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

Anyone on SameSame look like someone famous?

TracyGrimshaw maybe...

I get Nick Darcy a hell of a lot. Especially when my hair is a bit longer. Thankfully I'm getting it cut this weekend.

I have gotten Britney Spears but honestly can't see it.. and always get Uma Thurman.

When I was 14 I was told I looked like actor Fred Savage from The Wonder Years.

Sometimes get told Ed Norton

People tell me I look like Peter Griffin from The Family Guy.

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.

The Elephant Man.

lol nah, I don't look like a celebrity so never have been mistaken for one.

Has anybody been mistaken for a celebrity and got offended?

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!

A guy at the Saba store in Sydney Central Plaza looks like Toby too, he even had an eyebrow piercing, haha.

iv been told that if i wore a trenchcoat id look like Rick Asley

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;

i always get Matthew Stokes who plays footy for Geelong

People think I resemble Free Willy.....

A lot of people think I look like Missy Elliott

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

Ahahah! Unfortunately not!

Jade I see the Uma Thurman in you!

(the late) Princess Diana.

Meh... a young Phil Collins more than one.

Not really sure how to take it.

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.

My dad looked like Jack Nicholson....

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

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!

In supermarkets, I usually get approached by old men, who mistake me for Jon Benet Ramsey.
