    Not so much mistaken but I've been told I look like all of these people on more than one occasion

    Leroy from the prodigy
    Thierry Henry
    Zac de la Rocha
    Sam from Emmerdale :(

    I don't get mistaken for famous people. Famous people get mistaken for me.

    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.

    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: 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.
