    Yes, and it really gets embarrassing when they chase you about Paris streets at high speed snapping photos. All that attention, especially if you and your crew have had one too many! Makes you want to crash until morning!

    All kidding aside? Sure, some have looked my way, scratched their head, and almost said, "You look like..." Now, if it was a good hair day, then it might be a positive comparison.

    God I'd love to look like her.

    I've been told Chloe that was in Home and away years ago, Katie Holmes, Catherine Zeta Jones and Andrea Corr. I don't look remotely like any of them though!:(

    Julia Ormonde - quite a compliment at the time ...I think

    curly hair & colouring is my only explanation.

    A guy once told me I looked like a mini- Michelle Pfeiffer, but then he threw up on my shoes so I didn't really believe his opinion, no-one else ever said I looked her since so I doubt it.

    A lot of people say I'm very like Janeane Garofalo in Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, wasn't too happy.

    Mostly Avril Lavigne (:mad:)

    And Amy Lee from Evanescence.

    Don't see it myself though. Often get called snow white - does she count as a celeb seeing as she doesn't actually exist?? lol :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 491 ✭✭*Lees*


    The one I get most is Kara Tointon ... Dawn from Eastenders!

    Another one I get a lot is Luciana the singer in that Bodyrox song 'Yeah Yeah' ... .. It's wierd because I can actually see the resemblance here myself!!!!

    I've gotten a few wierd ones in the past Ashanti, Charlotte Church and Buffy the Vampire Slayers little sister in the series?? :confused: lol
