Ever been told that you look like a certain celebrity?

[Blue in a Red State]

And whom might that be?

[Kire]

1. used to be Johnny Depp

no shit, but now that I've gained a ton of weight I get compared to Kevin Smith when I wear my trench coat

[helnwhls]

6. remember the fire-truck red lipstick!

Are you my ex?

[Kire]

27. sorry

I honestly don't know what you're talking about.

[helnwhls]

my ex used

to look like johnny depp and then he fancied himself robert smith, )not kevin smith, MY BAD), who fancied fire-truck red lipstick. Bully for you! I will of course, drink more.

[Kire]

7. when I was in drag in college, somebody told me I looked like...

...Anjelica Houston.

[Nicole]

30. Helen Hunt

with darker hair.

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. My son thinks his uncle is Captain Jack. We went to the movie and

he turned to me and said, "Mommma, is that Uncle Jim?" ;) :hi:

[helnwhls]

2. my ex told me I looked like

Xtopher walken, care for some sparlkling champagne?

[nytemare]

66. LOL

Yes I would love some cham-pag-na. Chris Walken is the MAN!!..LOL

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

3. God, yes.

As a kid ALL THE TIME I got "you look like Valerie Bertinelli."

And I guess I did.

(As a teenager I still got that one a bit, but she was kind of waning in popularity by then.)

I was told by someone recently that if I were just a bit thinner, I'd be a dead ringer for Catherine Zeta Jones.

Didn't know if that was a compliment or not.

[Sperk]

23. That's funny, I used to get Valerie Bertinelli a lot too, when I was

in my 20's. Never got Catherine Zeta Jones though, I would definitely take that as a compliment! :-)

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. I would say thats a BIG compliment, shes gorgeous, IMO anyway

:D

[JohnKleeb]

41. Catherine Zeta Jones? thats a compliment

[K8-EEE]

4. Lauren Becall eom

[unblock]

5. tom cruise, dustin hoffman, and gilbert gottfried

other than the dark hair, i don't see it in any of them.

[da_chimperor]

8. I've been told I look a lot like a fairer keanu reeves

:scared:

[Left Is Write]

9. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago

I used to get told I looked like Markie Post. I've also been told I look like a blonde Valerie Bertinelli.

[MisterP]

10. McCauley Culkin, etc., etc.

now I just look like Max Headroom

[mrdmk]

11. Unfortunately, Chuck Norris

I hear the guy is a a$$hole!

[eileen from OH]

12. Margo Kidder

In my (and her) younger days.

eileen from OH

[Hello_Kitty]

13. Cartoon characters: Jessica Rabbit and Ariel the Little Mermaid

Can't complain about that! ;-)

[MuseRider]

14. Diane Keaton.

When she and I were both younger. Sleeper came out when I was in college and people used to stop me on the street. She has aged much better than I have. She is thinner but I am less wrinkled, I filled mine all out!

[intheflow]

15. Used to be Debra Winger.

Back in the '80's when she was still around.

[Poiuyt]

16. I think I look like Cary Grant

Though Enrico Colantoni might be closer to the truth (Elliot DiMauro from "Just Shoot Me")

[Left Is Write]

18. I like Elliot.

I used to have a little crush on him.

[Blue in a Red State]

21. Hey, I really LIKE Enrico Colantoni!

Loved him as Elliot and he was a real stitch in Galaxy Quest.

[mondo joe]

17. Cousin Balki from that tv show - Perfect Strangers?

[Kire]

42. my condolences

[xpunkisneatx]

19. Christina Aguilera...

In the genie in a bottle days (not Dirrty...lol). I guess thats a pretty good compliment. I think she is pretty.

[TeddyKGB]

28. Pictures, please.

;-)

[billkurtmeyer]

20. Van Johnson - time and time again - he was a 40's actor.

I myself don't see the resemblance as others do (except from a certain angle). I was stopped by an Australian women in LAX once and she went on and on that I was a look-alike.

[berner59]

25. Jane Fonda...

Even at a Paris cafe...the waiter kept pointing...it was weird... Best was when I went to Jane Fonda's son's play and people kept turning around...fun...

[jdots]

22. Yeah and i cut thier heart out with a Q tip

What are ya Blind ??????? i don't look anything like Pee Wee Herman on acid.

[NightTrain]

24. Two, in fact -- both associated with "M*A*S*H."

In high school, we watched "Harold & Maude" for a class called Techniques of Comedy. Several classmates told me they thought I resembled the 1971-era Bud Cort. Years later, when I started wearing gold-rimmed glasses, some folks opined that they made me look like Gary Burghoff.

