Have you ever been mistaken for a famous person?
Do you know anyone who has been mistaken, even for a second, for a celebrity?

I get a young Kevin Bacon or Guy Pearce in equal measures quite regularly. I don't know who the first one is. I kind of resent it because I don't eat meat.

Toby from Human Nature, was/is my hash name (a drinking game) at uni! Based on me looking like him... That was meant to be offensive!

Not really a celebrity.... but for a period of time I was repeatedly mistaken for Travis off Big Brother!!!!

People could tell instantly I was quite offended... I didn't even watch the show - so had only seen bits and pieces.

It became such a joke - one of my 'friends' made this;

A lot of people in London always ask me if I am famous, then as soon as they hear my accent they presume Neighbours or Home and Away

Reminds me of going to UQ when I was a young lad fresh out of high school. There was this one City Cat operator who was the spitting image of Phil Collins, but a lot younger and much more muscly. Not only that but he, like every crew member on board, used a headset to communicate with other crew members, which just completed the Phil Collins impersonation. We would always taunt the shit out of him.

Oh it's soooo not offensive andrewc - Toby is dreamy!! I've had a crush on him since High School! So based on you being his twin, can I interest you in a drink?? haha :D

I've been told that I look like Bronson from Around the Twist. You can imagine I'm never impressed when I hear it...

I get Michael Pitt sometimes. But moreso when my hair was longer.

Yes I mocked offense at the time, I had only just started opening the closet door at the time so couldn't revel in it! Plus I think had more to with the hairstyle and clothes I was wearing on the day they coined it! More than actually looking like him!

I was excited once when someone said I looked like Justin Timberlake... but they were 12!!! And I was only 20... much prettier then!

When I was living in Melbourne and had my Dreads some random girls started screaming and running at me because they thought I was Adam from "counting crows"
http://www.geocities.com/westhollywood/heights/2498/adam.jpg

It was really full on because they ran across traffic in the middle of the CBD and were almost hit by cars. Bizarro

I've been told I look like the young Jack Nicholson, Bill Clinton, Michael Shumacker (ewww!), Marilyn Monroe and Jesus Christ (when I had long hair). So I guess resemblence is purely in the eye of the beholder!

I think Christian looks a cross between Jude Law & Christian Bale (but with stubble).

I think dreadcircus looks a cross between Uma Thurman & Gwenyth Paltrow (but with glasses and a guitar).

I think Tim D looks like one of the Jonas brothers. The cute one.:)
