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

    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.

    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'.

    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, Registered Users 2 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 ****

    I don't see it myself.

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

    If you want to send it to me, I'd be happy to check it out :pac:

    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.

    A younger Mark Wahlberg... Around the time 3 Kings came out it was said to me by strangers i'd just met and friends...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,080 ✭✭✭Don Kiddick


    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

    Did Nobody tell you?.... Fiveheads are all the rage these days :D

    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"

    normal coors or coors light? :p

    I was once told I looked like Peter Griffin. That was a spectacularly good day.

    Not as much in the last 4 years or so since I cut my hair shorter and usually grow out the stubble a bit, but I used to get Dylan moran every week it felt like. Even got asked to take a photo twice out in town with people thinking I was him in a smoking area, and had workmates in Australia download promotional photos of him and convince other workmates o was a failed model (which is really weird because he is absolutely huge over there). :pac:

    Murderer Wayne O'Donoghue I was told once!

    I used to be told I was like Brock Lesnar, but then due to a little health issue I've lost 30kg (five stone?) and now I look like Mother Teresa :(

    Another time then there was a killer on the loose in the UK, Raul Moute (I think thats the spelling) and I had to agree I was a dead ringer for him.

    I was even approached by a venue manager and told that a Sky News team at the venue had shown interest in me lol (I'm not even joking).

    I was mistaken on 3 separate occasions for the lead singer of the Coronas by different ladies. I don't know if that could be considered a compliment or not :O

    I used to work in a large contact centre and there was a guy that worked on another account on a different floor but I kept bumping into him in the canteen and in the gents and so on. I knew there was this mutual understanding of the situation and coworkers kept telling me about my doppelganger. This was going on for months and I found it embarrassing.

    One day about a week before I left the job, myself and a colleague rounded a corner in the hallway and practically bumped straight into him. I still have no idea what possessed me but in the awkwardness of the moment I blurted out "Mother?" - he started laughing!
