    Do people say you look like someone famous? Have you heard any names more than once?

    I've been to three work conferences in the past two weeks and got told I look like Sheryl Sandberg from Facebook twice, by totally random people. Besides that I've heard everyone from Helena Bonham Carter to Christina Ricci to"Stacey from Eastenders" to some girl called Rachel from Tipperary that seems to be a mutual acquaintance that I seemed to remind people of :confused:

    Been told my several people I look like Sam Rockwell. Was also sent a picture of Daniel Radcliffe that looked like me!

    Once, a long long time ago, someone said I look like Tom Cruise. More recently, when I grew a beard, I was told I look like Peter Sutcliffe

    I seem to have a familiar face because people have said that to me a lot, or thought I was someone that they knew. I've been told that I look like Christina Ricci and Alicia Keys, but to be honest I'd be an uglier version of them! My missus tells me that I look like an egg :D Someone once told me that I look like Katherine Heigl but I can't see the resemblance at all to be honest. Probably just trying to get the ride :p

    Dmitry Medvedev

    Or so I've been told


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,277 ✭✭✭Your Face


    Me and my doppelganger look nothing alike.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,177 ✭✭✭PeterParker957


    Mary Harney a few times I got.

    Oh and Shane Byrne once!!!

    Deffo NOT trying to get the ride there.

    I don't think I look like any of them but with dark hair Ive been told that I look like one of The Coors and another one was Honey from Eastenders :/

    I was also told I looked like Christina Ricci but it was when I had very dark hair, a bit too dark and they said I looked like Wednesday from The Adams Family :)

    As a blonde, someone said that I looked like "a better looking version of Ellie Goulding"

    Here's mine.

    I sadly must admit that when I had more hair and wore glasses it's kinda accurate.

    Only other person I look a lot like is my mother.

    So I look like a woman or an old ginger politician. Yay.

    Been told Emma Watson a few times, would love to believe it because she's gorgeous but I really can't see it.
    Been told Nicole Kidman too. Can see that a bit, not as happy bout that one!

    I get Jessica Jones all the time and it's bloody hilarious because people have no idea just how ironic it is :D I once went on a date with a dude who had this whole JJ fantasy in his head by the end of it.

    I'm pretty sure it's down to the dark hair+big eyes, my favourite (fake) leather jacket and massive scarves, my amazeballs cyber investigative skills, and that I err on the side of being blunt as fcuk.

    Yknow, rather than simply being sh1t hot.

    But... I'll take it! :cool:

    Some people think I have the demenor of Francis Brennan. I can see this OK.

    It's happening again.

    It's happening...again.

    But all jokes aside, apparently I look like Dale Cooper lol.

    If the Know Your Lookalikes thread in CPVL is anything to go by I resemble Francis Brennan, Boris Johnson and Andy from Little Britain (I’m a woman btw) :D

    Mind you my wife looks like her old bald uncle. Not sure which is worse.

    Painting a really pretty picture of us here... :o

    Oh yeah I forgot, my sister's boyfriend has always told me that I look like Stevie from "Malcolm in the Middle" :D

    I have a lung problem so I have an inhaler, I also have a big forehead and glasses and I had bad teeth as a teenager :p

    My entire family on both sides kept reminding me how much I looked like my grand-uncle "Father Joe" who was a generic looking grey aul fella until I was about 15. Way to give a girl a complex


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭McMurphy


    Apparently I'm very like Russel Crowe. (I have even been interrupted whilst in a restaurant eating dinner with my wife by someone to tell me this)

    I don't see it myself.

    And no. I'm going to post a picture of my self for comparison. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,460 ✭✭✭Barry Badrinath


    Im fat Matt Damon...apparently.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,225 ✭✭✭TheDavester


    When i was younger and clean shaven, a ginger, Michael Owen....


    Edit...and once I got a couple of women who came up to me in cork on a night out thinking I was Gavin James (he happened to do a gig that night) and amused my mates


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    I keep getting Walter White - the baldy/ goatee era (although I have a reddish beard) and I wear specs...


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The two I constantly get are Anna Kendrick and Keira Knightley. I'm darker than Knightley but am thin and sound similar, and am small and slight like Kendrick with the same long dark hair. The two don't look alike so I probabl look somewhere in the middle.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,053 ✭✭✭tuisginideach


    Gemma Craven - does anyone even remember her?


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,226 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    My brother has been asked for his autograph on occasion due to his resemblance to Patrick Kielty.

    That's going back a few years when he was younger and Kielty was more relevant.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,767 ✭✭✭SterlingArcher


    The guy from x men.
    The guy from shameless
    The guy from the last king of Scotland
    The guy from atomic blonde.
    The girl from filth.
