 09:15

Jasper - I take it you cut your own fringe?

Meid · 22/04/2003 10:52

On the first day of my first job I was taken around the department and introduced to everyone: "this is Meid, don't you think she looks like Barbara Striesand?"

jasper · 22/04/2003 22:40

Furball you got it in one

clucks · 22/04/2003 23:25

I look like a fat Brian May from Queen. When I was slim people said Cher (during her frizzy phase)but that doesn't flatter me somehow.

Clarinet60 · 23/04/2003 23:48

I've been told I look like Robyn Givens and the girl on The Lottery. I can't see it myself.
DH is standing behind me and says he looks like Quasimodo / Shane McGowan (Pogues) and WLTM a Posh lookalike. He can shove it on both counts.

Clarinet60 · 23/04/2003 23:51

Jasper, if you look like Dave Hill, it's a good job this is virtual.

SoupDragon · 24/04/2003 07:21

Was Dave Hill the drummer? I thought he played guitar. Was he the one with the long straight hair?

Megg, I've been told Jennifer Saunders too! And Demi Moore (in the 80s when she had long hair and I was thin) And a young Liz Taylor...

In my dreams! I think I look more like Monica Lewinsky at the moment BOOOO

JoAnne427 · 26/04/2003 03:56

Okay, just today a co-worker told me I look like ginger spice - no idea what she looks like, but he said it was a compliment...I need to do a google search!

JoAnne427 · 26/04/2003 04:04

Just checked her out - way wrong, absolutely no resemblence whatsoever.

When I was in college, I was told I looked like Paulina Porizkova - oh so very long ago!

SueW · 26/04/2003 06:58

Did he mean Ginger Spice in her early days or the newly emerged Geri Haliwell? Quite a difference.

sb34 - yes - was meant as a compliment... and in case you were wondering, can assure you that the similarities to Bridget Jones have NOTHING to do with your contributions to the 'Big Knickers' thread......

P.S. I've lost the plot on the Croydon meet up - is it on another thread?

hi
been on hols so havent posted for an age but love this one. People used to compare me to my aunt (who is hideous) so much so that I was convinced she had had me illegitemately and given me to her brother to raise. As I am a third child and my parents had given up taking baby pohotos by the time I arrived it just compounded my theory. Got myself in a real tizz about this aged about 8. When I finally told my Mum she laughed for days.
