They say I look like Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica.

lmao. I did not see this question when I just asked the one I did.

I’ve been told I look like a young Sissy Spacek and a few have said I look like Anna Kournikova.

Jude's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir I think that you’re a spitting image of Mia Wasikowska. She’s beautiful.

I’ve been told Neve Campbell. I have had a few say Kate Beckinsale (lol, I don’t see it, but, I’ll take it).

chyna's avatar

@jonsblond You do look like a young Sissy Spacek! I’ve always thought that. And now, some random lady in a Dr. office thinks you look like Jennifer Anniston!

Facade's avatar

Today, one of my new coworkers told me I looked like Rochelle Aytes. I don’t see it at all, but dammit if I didn’t take the compliment! She’s very gorgeous!

jonsblond's avatar

@chyna She probably doesn’t know who Sissy Spacek is. ;)

Facade's avatar

@Jude Spot on with @Simone_De_Beauvoir‘s look-a-like! I can see you as Kate Beckingsale too =)

chyna's avatar

@Facade I’m seeing it too.

Facade's avatar

Really? How??

chyna's avatar

@facade Hair and smile.

Facade's avatar

Interesting…

Jude's avatar

@Facade I remember watching Alice and Wonderland, and I said to my g/f (when seeing Alice), “That’s Simone!”..

When I walk into a bar, I look like Joe the Plumber.

Wehn i wlak uot u da bra, i luk lyke thuh Debil.

cookieman's avatar

I’m a cross between Jackie Gleason and Kevin James.

Jude's avatar

What about you, @josie?

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

I get Fiona Apple a lot. I can kind of see it.

marinelife's avatar

In junior high, I was told I resembled Ray Davies of The Kinks. (I don’t think that I do.)

@Facade Today, one of my new coworkers told me I looked like Rochelle Aytes. I don’t see it at all, but dammit if I didn’t take the compliment! She’s very gorgeous!

Your smile & hair, yeah, I can see that.

Me? Bruce Springsteen when I had hair (on a really good day!) Now Anthony Edwards.

And you, Josie?

Where’s Jeruba? I think she looks like Cate Blanchett!

filmfann's avatar

When I was younger, people said I looked like Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hayden and Steven Speilberg.

King_Pariah's avatar

My mom’s friends (who are all korean… except for one or two) and my mom have stated I look like the white ish version of Daniel Oh.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@Jude @Facade I really don’t see how I look like her but interesting. @Facade I don’t think you look like that person they said you look like either.

Jude's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Look here. That’s you.

josie's avatar

@Jude
@jaytkay
When I was a kid, people said Paul McCartney
Now, nobody.

jonsblond's avatar

This was one of my first Fluther questions. @Judi posted a link to a site that matches your picture with celebrities. Here is the link It’s kind of fun!

Facade's avatar

@jaytkay Funny, my hair actually looks like this. Very far from her loose curls, but I guess the way I style it sometimes is similar
@Simone_De_Beauvoir Yea man, I don’t get it… But you do resemble that girl :P

gailcalled's avatar

Milo here; The MGM lion was modeled after me.

woodcutter's avatar

Not at all. I look like everyone else going by how many times I get “Oh I thought you were so and so. You look like him.” Call me Mr. Generic face.

Coloma's avatar

I’ve been told I resemble Joni Mitchell, Juice Newton and Janis Joplin…gotta be my bohemian gypsy side shining through. lol

The Janis Joplin thing took me by surprise, I was at a fund raising dinner last year, was wearing a batiked skirt, velvet jacket, lacy black tank underneath, boots, and had my hair in pigtails with beads. I had a younger guy in his 20’s approach me while we were making the rounds of the wine tasting tables and tell me that he thought I was very attractive and reminded him of Janis Joplin. I was flattered! :-D

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

The comments have varied over the years. Princess Di, Hillary Clinton, and some famous newscaster I wasn’t familiar with. I just uploaded a photo as my avatar. I’m open to comments.

jonsblond's avatar

@Pied_Pfeffer I know the newscaster but I can’t think of her name. I can picture her though. This is going to bug me all night now. I won’t be able to sleep! lol

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@Jude Maybe a bit better in that pic, the resemblance. But seriously check out Starbuck.