Everybody knows Burghoff as Walter "Radar" O'Reilly in "M*A*S*H," but did you know that Bud Cort was in the original film version? Coincidence? I think not!

[Dem Agog]

29. Sandra Bullock

Otherwise I usually get the old, "You look like someone I know... I can't put my finger on it..."

[TeddyKGB]

32. see post #28

:silly:

[Dem Agog]

34. It would just be a disappointment...

I don't think I look anything like Sandra Bullock. I'm pretty sure the guys who told me that were just looking to get in my pants. ;)

Anyway, here ya go. Not the best shot but one of the most recent. We were in Greece, my hair was in a bad way...

[Phentex]

45. I used to be told this

in fact while I served on jury duty, the whole group kept telling me that! My hair was darker then, but I still don't see it.

[SheilaT]

31. Geraldine Chaplin

many, many years ago. Actually, two different people who had known her when she was a teenager told me I reminded them of her, more than looking like her. Have always wanted to meet her as a consequence, but that's not likely to ever happen.

[Frogtutor]

33. Madonna (80's), Lauren Becall, Goldie Hawn (90's), Britney Spears('00) n/t

[Chicago Democrat]

35. Elton John

and I fukin hate it...

Anyone who says it is a "VILE PIG!"

[RevolutionaryActs]

36. My uncle thinks I look like a young Rene Russo.

And a friend of a friend saw my picture once and said I looked like the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, I loved that one! Go Natalie! :D

I dont see any of those comparisons though :shrug:

[ImADeanDem]

37. The woman from "JAG" -- sorry, I don't know her name!

I don't see the resemblence at all, but several people have told me I look like her!

[Left Is Write]

78. Catherine Bell?

[NV Whino]

38. In my younger days (20s)

And hers, I might add, I was a dead ringer for Sandy Duncan. I think it was the nose.

[Cadence]

39. Heather Locklear.

When my hair was shorter and very platinum.

[eoberhauser]

40. Claire Danes

Mostly when I was in high school

Erin

[BiggJawn]

43. John Goodman

Was kind of cool when his carreer was hot and he wasn't so fat.

Oh, well, guess that's better than being told "you put that point acroos just like Ron Artest would have"...:D

[matcom]

46. Riker

[Guaranteed]

48. LOL I can kind of see that...or is that

just his butt?

[matcom]

49. lol

even Pitt said so

[ScreamingMeemie]

56. From Star Trek? People say MrG looks like him when he has his beard.

Without it, they say he looks like Jim Carrey which irritates me to no end.

[Guaranteed]

47. Ewan MacGregor, Michael J. Fox, even got a Russell Crowe once.

Plus, someone once told me I have a "Tom Cruise complex."

I think the Ewan MacGregor is probably most fitting. But my girlfriend thinks I look exactly like this blonde guy on Everwood name Ephram. At first I didn't believe her, and then I looked and I was like "Whoa!"

[arwalden]

50. My Partner Looks Like Liam Neeson's Younger Twin Brother

[terrya]

61. My Partner looks like David Hyde Pierce.

But he's also been told he looks like Sir Elton John, which I DON'T see whatsoever. Some guy sitting next to us on the subway in Toronto Monday night told Doug that, in fact.

[arwalden]

65. Yum...

I mentioned DHP just the other day while you were still away....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=2070531&mesg_id=2070833

[terrya]

74. Oh, I think both DHP and Doug are sexy.

Obviously in Doug's case. :-)

Having a partner who looks like Liam Neeson's younger brother is VERY cool.

[Bluzmann57]

51. Frankenstein

or maybe Igor.

[johnnie]

52. People used to say

Johnny Cougar Mellencamp...or whatever name he is going by. Once in a while people still say that, but not as much.

[seaglass]

53. Connie Selleca from "Hotel" - wow, this is dating me. I never

really saw the resemblance.

[SarahB]

54. Belinda Carlisle, Natalie Maines, and Christy Brinkley

(And the girl who played "Blair" on the Facts of Life, but I don't like to admit to it because she's a rabid right winger.)

[Cerridwen]

55. Meryl Streep, Gillian Anderson, and I think her name is Carol

Linley, though the caffeine hasn't yet kicked in so my brain is operating at 10%.

