Did anyone ever tell you that you look just like <insert famous name here>?

I get Delta Burke and Kirstie Alley all the time. Jeez I know I’m fat but do you have to point it out? :mad:

My girlfriend’s has a huge crush on Seth Rogan, and has since he was in Freaks and Geeks.

Her brother in Law’s reaction to meeting me for the first time:

“Holy crap! You couldn’t be dating anyone who looked more like Seth Rogan without actually dating Seth Rogan.”

So apperantly I look like Seth Rogan.

A friend of mine looks a LOT like Liam Neeson. In fact, he (Liam, not my friend) was on the cover of a magazine, and I almost bought it to get Tony to autograph it for me. :smiley:

I’ve got a friend who bears a striking resemblance to a young Shane MacGowan without the jug ears and the unfortunate teeth.

For years, I was told I look like Spike Lee. Yeah, *exactly * like him, since we both are black and wear glasses and that’s about it. This wouldn’t be so bad if it was happening while someone was handing me the proceeds from his paycheck.

An ID picture I took once (without my glasses) came out looking remarkably like Martin Lawrence. People commenting on the that similarity wasn’t so bad, though, because it *was * an uncanny resemblance.

I also hated when I lost the ID (my backpack was stolen); it was one of the few pictures I’ve ever taken that I actually liked.

I am sorry for your friend. Even without the ears and teeth, shane was never good looking.

When I was much younger, I got a lot of people telling me I looked like Jodie Foster. One guy even adamantly insisted that I was Jodie Foster even after I said I wasn’t. I imagine he went home and told everyone he met Jodie Foster, but she wouldn’t admit it.
I also used to get Drew Barrymore a lot.
In the last fifteen years or so, nobody ever tells me I look like anyone in particular, but I get a lot of, “You look just like somebody I know.”
Personally, I think I look like Heather Graham if she were about fifty pounds heavier and had darker hair.

My dad is a dead ringer for Johannes Brahms, except his beard is about half a foot shorter. Someone gave him a framed print of this picture with "Johannes Hume, 1833 - " written on the bottom.

Younger Robert Redford…When my hair was long…

I was once told I looked like Rufus Sewell, which–aside from the black curly hair we have in common–was truly a nutty pronouncement.

Then again, it was a dude who said it. I’d never expect a lady to make such a colossal mistake.

I’ve been told Peter Ustinov and “a chunky Kenneth Branagh but with lips”. My sister thinks I look like Dan Akroyd which I do not see at all, but then she’s crazy.
Me 3 years ago andMore Recent.

I know I’ll be called crazy for making this confession, but I always thought the young Shane MacGowan was cute in an adorably goofy sort of way (but the teeth are totally unacceptable). You know, like the babies or dogs who are so ugly they’re cute?

And as for my friend, he’s quite the charmer, he doesn’t have a problem with the ladies at all. I think the Boston accent helps though.

Uh, dudes who are linking to celebrity photos but not your own, we KNOW what the celebs look like. If we’re to sit in judgment of you we need YOUR photo. :wink:

Someone who was overdoing the flattery once told me I look like Keanu Reeves.
At the time I realized it was meant to be a complement, but took it as an insult because I understood Keanu Reeves to be a bit mentally disjointed.
If I was to describe who I think I look like, I think I look a tiny bit like Mr Bean.

A friend once got annoyed at me for something or other and started telling me I looked like (1) Charles Gibson and (2) Eddie Munster.

Granted, I had my hair cut VERY short at the time. But I’d like to mention at this point that I’m FEMALE.

But dammit, she was right.

Well, it could have been worse.

I had a friend once who looked EXACTLY and I mean EXACTLY like a young Sammy Davis Jr. (only difference is his hair was natural instead of greased and coiffed). He got furious when EVERYBODY told him, with “Why is it that just because you’re black and short and wear thick glasses and have a moustache and my shade and with this weird mouth twist happening everybody assumes Sammy Davis Jr.!” We told him that it was because Sammy Davis was black and short and wore thick glasses and had a moustache and was his shade and had that weird mouth thing happening.

Oh, and he sounded like him too. Except ironically when he sang- then he sounded more like the “Free from infeccttttioooon” guy from Coming to America.

I’ve been told that I look like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jay Mohr and whoever that guy is who played Zack on Saved By The Bell. It’s not Johnny Depp, but I’ll take it.

In Japan they are always telling the foreigners that they look like someone famous, usually a very good looking famous person but to the Western eye, the foreigners look nothing like the famous person, there were a lot of Brad Pitts etc - but I eagerly awaited my pronouncement, was it to be Sharon Stone (the younger) etc etc - Well, I lived there for 7 years and only once, yes, that’s once did anyone say I looked like anything and it wasn’t a famous person at all, it was ‘a sheep’!!!

Nutty old lady, what would she know anyway.

I don’t look like anyone famous, except once when I tried growing a beard and people said I looked like Jesus. But that was almost 15 years ago. And we don’t know what Jesus looked like anyways.

When I was 16, I was a lifeguard. I ran cross-country, so I was really scrawny. I had long shaggy light brown hair, and I spent a lot of time playing guitar. I heard often from people who were swimming at the water park that I looked exactly like Beck

I don’t see it, but I’ve been told it over and over.

Also, when I graduated school, I worked at a garage for a few months. One of the guys there swore I looked like the singer from Rascal Flatts. He was a crazy old guy, though, so that’s fine…heh