Jude's avatar

Haha, I did the Heritage face thing that @jonsblond posted and I kept getting a Japanese woman named Nakashima Mika, Michelle Williams, Keira Knightly, one time Kate Beckinsale and one time Penelope Cruz! There was a question about which celebrity that you would like to sleep with. I picked Penelope Cruz. I gotta date with my two digits.

jaytkay's avatar

@Facade Funny, my hair actually looks like this. Very far from her loose curls

Well, as an Anthony Edwards look-alike, maybe hair-recognition is not my strong suit.

Coloma's avatar

@Pied_Pfeffer

Hmmm…nice photo, gosh, you do remind me of someone, but, not making the association with who you have posted. Hilary…nah, but, but, she is an actress, the name is not coming to me. Maybe a hint of Susan Sarandon? :-)

Coloma's avatar

@jaytkay

Where’s the giant fish?

You look like you should be holding a 40 lb. Salmon by it’s gills. lolol

sleepdoc's avatar

I got him as my Av

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

@jonsblond It was about eight years ago, and back when the hair was about shoulder length and heavily highlighted. It wasn’t Ms. Banfield. Sorry friend. I didn’t mean to make you get you thinking about it. It’s annoying when that happens.

@Coloma Thank you for both compliments.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Oh my word! When I looked at the images, I could see the resemblance in all four, especially #2. It is the spitting image of you. And then I saw the tags. No wonder. :)

Jude's avatar

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I don’t think that you look like any of them. You’re still pretty, though. :)

Cruiser's avatar

I get confused with Bumble Bee from Transormers all the time and get VIP parking everywhere I go!

tranquilsea's avatar

That’s me and I’m pretty sure I just look like….me :-)

Joker94's avatar

I’ve been told by a few people that I look a bit like Michael Buble, and a couple people tell me that I resemble John Lennon, though I don’t really see it.

jonsblond's avatar

@Pied_Pfeffer I think you and Ms. Banfield look like two beautiful sisters. That’s all I have to say. =)

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir After looking up Starbuck, I can definitely see why people would say that.

@jonsblond A young Sissy Spacek, yes. Even more so Anna Kournikova because you both have a very nice, warm smile.

_zen_'s avatar

Chewbacca.

tranquilsea's avatar

@zen he was my favourite character!

ddude1116's avatar

I like to think I look like Jim Morrison, but I’m pretty sure it’s just because of my hair.

FluffyChicken's avatar

I’ve been told Mary Pickford and also Drew Baryore. I don’t see the Drew Barrymore at all, but I can see Mary Pickford. Especially in this picture. When I’ve had my hair dyed unnatural colors, I’ve gotten Kate Winslet a few times, but I think that was only because of the hair color

I feel more like Kathy Bates

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

Someone said I look a little like that Japanese-American guy on “Mythbusters”. Actually, my brother looks more like him than I do. He can’t be that famous, because I don’t remember his name. Does anybody know?

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

@MRSHINYSHOES Could they mean Grant Imahara? Maybe in the smile.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

@Pied_Pfeffer Yeah, that’s the guy. He’s Japanese, and I’m half Japanese, but that’s where the similarity ends. Looks like my brother instead, not me! Lol. Thanks.

MacBatman31's avatar

I’ve been told that I look like Michael Buble`. I have also gotten Batman, guess someone saw me hopping from building to building one night.

ucme's avatar

This has been asked so many times that I have a default answer.
Too many people have frequently said I look like Jason Statham, even the kids.
Of course, I believe i’m far better looking ;¬}

chyna's avatar

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies I think you look like that guy on the Men’s Warehouse commercials. He’s good looking IMO.

Seelix's avatar

When the movie “The Mask” first came out, I got Cameron Diaz a lot because of my wide smile (see here). I don’t think I look like anybody, though that photo recognition thing says I look like Janeane Garofalo, Nana Mouskouri or James Garner :S

rebbel's avatar

Madeleine Albright.

martianspringtime's avatar

Some kind person once told me that I reminded them of Jenny Lewis, but I think it was just because of my hair and outfit. I could only dream of looking like her! Or Christina Hendricks; what I wouldn’t do to resemble Christina Hendricks in even the slightest way…
