People always seem to think I'm holly willoughby, it was flattering the first time but now it's just annoying.

I get the same with Justin Timberlake, it's only amusing for so long. The strange thing is it mainly Spanish that say it. As far as I'm concerned I look nothing like the little bollix.

People keep calling me by my twin brother's name. We don't look alike. There are NO KNOWN OCCURRENCES of people calling him by name.

Pompey Magnus

On holiday in Vietnam a small group of Mexican tourists asked to take my photo as I apparently look like some Mexican celebrity (I don't look Mexican in the slightest), I haven't got a clue who they said, I just hope it wasn't the bumblebee guy off the Simpsons.

They keep looking at your chest right ?

Ellis Dee

I was once mistaken for Eddie Jordan in a pub in Temple Bar.:)

Inexplicable, because he's nowhere near as handsome as me, and I'm nowhere near as rich as him.;);)

A mate of mine was continuously accused of being Chris O'Donnell while in India no matter how much he denied it. He was volunteering and ended up in the slums being thanked profusely for his charitable works, he being a Hollywood star 'n' all.

I'm starting to think that I may in fact be Cillian Murphy due to the amount of people who seem to flip out over my resemblance to him... It's odd as fúck.

Funglegunk

I was on a stag and a load of lads in the pub thought I was Paul O'Connell for about two hours, and were buying me drinks and one lad even gave my his sunglasses as a gift. I was baffled by their hyper-friendliness and was fairly drunk myself, but my elaborate ruse was destroyed when one of their more sober and suspicious friends asked me what my name was.

FYP.

El Horseboxo

I've been asked if i was a celebrity on 2 separate occasions. First was Gael Bernal Garcia a number of years ago when down in Galway. The other was Jay Hernandez just a few weeks ago in a best buy. 2 teenagers asked for my autograph while i was looking for a kettle. I get the Jay Hernandez one because people have always told me i look like him. Only thing me and Gael had resembling each other was probably the long hair and the fact i'm latino.

Peaches Geldof.

Forever being told that I look like the bloke lurking in the background of that dream sequence in the little-known 1989 film 'something Love' or 'In love something', anyway, love was almost certainly in the title I think, again I think but I'm not sure that it starred that guy Peter somebody or other, and the good looking girl from that soap on British TV, based either in London or else the north of England. The guy later went on to co-present that afternoon thingy on TV3 or ITV4, whilst the girl later went on to claim that David Beckham was her favourite ever footballer, I think, though couldn't be certain. Maybe she meant David Ginola.
Fùck knows.

Truman Burbank

No.

Little Bubbles

I was over in London and had loads of people thinking I was Tyrone from cornation street. Got me into nite club for free so I didnt care.

ongarboy

Back in the 90s, countless people thought I was the spit of Dolph Lundgren (starred in He Man and Rocky among other action films) while one or two were convinced I was actually him. Also, people asked my dad for his autograph as they were convinced he was Victor Melgrew from One Foot in the Grave!

Yes, a few weeks ago and by a load homeless junkies at 3am.

Was in Eddie Rockets on O'Connell St and seen and one of them came in to ask the security guy for a paper cup and when he sees me his eyes widen and he says:

"No way man, no way! What! No way"

The he realizes that I'm not who he thought I was but shouts to his fellow zombies to come in (they do) and he says:

"Look, look David fcuking Gretta what, what, isn't it, it's not like, but isn't it. You're the spit of him man, the spit, that's mad".

I just said cheers and when they left I says to the staff: "I look nothing like David Guetta" and the security guy says: "They're are half dead Sir, pay no attention".

Many years ago people occasionally asked me if I was Keith Floyd. Now the only similarity is my wine drinking

The exact opposite actually, I'm rarely recognised when out alone in public.

I've been likened to Gerry Adams more than once. Kill me now!

I think everyone's confused by Marty Morrissey.
When he walks down the street, dogs cock their heads at weird angles in order to determine just what it is they're seeing.
I was watching TV with an American friend when 'Marty' appeared on screen, quick as a flash my Yankee chum whipped out his camera to take a snap so he could "show the folks back home".
