Do people say you look like a celeb?
 
Has anyone ever told you that you look like a celebrity? Which celebrity have people told you that you resemble?

When I had dark hair I occasionally got Halle Berry, though only from strangers (specifically eyes and smile, as the rest of her is so far superior as to negate comparison). But the only one that makes any sense to me is Bristol Palin pre-jaw surgery. She actually has a much skinnier nose than me and different colored eyes, but I get it. I remember going to vote during the last election and having five or six people comment on how I looked like that "Sarah Palin's daughter". I wasn't thrilled.

However I did discover a twin when playing the FB doppelganger game, she just isn't famous anywhere but Asia. Her name is Tata Young and she's a half Thai half American singer and in pictures where she is smiling I look so much like her that when I put up her picture as my "famous doppelganger" my dad didn't realize it wasn't me.

ETA: Can't find the picture that fooled my dad, but I would say this looks a whole lot like me:

Minus the obnoxiously red hair (I'm naturally blonde, I was going for a more Eastern Euro look)...and really somewhere between her Bridget Jones weight and her "normal" anorexic look.

KSUViolet06 06-08-2011 12:52 PM

I've been told I look like a younger Tyra Banks or Robin Givens, but I think that's only because of the whole "skinny black girl with large-ish forehead" thing. I don't see it.

NutBrnHair 06-08-2011 12:52 PM

Cindy Williams of "Laverne & Shirley" fame.

Depending on how I have my hair, I get "you look like Vanessa Hudgens".

I think she looks evil, though.

Leighton Meester,

though she's way prettier. We do have the same shape and size to our eyes, and the shape of her face is similar to mine, and my hair resembles hers in style and texture, mine is just a bit blonder.

WCsweet<3 06-08-2011 08:52 PM

Katie Holmes. I found this one for the fb doppelganger game. A few people thought it was me.

I have also heard Cameron Diaz, but I think that is because we both have really blue eyes.

I have the same super-prominent bone structure (esp. the chin/cheekbones), so I get Reese a lot.

MysticCat 06-08-2011 09:14 PM

When I was younger, and he was younger and not quite so crazy, I was occasionally told I looked like Charlie Sheen. I never saw it at all.

Showing my age here, but in junior high I frequently heard both that I looked like David W. Harper, aka Jim-Bob Walton:

or like Eric Scott, aka Ben Walton:

My hair was never as red as Ben's, though. But yes, people thought I looked like a Walton -- what kid in junior high wouldn't be proud. :o

Folks have only said I look like one celebrity. I laugh every time.

I think AF would have been a much better Bridget Jones than Renee.

lovespink88 06-08-2011 10:13 PM

I've gotten both Alexis Bledel and Jessica Alba. They don't look alike at all, lol

I see Alexis Bledel more...big forehead, small facial features...

victoriana 06-08-2011 10:36 PM

I have been told I look like Mary-Kate Olson, Ashley Tisdale, and Kirsten Dunst... I think if anything I look the closest to Kirsten. We have the same nose, cheekbones and mouth but my eyes are wider and my brows are more arched.

AGDee 06-08-2011 10:45 PM

When I was in high school, some said I resembled Valerie Bertinelli.

Thanks, sis!

ElieM 06-08-2011 11:29 PM

When I was blonde, I got Gwen Stefani

When I was "Espresso" I got Katy Perry

When I had short hair, I got Hayley Mills

*shrug*

Gusteau 06-09-2011 12:14 AM

I had a coworker who swore I looked like James Franco... I don't really see it.

Oh man, the crush I had on Valerie Bertinelli when I was in high school.

I knew you were (and are) cool.

thetaj 06-09-2011 12:27 AM

I get Amanda Bynes sometimes, but it's nothing striking

littleowl33 06-09-2011 02:19 AM

I've gotten Lindsay Lohan for years. When I was a kid my Mom swore I looked just like her in the Parent Trap and I've heard it off and on from strangers as we've both grown up. These days I'm not sure if it's a compliment or not, though! :p

Oh man, the possibilities if you'd known me in high school then... <sigh>

I have to admit, it was mainly my 2 year old cousin that I babysat who would see Valerie Bertinelli on TV and point and tell my aunt "DeeDee, DeeDee!"

My friend Lindsey looks like Lindsay Lohan (yes, she has the same name as her). A few times when she's introduced herself only using her first name, people have actually said, "Is it really YOU?"

I'm never told that I look like a celebrity. When I was younger, I'd sometimes get Carrie Fisher. Now, though, when I meet someone, A LOT of people turn to the person next to them and say, "Hey, doesn't she look like..." and follow it up with one of their friends or family members. I guess I have one of those faces. *shrug*

DSTRen13 06-09-2011 11:26 AM

When I was skinny, I sometimes got Claire Danes. I never did see it, though (especially now that I'm back to fat again, lol).

agzg 06-09-2011 11:43 AM

I can safely say that I can't recall ever being compared to a celeb, and I don't think I look like any of them.

Winner?

psusue 06-09-2011 12:34 PM

I got Avril Lavigne when I was in Brazil. However this was from kids who I doubt saw that many pictures of her. This was also when I was thinner and in my semi-punk stage and I sang, so that helped.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...10-16-2006.jpg

I think it's honestly just that we both have long straight brown hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. Our faces don't look much alike.

Also, I really like this thread because it gives me an idea of what everyone looks like without actually uploading pictures of ourselves.

Just think about it -- Barbara Cooper and one of the Walton boys. ;)

KSig RC 06-09-2011 01:34 PM

Wow, I didn't realize everybody was SO HOT!

goldendelta 06-09-2011 01:50 PM

Alyson Hannigan. I have dark brown hair though. The first year at my job I was called "Flute Girl" now I get, do you watch How I Met Your Mother?

PiKA2001 06-09-2011 01:56 PM

I've had people tell me that I looked like Uncle Kracker (in my early 20s)
http://blog.mlive.com/entertainment/...cker-smile.jpg

Now people say I look like Dave Matthews

I was, then at lunch I got compared to Leonardo DiCaprio but with a round face, or Tom Hanks with more hair, or a white Denzel Washington. I also have a hint of Elijah Wood in the neckline, they tell me.

No longer intimidated! Gosh!

I crushed on Ben until the Walton episode where he got married and treated his wife like he owned her. Grandma set him straight though (after she had her stroke).

Good Night MC!

I've only gotten a comparison to two celebrities and it was only a facial feature or my hair. Alicia Silverstone and Drew Barrymore when they were younger, and I was at the same age, since they are both older than I am it wasn't simultaneous. Alicia Silverstone and I have similar upper lips (wtf comparison by more than one boyfriend) and smiles, and supposedly my nose is shaped like Drew's. The comparisons depended more on what hair color they were sporting, as I've always been blonde or reddish blonde.

tld221 06-09-2011 08:52 PM

I've got no doppleganger. I've heard Sherri Shepard once. Meh.

Ant - LMAO @ McLovin. I just watched Superbad last week.
