In reply to the discussion: Do you look like or resemble a celebrity? [View all]JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)50. I look like a guy you know from somewhere, or his brother.
Happens to me all the time.
"Hey, I know you?" ... or ... "Hey, do you have a brother named Bob?" Or ... "hey, are you Mary's husband?"
They never actually know me, I don't have a brother, and they never know my wife.
I'm a fairly generic looking white guy. About 6 foot tall, brown hair, somewhere between 30 and 50 (depending on how much sleep I've had).
Go to just about any mall in the United States and you'll pass a guy that looks just like me about every 50 feet or so.
The great part about this is that, just by changing my clothes, I look natural in almost any environment. And people almost immediately think they know me.