[Metatron]

57. Julia Roberts

and Gwynneth Paltrow (sp?) which made no sense to me whatsoever

[Crankie Avalon]

58. Before I had to start wearing glasses...

...I used to get compared to Tom Cruise a lot--which I, all in all, didn't like (he seems like such a clean-cut frat boy type). But I've almost always had short dark brown hair like his and I guess our builds are similar (though I'm a little taller than him).

If I really have to be told I look like someone else (am I not unique and one-of-a-kind??;-) ), I would prefer to be compared to someone a little "hipper."

[regularguy]

59. People regularly tell me that I look like Ben Stiller.

I think he's decent looking and I like really inane immature humor so I can't complain.

[qnr]

60. Dustin Hoffman - for many years, but not any more n/t

[progmom]

62. I get told Jeanine Garofalo

I think it's the glasses and my caustic wit.

[Magrittes Pipe]

63. Not with my clothes on.

[terrya]

87. Don't let me guess...Jeff Stryker?

Rick "Humoungous" Donavan?

Am I getting close?

[Jessica]

64. Thora Birch ...

Some guy told me this in a bar - and I was like "Who the F?" She's that girl from American Beauty ... not bad I guess.



On edit: I've also been told I look like Lucy from Peanuts.

[StopTheMorans]

67. Jude Law

3 times in the past week (think it's b/c my hair is longer than it usually is).

[ScreamingMeemie]

68. That makes you the Sexiest Man Alive...or his lookalike anyway.

;) Not too shabby!

[Jessica]

70. Agreed. He is dead sexy. n/t

[StopTheMorans]

72. thanks (I think:)

I didn't even know that until yesterday (a new coworker who was just hired said "you look exactly like Jude Law; did you know that he's this year's sexiest man alive?"). I don't pay much attention to pop culture (didn't even know who Jude Law was until late August after someone told me I looked like him and I looked him up to see if it was a compliment or an insult:)

[SarahB]

71. I'd go with that.

You get my vote as cutest DUer in the Boston metropolitan area (that I know of anyway). :P

[StopTheMorans]

75. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

:loveya: thanks Sarah:)

[tavalon]

69. I'm not sure she was a celebrity exactly

except in porn video stores but in the eighties, Crystal Breeze and I were dead ringers. I wonder what she looks like now - if we've continued our "twins separated at birth" trend or not. I kid you not, I was having a hard time knowing it wasn't me on the screen. Finally, when we got to the crotch shots, her's looked a little different from mine. It was the freakiest thing. Sure, being told by someone else that you look like ________ is one thing, to see the absolute twin-ness for oneself, absolutely freaky.

[noonwitch]

73. Sarah Ferguson, ex-Dutchess of York

Except I have greenish hazel eyes.

[bif]

76. Christopher Walken--not sure how to take it.

Also Paul McCartney. Go figure.

[pagerbear]

77. I used to get Roger Ebert

In my heavier, clean-shaven days. We had similar glasses.

[bmbmd]

79. Dead ringer

for Sean Cassidy. Da do run run run, da do run run.

[short bus president]

80. Hrm. My nickname in college was

"Costanza."

Don't laugh! I had the shrinkage for 4 years!

[JVS]

81. I've been told that I sound like a celebrity

David Cross

[flamingyouth]

82. I was told in college I looked like Meg Ryan

But I think that was mostly because I was thin, blonde and had a tendency toward obsessive-compulsion (this was right when "When Harry Met Sally" came out). :D

[stupid grin]

83. Angelina Jolie

[Roon]

84. When I was heavy, had long hair, and younger

a lot of people said I looked like Meatloaf. Now they tell me I look like Tim Robbins.

[flvegan]

85. Johnny Bravo, the cartoon character

A year or two ago when I dyed my hair completely blond.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

86. Gil de Ferran (Indy 500 winner and CART champion) (nt)

[Carson]

88. Sandra Bullock---although I think the guy was just trying to score points.

My ex-husband, however, was a dead-ringer for Matt Damon.

[MessiahRp]

89. Unfortunately...

I get the "Rob looks like Michael Moore" comments all the time when I haven't cut my hair recently or shaved. I see the resemblence and as much as I admire the man for what he stands for, that is not the celebrity you want to look like when you're single and can't score a date. :)

Rp

[ChickMagic]

90. Yeah

But she couldn't remember the star's name. She said she plays hippie types. I have no idea. See me in the gallery and if you know who she meant, please fill me in!

[Maestro]

91. Michael J. Fox

I really don't think so but I have been told that more than anything else; especially in high school in the 80's.

[SOteric]

92. Liv Tyler. And I get that a lot.
