Ever been mistaken for a famous person? If so who?

I've had a lot of odd incidences where people thought they recognised me. Most recently I had a woman plant a kisser on me because she thought she knew me, of course I put her straight. Out the door... of course.

Then I've been told that I looked like a younger blonde (better nosed) version of 'er. Without the jacket, of course

larchielads · 11-12-2009 06:54AM

a few people that i worked wit and a few other random people used to tell me i looked like billy joe from green day never quite saw it though myself. one time in new york i was in a bar and went to request a song and the guy told me i looked like billy joe as well. so not just at home do i get told but other parts of the world too. and before i anyone says it that guy must've been an AMERICAN IDIOT to think i looked like him.

A chick said (when i was extremely ill and lost a stone or two) that i looked like a (albeit handsome

) Ryan Tubridy.

Strangers thing i look like the youngest brother from RTE's love is the drug. I was hounded when that was on the box.

So far I have been mistaken for the following people:

Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
James Hetfield
Andrew Strong

I think it was to do with the long hair which is now gone but I do occassionally get stopped by people who think they know me.

Not really famous but my friend's dad thought I was the guy from the confused.com ad :pac:

Years ago in Coppers some woman kept following me around the place convinced I was some Clare county hurler.

I was also once mistaken for myself. I was walking through town and a friend of mine tipped me on the shoulder, I turned around and he said "Oh sorry, I thought you were my mate". "No problem" said I, and continued walking on for a second, before turning around and calling him a plank. Took him a second or 2 to cop it actually was me.

DOC09UNAM · 11-12-2009 10:05AM

Went to Australia for a year and one night in Sydney a few lads came over and started asking me to say something funny, tell a joke etc..

Apparently they thought I was comedien Jim Eoin...checked out the pic of him and I'm pretty close.

Bumped into Luke Wilson in the gents in Sydney at a Tenacious D concert and said "Oh my God, Owen Wilson!!!". He just looked not impressed at me, and said quietly "No, my name is Luke" and walked off.

In Tanzania I was mistaken for Wayne Rooney, three times. Serves me right for not shaving and being a scruffy git.

Auldloon · 11-12-2009 11:12AM

I've been mistaken for Jackie Chan:D.

zootroid · 11-12-2009 11:32AM

Not quite mistaken, but I have been told a few times I looked like Phil Neville.

To be honest, I'm not very happy as I'm certain I'm better looking

BraziliaNZ · 11-12-2009 11:33AM

I look like my dad who is Yusef Islam AKA Cat Stevens

--Kaiser-- · 11-12-2009 11:59AM

Two people at different times said I look like this guy;

Paulo Costanza

Which I totally don't.

My mate got mistaken for Rio Ferdinand before......whom he actually does resemble
