Have you been told you look like a certain celebrity more than once? If so, who? And do you take it as a compliment or ...not so much?

Asked by MoneyMakingMommy (297points) March 31st, 2010

I get Renee Zellweger, Traylor Howard and Tatum O’Neal A LOT!
How about you?? Do you get any celeb look-a-like comments, if so – which celeb and do you agree that you look like them? Is it flattering, annoying, insignificant (or other) to you and why?

I’ve been told several times that I look like Deborah Winger, but I never really made that connection, personally.

Yes! I was told I was Roxettes double for years. When I was young and skinny. Then the older woman on Sex and the City..Kim? and for a while Sharon Stone, now I just look like me :) loll well I think I look like me, let me ask cytonic_horus if he is around

Nobody’s ever said that I look like any celebrity. I don’t think that anyone who looks like me would ever make it to celebrity status. I once tried one of those photo things on the internet where you upload a pic of yourself and it uses face analysis to find a celebrity that matches. It picked Gary Kasparov (the Russian chess player) as my closst match but it wasn’t really that close.

I’ve been told I look like one of the past American Idol contestants. I’ll have to look him up because I forgot his name. I’ll post it when I find him.

I get Jessica Biel a lot.
People always say, ”You look like that girl from 7th Heaven.
I had a picture on my Facebook profile of Jessica for doppelganger week and everyone thought it was me.
I also get Rhona Mitra and Missy Peregrym.
Oh and Sandra Bullock, but I don’t know whether or not to take that as a compliment.

Just_Justine's avatar

@Vunessuh oooooh nice Jessica Biel.. not so much Sandra Bullock agreed

@MoneyMakingMommy
That makes sense to me. She’s certainly my cup of tea.

cytonic_horus's avatar

@Just_Justine As I have seen photos of you over a period of time I can say that you have had spells where you have looked like Roxette and Sharon Stone and not just a passing resemblance either.

But yeah now you look like you which is a great way to look and shouldn’t be changed at all.

Me? I don’t think I look like anybody famous…or should that be nobody famous looks like me?

MacBean's avatar

Apparently my cheekbones and smile remind people of Annette Bening.

Just_Justine's avatar

@cytonic_horus you look like that guy from metal jacket? I don’t wanna look like me loll.

MoneyMakingMommy's avatar

@Vunessuh I think Sandra Bullock is drop dead gorgeous – I would take it as a compliment :-)

Just_Justine's avatar

Asked before by Jonsblond.
When I was younger, it was Dustin Hoffman. Middle years was Steven Speilberg, which is funny, since they are both quite short, and I am 6’2.
Now days? I don’t think anyone looks like me, but the Face Recognition site says John Lennon, Speilberg, and Freud.

My other half thinks I look like Will from Glee. I agree only in hair!

Cruiser's avatar

I get Dennis Quaid more than any other.

Pat Boone’s daughter.
LOL I never had a clue way.
I was very young and I think it was a dumb line.

A balder, fatter, whiter Barack Obama.

slightly more liberal as well

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

@Blondesjon If you had hair, you’d look just like Dan Dority from Deadwood.

Blondesjon's avatar

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities . . . Why? Just ‘cuz we both got mustaches!?! I suppose all of us motherfuckers with mustaches look alike to you.

Fuckin’ stachist!

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

@Blondesjon You’re just grumpy because I said you’re bald. Meet your mustachioed twin. :)

Blondesjon's avatar

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities . . . that dude is in everything.

ashxmy_lovee's avatar

Emma Watson, Kiera Knightley, and one other girl that I cannot think of.
I reallyyyy looked like Emma Watson when I was younger, that was not so much a compliment, as it was said in her younger “awkward years.”
I have never thought I look like Kiera Knightly, but apparently others do. That I take as a compliment.

SeventhSense's avatar

@chyna
Plus five for your impeccable taste….

SeventhSense's avatar

And of course our missing Jelly Tao San was a shoe in for Brian O’Halloran of Clerks..
or maybe those mustachioed gents all look the same to me…

chicadelplaya's avatar

Elizabeth Shue. Yeah, she’s pretty hot.

SeventhSense's avatar

I wouldn’t throw her out of bed for eating crackers…

Blondesjon's avatar

@SeventhSense . . . or not being alive.

SeventhSense's avatar

A dead Shue? I don’t know. Maybe too floppy.

Blondesjon's avatar

@SeventhSense . . . hell. for no longer than i’m rooting around in there it ain’t a real isue.

SeventhSense's avatar

LOL- “rooting” for her in her next Oscar bid of course…

Blondesjon's avatar

uh, is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Allie's avatar

I’ve gotten Selma Blair and Camilla Belle. Yes, I take them as compliments.

gailcalled's avatar

Vanessa Redgrave and Veronica Hamel. Nice.

chyna's avatar

@SeventhSense Taosan does look like that guy!

LeotCol's avatar

Actually once again tonight I’ve been told I look like Michael Cera. I suppose I’ll take it as a compliment as I’ve heard girls like him.

thriftymaid's avatar

Yes, Valerie Bertinelli— many times. I didn’t see it myself.

ucme's avatar

Jason Statham,more times than is tolerable.It has to be said however that I think not,but there you go.

erichw1504's avatar

I found him! His name is Kevin Covais and I think I look a little bit like him.

OpryLeigh's avatar

Hillary Swank. I’m not sure, sometimes she looks great and other times I’m not convinced!!!

My boyfriend told me that he was first attracted to me because he thought I had an “Angelina Jolie quality” about me. I know he’s bias but I definately take that as a compliment!

gailcalled's avatar

@Andrew: Shame for misspelling “definitely”.^^ Have you learned nothing?
