Who's your doppelgänger?

    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:

    Who's your doppelgänger?

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 819 ✭✭✭EDit


    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've been told I look like a young Marilyn Monroe....kinda weird since I'm a 45yo man

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,219 ✭✭✭mikeecho


    Dmitry Medvedev

    Or so I've been told


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,275 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,476 ✭✭✭neonsofa


    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!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 437 ✭✭Vela


    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:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,417 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭pumpkin4life

    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,070 ✭✭✭LadyMacBeth_


    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, Registered Users 2 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, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭ Galilea Late Officer


    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, Registered Users 2 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, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,093 ✭✭✭tuisginideach


    Gemma Craven - does anyone even remember her?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,505 ✭✭✭✭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, Registered Users 2 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.

    People often say I look like the Prof from Back To The Future, unkempt white hair,mad staring eyes, get the picture. ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,430 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    Another big forehead here. I used to get told everything from Gary Lucy, Hugh Grant, Brax to Fassbender... now I just get told to put out the bins. Herself thinks Brax, which is handy for her.

    Probably more Busey than Lucy these days. Only get Fassbender from my friend's drunk & horney older sister. I do have the red beard and German-Irish thing going though.

    It's the big forehead.

    Tom Sizemore as Sgt Horvath the fat f**** in Saving Private Ryan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,964 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    I don't look like anyone apparently - never been offered an opinion anyway. However there is a strong family resemblance down one side of the family and I am now familiar with strangers (to me) saying 'you must be x,y, or z's mother'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,977 ✭✭✭PandaPoo


    I genuinely look like jigsaw from the Saw films. It's uncanny. I'm a girl so whether that makes it worse I don't know


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,253 ✭✭✭Stonedpilot


    I always get confused with Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper. Its annoying at this stage tbh.

    If it's bigger than a forehead it's a fivehead.

    Imagine how big our kids' foreheads would be? I'm thinking cone head territory :D

    a guy at a party once said to me "You look like Brad Pitt"", I said why thank you, I take that..he followed up then by saying " Brad Pitt ran over by a bus" the whole place laughed, cheeky little ****

    Never seen one in Dublin but living in San Francisco in the 1990s I saw a guy who was basically a blond version of me. Uncanny.
