What Celebrity have you been told that you look like?
I always get Allison Hannigan, Gillian Anderson and Claire Danes.

I have to admit, it could be worse.

1. I was told once
That I reminded someone of Ferrish Bueller's hypochondriac friend. I don't know why. I'm not particularly tall or hypochondriacal-ish.

Really. Also the guy who plays Cesar in The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari.

I'm not sure either one is remotely true.

4. Goldie Hawn
since I was 17 or so. I'm talking 4 or more times a month, from cashiers to people in line w/ me to random strangers. When I hear the line "you know, you look like.." I am usually able to finish it for them. Every intimate acquaintance has said the same..... There are a few Meg Ryan references thrown in too (thank god not since her Plastic Surgery Fiasco).

I cut my hair short a few years ago, but I still get it.

5. I get Claire Danes all the time!
In fact that is the only person any one ever says I look like.

I have bigger lips and she is about 15 pounds lighter than me, she is like 115, 120 and I'm 135, but I am happy in my size six's and won't loose a pound.

I thinks she's prettier but my hubby disagrees, he likes the 15 pounds.

31. I got told a lot that I looked like John Lennon.
Especially when I parted my hair down the middle. Clair Danes,and Allison Hannigan are close to my ideal of beauty,but in my opinion Gillian Anderson looks nothing like those two. Redheads are so attractive to me.

Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 06:08 AM by GingerSnaps
I'm a girl and I have been told that I look like the late Marc Bolan by so many people that I started to think that I looked like a guy until I looked at some of his pictures from the glam rock days. I have a bigger chest then he had and dimples. I don't have the 5:00 o'clock shadow. But, I could pass for his twin sister from this picture alone.

I also have been told that I look like Jennifer Beals from the Frankenstein movie that has Sting in it.

49. Wow...
I always get Allison Hannigan, Gillian Anderson and Claire Danes.

If I were a young, single guy (which I most definitely am not), I would probably have a crush on you just from reading that. ;-)

In my case, about twenty years ago, people were saying I looked like Rob Reiner in his "All in the Family" days. Now, about the only thing we have in common is the bulk. :-( One person who watched an interview I included on one of my DVDs claimed I had a "Michael Moore schtick" going, so you can use your imagingations on that (but probably don't want to...).

50. How would you like to be told that you look like a guy and your a girl?
All of my life I have been told that I look like Marc Bolan by family members and people that i meet.

It gave me a complex and I thought that I looked like a man until I looked his pictures up on the Internet and I think that I am his long lost sister. :scared:

52. Several, mostly male (funny, that) rock stars, but
I seem to be one of those people that everyone KNOWS they know. I only know a few people who get asked if (or told that) they're so-and-s0 at anywhere near the level that it happens to me. Maybe I should get a T-shirt that reads "No, I just LOOK LIKE him."

Someof my alleged doppelgangers seem very nice, but at least a couple are apparently real scum -- this has resulted in two unhappy incidents for me with people who were total strangers to me but who thougfht they knew ME very, very well...and not in a good way.
