...my dd looks a lot like Claudia Winkleman (without the tan), I told her but she wasn't very pleased. Does anyone else look like or want to look like anyone famous?

dd is the spitting image of cara delevigne to a point where she changed her profile pic on instagram to one of cara and no-one realised it wasn't a pic of dd.

i don't think i look like anyone famous but i have the same name as a hollywood actress

I used to look like the model Erin O'Connor. Now I look more like Tom O'Connor.

I've been told martine MacCutcheon ( used to play tiffany in ee) and lily Allen. Can't see it myself

I have been told I look 'just like' Cindy Crawford. And Celine Dion.

Righto.

Ds looks like Justin Beiber - which was pretty cool until JB went off the rails last year!

Well a few years back I was told by a male friend that I remind him of a female singer... but that night he couldn't place her name. A few days later he texted me to say he remember who it was.... Bonnie Raitt!!!

So when I saw him again, I said thanks, you have more than doubled my age, to which he then said, oh but you look more like Julienne Moore now..... Grin.

I was so not impressed

I was once told I looked like someone in a pop video. I watched it - either they meant male recording artist or a bikini clad model type. I am still not sure which...

But no, I don't have the kind of looks that would enable me to be famous so no famous people look like me.

I work in a special school and years ago when Shakespeare Sister was in the charts one of the younger classes got very excited at me being on tv Grin

There was definitely a big nose/ dark hair theme going on Hmm

Im not sure why Erin and Marcella were famous and I wasn't apart from I'm a short arse with no talent

Coco - she is married to the brother of a Bucks Fizz.

(You're welcome for this fab fact)

I was once in the student union bar with a friend who strongly believed that she was the image of Madonna when a male student came up and said "Do you know you look like someone famous?". She smiled and said that people had mentioned it before and possibly simpered a bit. Then he said "And I've just realised who it is .......Clint Eastwood". Very hard to keep a straight face.

I worked with Erins Aunt and she used to tell me I looked like her .
Which was great when Erin was off doing NY fashion week and I was changing nappies and wiping snotty noses Hmm.

DH's twitter pic is of a French actor (famous in France, unknown here) - no-one has noticed it's not him yet! I think it was his LinkedIn profile pic for a while...

nyldn · 28/07/2014 15:24

my DH almost regularly gets stopped in the street and told he looks like he could be David Duchovny's son.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/07/2014 15:29

DD1 often gets told that she looks like Emma Watson, Keira Knightley or Lana Del Ray - strangely she does manage to look a bit like all three of them!

I've been told I look like Audrey Hepburn (I wish!) and Moaning Myrtle, amongst others.

santamarianovella · 28/07/2014 15:38

An ex once told me I look like a young Monica bellucci, was very flattered Wink but I totally don't see it,
Dh looks like the actor josh Lucas , receding hair line and everything,even the voice, Grin,

chockbic · 28/07/2014 15:41

Probably Bella Emberg when I need to lose weight.

Hakluyt · 28/07/2014 15:44

My Dp looks like Archie from Balamory, Monty Don or Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, depending on the age of the observer. He has in the past spent entire flights and train journeys in an Archie persona. Small children were in awe.

roughtyping · 28/07/2014 15:49

DS always tells me I look like Billie Piper which I'm quite happy about!

My aunt and a lady I work with tell me I look like Holly Willoughby sadly not though, unless she's gained a few stone...

Greengardenpixie · 28/07/2014 15:49

I was told when i was young and very thin that i looked like julia Roberts
Some people have thought that i now look like Sandra Bullock.

MrsLettuce · 28/07/2014 15:55

From the age of about 15 I've regularly been told that I look like the Mona Lisa Hmm. Comments about a young Barbra Streisand have also been made.

I have a fringe these days, that helps.

nowitscleanugobshite · 28/07/2014 16:00

When 1D first made it "big" DS used to get followed around by girls who thought he was Harry styles-why on earth Harry would be wearing a school uniform on a school bus in NI I've no idea!! I was very sad as he hated the thought of it so much that he had his amazing hair cut very short!! His nana cried!!!

I was told I look like nana mouskouri. Sob!!!

LaCerbiatta · 28/07/2014 16:11

I've been told I look like Penelope Cruz several times. Don't really see it myself though....

I've got a colleague at work who is the spitting image of Hugh Grant, except a lot taller
