Ever been mistaken for a famous person? If so who?

    A man once hounded me for an autograph, thinking I was Asia Argento, but he was high.

    Who have you been mistaken for? Or which famous person do other people say you resemble?

    There's a brothel near here where I keep getting mistaken for Our Lord. Every time I go down there, someone shouts "Jesus Christ, you again?"

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Maggie Gyllenhaal. But there was drink involved, we'd just watched the Secretary, and I'm pretty sure some raging hormones were flying around the room. She's way hotter :o

    Maggie Gyllenhaal looks like a sad turtle, I'd be insulted if I were you

    Unfortunately I look like a mournful goat* most of the time, so a sad turtle is a step up :pac:

    *Yes, someone really did say that to me. That was a good day.

    I walked into a bar in the states once and everyone thought I was some Nascar driver. When the Irish accent didn't give it away I had no pity on them and accepted their offers of drink with glee.

    or abroad on holiday somebody might say they think you look like somebody famous or somebody they know . :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,565 ✭✭✭southsiderosie


    Once someone asked me if I was Jordin Sparks in the airport at 5am, before I had my coffee. Afterwards I felt bad about snarling at him.

    Michelle Rodriguez (she seems like she would actually snarl at someone).

    I don't think I look like either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,942 ✭✭✭Danbo!


    Heston Blumenthal a couple of times. But by mistaken, I mean drunk people saying "you look like that chef fella." Then again, he aint that famous, so in answer to your question, em, no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,430 ✭✭✭GiftofGab


    Never got mistaken for a famous person but a few people said I looked like Will Young.....would rather not look like him

    Andrea Corr.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,264 ✭✭✭✭Alicat


    A customer was staring at me last week, and she eventually said "Do I know you from somewhere?" And I'm going, I don't think so lady....And then she said "Oh, no, you know what? You look just like the woman on the telly!"

    *me rolling eyes* "Kirsty Allsop?"

    "Yeah that's it!"

    All the time.
