    A girl once told me I looked like Jeremy Irons, but she was just trying to get into my pants.
    It worked

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,533 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Paul Scholes, Avid Merrion, Shamus the wrestler, and rather bizarrely, Heath Ledger

    I was delivering milk to a parochial house a few years back and this absolute stunner opened the door, dead ringer for Marilyn Monroe.

    As for an actual lookalike, Robin Van Persie, every single day, and made worse when he joined united.

    Well, Tommy Bowe does like like Andy Garcia, had he succumbed to a bad case of frostbite :-)

    People have come up to me and asked if I was Danny from the Script.
    I don't see it to be honest.

    Marty Morrissey. No idea who he is. In some boyband I suppose?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,528 ✭✭✭jubella


    Always get told I look like Adele... Not quite sure how to take it, especially when someone starts with "now I'm not saying this as a comment on your weight...." :pac:

    Aptly named :D

    (she's also Anthony Head's daughter... "Giles" in Buffy TVS a few years back)
    He was in the Inbetweeners film too iirc.


    At 17/18 I was Jack Black in School of Rock (shite long hair, long sideburns, '70s-ish clothes, bit chubbeh, played guitar)

    At 23/24 I was Michael C. Hall as Dexter (basically changed all of the above - well I still played guitar)

    At 27 going on 28 I've no idea really.. Probably Dexter is still the closest, but I'm beardier now, it probably doesn't sell as well...

    I've been told by numerous people that I look like Shay Given. Random people too. One woman on the DART walked up to me just to tell me.

    Forest Gump was another one haha......oh ice cream!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭Censorsh!t


    I used to get told that I look like Avril Lavigne an awful lot. People came up to me asking for autographs more than once :(

    I have since changed my hair, and don't hear it so much anymore, thank ****!

    I used to be told I looked like Kevin Smith when I was in college.

    Lost a bit of weight after that, and one time I was in Munich a bunch of Germans came up and asked for pictures with me. When I asked why, they said I looked like some famous German rapper. They really wouldn't believe me, even though I couldn't speak German. They started buying me and my mates drinks. Bizarre. They really thought I was trying to remain low-key and not be noticed. :confused: Funny tho.

    on colleague kept telling me i looked like Elaine from seinfield for some reason.

    I have often been told penelope cruz when I have a tan (I wish I did look like her!)

    oh and have been told a wierd number of times that I have a smile like Julia roberts - thanks to my big mouth when I smile!

    I've been getting loads of these lately, and they're all people who look complete different! Most recent ones are Clint Dempsey, a young James Nesbitt and "the guy from Prison Break".

    I don't look like any of these people.

    Natalie Imbruglia or Anna Friel.... on a good day!

    I mean if I'm having a good day :-)

    I'm famously known to not be known by nor look like anyone.

    I'm that unique.

    I was told I looked like Macklemore yesterday... Think it was my outfit more than anything though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,710 ✭✭✭Balmed Out


    I used to get pestered on the streets by people thinking I was david gray when he was very popular. Dont actually look very similar though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    This guy thought he looked like Justin Bieber:

    ( I'm guessing him being a pedophile had something to do with this delusion... )

    Oh my God - my dream woman Anna Friel...

    I was once told I looked like the "thick one from Boyzone who can't sing"... I thought that was all of them but it was clarified as Shane Lynch.. I was not pleased...

    Years ago I was sitting outside Heathrow T1 having a fag when Jeremy Clarkson sat down beside me. We chatted a bit while we smoked and as i finished off me fag I said to him....

    “you know, at work people call me Hammond”
    “oh yeah” he says, “whys that?”
    “Well”, says I, “obviously i look a little bit like him”
    “True” he says
    “but mostly” says I, “its cause I’m an obnoxious little cnut too”

    With that he nearly fell off the wall laughing. He pulls out the phone and called Hammond and told him the story, naturally Hammond hung up on him.
