Have you ever been mistaken for someone famous?

    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.

    Why wouldn't you want to look like him... He is beautiful *swoon*

    Liz Vicious back when I had red hair. I had to google to find out who she was

    Cheryl Cole. Cos I've dimples. This is a constant one since she went on xfactor. It's flatteringish cos she is pretty but I just can't stand her cos she's just so chavy.
    Sandra Bullock. In my long light brown hair phase but not for a while.

    One night out drinking, someone told me I looked exactly like Michael Sheen. Still trying to figure out if that was a compliment or an insult.

    The footballer? My sister thinks he's real hot. I don't see it but I'm not a girl :)

    Yeah, him. Well between the two of us, he may have got the looks but I certainly got the footballing ability.

    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!

    cool a legal Emma Watson shaggable person

    Back when Leanne Rimes wasn't like a stick insect I was told I was the head off her a few times. Went on a girls holiday a good few years ago and met a bunch of Dublin girls who insisted on calling me leanne for the whole holiday:(

    Thread needs pics......actually only pics of girls who claim to look like hot celebrities...

    A crack addict in London thought I was Uma Thurman and asked me for my autograph, so I wrote in big capital letters on a napkin for him:

    UMA THURMAN


    He was delighted.

    I got mistaken for Joe Duffy's brother on a ferry to France years ago, ended up getting free pints from Irish Ferries for the entire trip, got sozzled with Joe, he ended up giving me his cabin after he got upgraded, sound man (well he was back then anyhow).

    I thought he meant the guy who started the Jordan Formula 1 racing team.

    twenty odd years ago, we'd go up to the west end of London at the weekends.
    If there was a long queue outside a club, I'd walk up to the bouncers and say I'm getting recognised in the queue any chance of letting us in now.

    We done it once for a laugh and it worked so we just tried it again and again...

    More often than not they'd let us through - I didn't actually look like anyone, just at the time I looked how Russell Brand looks now.

    Good days...

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

    Omg that's so weird it was just on the news the real Holly Willoughby was just attacked by some nutcase on the street, eye witness reported he kept shouting "Stop locking all the good threads..."

    Weird!

    A few years ago was constantly told I was the image of the lead singer from the Divine Comedy.. lately I've had a few girls shout at me in clubs that I look like Ryan Gosling.. the fact that they have shouted it at me makes me think it may be derogatory though...
