Seen any celebrity lookalikes lately in town?

Please share your run-in with Celebrity Look-Alikes…this is my story…

We had to make a trip to the local “Stapler Supplies” store to pick up some office odds and ends. I was with my SO and a couple of friends. We go into the store and split up into different directions. I went down the one aisle gathering what I needed and passed the front of the store when this young lady came in looking exactly like Reese Whitherspoon - the smile and all. Calmly I went in the next aisle and then ran up to get my SO “PookyTraveler” - I was ROFL and trying to gather myself to tell her that someone like Reese Witherspoon is up at front of the store.

We quickly but calmly rushed to the front to see if we could spot her. She was over by the copy machines getting some copies made. “PT” freaked out and said yeah it’s Reese Whitherspoon. Now all of our friends are up front as well so we have this small mob looking at this poor girl. So “PT” goes up to her (this girl in her “Cruel Intentions” school attire) and calmy talks to her.

The rest of us check out our items and wait outside the store. My SO comes out and says to wait. This girl come out and tells us she is flattered she looks like a Celebrity. I think Reese can buy her own copier and why would someone come into small town “Bedford” anyway :slight_smile: Anyway, at least we made a new friend as long as we don’t call her Reese.

The same thing happened to me except I was the “Reese Witherspoon” in your story above. I went into Dunkin Donuts and got my order free because the waitress first mistook me for John Cusack. This happens from time to time. I gently corrected them but they thought seeing a look-alike was pretty cool too.

My MIL was once mistaken for Doris Day, and gave an autograph. This was in the 60s; they’re the same age.
