I have just seen the politician Chris Williamson on TV he just looks like Voldermort IMO.

Do you or your family resemble anyone ?

In the 70’s and 80’s I was told by so many people that I looked like Julia McKenzie (from Fresh Fields and Maggie & her), then in the late 80’s & 90’s it was Princess Diana ?

DH was mistaken for Alex Ferguson when we were staying at a hotel in Yorkshire, a fellow diner sent a drink over after we finished the meal. We thought it was a great joke and told DS about it, he said he was not surprised and showed us a newspaper photograph of Alex and his wife and on that particular day it did look like us.

My dad's youngest sister in my teens and twenties, apparently. In my thirties it was Xena Warrior Princess, and I have now matured into Dawn French . Oh to be 30 something again hahaha.

When I look in the mirror after a shower and my hairs wet and flat, I always say hello to my Dad.

Hopefully no-one, because I'd hate to think of some other poor sod being saddled with a face (or body) like mine!

According to the couple who argued over whether to approach me before they braved it - Jane MacDonald ! ,

used to get told I looked like Sally Field when I was younger.

No one famous, but when I was younger I was constantly told that I looked just like 'someone' they knew. I felt like I must be very common. I did not know her well as she died when I was little, but now in my 60's I look just like my paternal granny.

I look like Marilyn Monroe.
Oh yes I do.
I do I tell you.
No I won’t go and look in a mirror.
Stop laughing, this is not funny.

I was told regularly ( a long long time ago) that I looked like Leo Sayer, and sometimes like Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy.
It was the hair smile

I was once approached and asked if I was SNP politician Margo MacDonald!
One of my son’s friends always says I look like Wendy James ( singer in a band called Transvision Vamp, apparently), but I’m sure he meant Wendy Richard!

I look a lot like Prue Leith. My sister is nearly the double of Pam Shriver.

Namsnanny Thu 04-Jul-19 14:42:30

I my youth I was often told I looked like Mary Joplin then later on the blond one from ABBA.
Now I look like a cross between worzel gummedge and queen victoria.....and that’s on a good day!!??☹️

Before my hair went grey people mistook me for Patsy Kensit, which was very flattering! Hasn't happened since graydom smile

50 years ago DH was often told he looked like Steve McQueen or James Coburn - lucky me.

Ailsa43 Fri 05-Jul-19 22:04:03
