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.
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 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 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 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.
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.
