Couple of years ago I went into a music shop to buy drum sticks and the nice girl mistook me for Brian McFadden.

Yes, loads of times but I could never claim to be big fans of those I was mistaken for so it doesn't count

People always seem to think I'm holly willoughby, it was flattering the first time but now it's just annoying.

I get the same with Justin Timberlake, it's only amusing for so long. The strange thing is it mainly Spanish that say it. As far as I'm concerned I look nothing like the little bollix.

People keep calling me by my twin brother's name. We don't look alike. There are NO KNOWN OCCURRENCES of people calling him by name.

On holiday in Vietnam a small group of Mexican tourists asked to take my photo as I apparently look like some Mexican celebrity (I don't look Mexican in the slightest), I haven't got a clue who they said, I just hope it wasn't the bumblebee guy off the Simpsons.

They keep looking at your chest right ?

I was once mistaken for Eddie Jordan in a pub in Temple Bar.:)

Inexplicable, because he's nowhere near as handsome as me, and I'm nowhere near as rich as him.;);)

A mate of mine was continuously accused of being Chris O'Donnell while in India no matter how much he denied it. He was volunteering and ended up in the slums being thanked profusely for his charitable works, he being a Hollywood star 'n' all.

I'm starting to think that I may in fact be Cillian Murphy due to the amount of people who seem to flip out over my resemblance to him... It's odd as fúck.

Funglegunk · 26-10-2012 05:40PM

I was on a stag and a load of lads in the pub thought I was Paul O'Connell for about two hours, and were buying me drinks and one lad even gave my his sunglasses as a gift. I was baffled by their hyper-friendliness and was fairly drunk myself, but my elaborate ruse was destroyed when one of their more sober and suspicious friends asked me what my name was.

I've been asked if i was a celebrity on 2 separate occasions. First was Gael Bernal Garcia a number of years ago when down in Galway. The other was Jay Hernandez just a few weeks ago in a best buy. 2 teenagers asked for my autograph while i was looking for a kettle. I get the Jay Hernandez one because people have always told me i look like him. Only thing me and Gael had resembling each other was probably the long hair and the fact i'm latino.

Peaches Geldof.

Forever being told that I look like the bloke lurking in the background of that dream sequence in the little-known 1989 film 'something Love' or 'In love something', anyway, love was almost certainly in the title I think, again I think but I'm not sure that it starred that guy Peter somebody or other, and the good looking girl from that soap on British TV, based either in London or else the north of England. The guy later went on to co-present that afternoon thingy on TV3 or ITV4, whilst the girl later went on to claim that David Beckham was her favourite ever footballer, I think, though couldn't be certain. Maybe she meant David Ginola.
Fùck knows.

I was over in London and had loads of people thinking I was Tyrone from cornation street. Got me into nite club for free so I didnt care.

ongarboy · 26-10-2012 10:50PM

Back in the 90s, countless people thought I was the spit of Dolph Lundgren (starred in He Man and Rocky among other action films) while one or two were convinced I was actually him. Also, people asked my dad for his autograph as they were convinced he was Victor Melgrew from One Foot in the Grave!
