People are always telling me I look like someone famous. That ever happen to you?

With me (in order of frequency) it’s Elton John, John Lennon or John Denver, but Thursday night at work a family member who was with a patient I was treating hit me with a new one: Jerry Springer.

"That Sleazeball?!?, I ejaculated. And with those two words I managed to be insulted and insult someone else at the very same time.

Whoops. Sorry!

Hmm, I don’t think I’d apologize if someone got offended at that. What on earth could go through someone’s head to think that they should tell someone to their face that they resemble a, well, sleazeball? (Or that they should tell someone that and not get a less than positive response, I suppose.)

I range from Mr bean to Keanu Reeves.

In all honesty I look nothing like Keanu Reeves, it was just a comment from a rather creepy mother of a friend.

I don’t think I’ve ever been compared to anyone famous. Wait–back in Jr. high, someone told me that I looked a little like Alyssa Milano. Which I did. If you squinted, stood on your head, and took some serious drugs.

A year ago someone told me that I looked like John Candy. :frowning: I was not flattered.

In college I was told that I looked like Charles Gibson and Eddie Munster.

Perhaps I should clarify at this point that I am female. :eek:

A guy was trying to hit on me once and told me I look like Alanis Morisette. Ugh. Guess who didn’t get a date (he was married with four kids and also pinned me against a wall, so the Alanis thig wasn’t the real deal breaker)

I used to get the Tracy Gold thing a lot. Also Linda Blair. I guess it’s the pug nose and round face. At least I don’t get compared to a bulldog.

I was once told I looked like a younger Robert Redford. At was so long ago, at the time I had no idea who he was. I still only know he was an actor. It was also an elderly woman who made the statement. I didn’t know whether to be flattered or creeped out.

I get compared to George Michael,
or more recently, Russell Crowe smiles

Here are the pics those comments tend to get made over:

Don’t see it myself…

I used to be mistaken for Donny Osmond.

Now I still will on rare occasions overhear: “Boy, Donny Osmond has really let himself go, hasn’t he?”

In our younger days, we were sometimes mistaken for bats.

Ummm…yeah. You ejaculated on them?

Ewwwww…

When Xena: Warrior Princess was showing regularly, I got lots of comments on how I looked like Lucy Lawless (I’m an inch taller to boot!). My brother told me I looked like Erin Gray (Buck Rogers and Silver Spoons) but I can’t see it. Anyway, I went to a Xena/Hercules con and met Robert Trebor off the show. I got a lot of stares that day.

You have to bring raincoats when you meet Quasi! :smiley:

Guffaw!

I am guffawing here, Dude! :D:D:D

Love you and the Mlady!

For me, this causes a dead-stop and laugh every time I read a Sherlock Holmes story:

“Holmes!” I ejaculated. I imagine the good Dr. Watson’s pants are a mess.

On topic, I used to be told I looked like Kiefer Sutherland all the time when I was younger. I never could see the resemblance myself.

All throughout high school, I was told I looked like Jonathon Brandis.

Now, I have to fish for comments that I look like someone else.

I’ve been told I look like Julia Roberts, Chloe Maxwell, and once, Norah Jones.

I’ve been told I look like Wynonna Ryder. Hmmm. Sure.
