Have you ever been mistaken for someone famous?

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

King Of Wishful Thinking

Yes, a few weeks ago and by a load homeless junkies at 3am.

Was in Eddie Rockets on O'Connell St and seen and one of them came in to ask the security guy for a paper cup and when he sees me his eyes widen and he says:

"No way man, no way! What! No way"

The he realizes that I'm not who he thought I was but shouts to his fellow zombies to come in (they do) and he says:

"Look, look David fcuking Gretta what, what, isn't it, it's not like, but isn't it. You're the spit of him man, the spit, that's mad".

I just said cheers and when they left I says to the staff: "I look nothing like David Guetta" and the security guy says: "They're are half dead Sir, pay no attention".

Many years ago people occasionally asked me if I was Keith Floyd. Now the only similarity is my wine drinking

The exact opposite actually, I'm rarely recognised when out alone in public.

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!

I don't believe it!

Allround Predator

I get mistaken for Brad Pit all the time:P

David Spade. New York, California, London, Newcastle(I know, the one family that had a tv and I bump into one of them).....he's obviously handsome bastard!

I think everyone's confused by Marty Morrissey.
When he walks down the street, dogs cock their heads at weird angles in order to determine just what it is they're seeing.
I was watching TV with an American friend when 'Marty' appeared on screen, quick as a flash my Yankee chum whipped out his camera to take a snap so he could "show the folks back home".

I get people thinking I'm Julius Ceaser all the fecking time.

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

Always thought you were a woman. Learn something new every day.

When I was a bit younger I used to get people telling me I looked like the main actor from that 70's show but I can't see the resemblence.

Was once asked by a guy if I was famous, I asked who he thought I was and he said he just thought I looked like I could be famous, was very confused afterwards because if I was famous he would know me
Other than that my daughter pointed to a picture of Emma Watson in a magazine and said she looks like me, but as flattered as I was it is not true in the slightest!
