He did a very hot silver fox photoshoot a couple years ago and I had to revisit my priors on him which were based on The Big Chill. Then I went back and looked at stills from the movie and my bias was that I was 16 when that movie came out!
Somebody else. Seriously. I can go almost anywhere in the world, and someone will swear they know me from somewhere. It was a tad disconcerting once when I heard it from a cop. I'd like to meet my doppelganger someday and see WTH they've been doing all my life.
Hi. Here's who I thought of. Sorry I hope you don't mind- my favorite radio show host always says don't ever compare someone to a celebrity because unless it's Brad Pitt you're gonna be disappointed but oh well
I always used to get Matthew Broderick (never Ferris; always "War Games". Grrr.)
A friend once suggested Tom Hulce as Amadeus, which I treasure.
About 6 months ago, a stranger said I looked like an actor I really like; it made me so happy that I promptly forgot who she said and still can't remember.
🎶I look like Jesus, so they say
But Mr. Jesus is very far away
Now you're the only one here
Who can tell me if it's true
That you love me
And I love
Me🎶 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqOSPm2UdRs
I got Sophia Loren as a young teenager from a beloved great aunt who smelled of Cinnabar, and Yasmine Bleeth in my 20's during her Baywatch era from a guy at work who dedicated his first fantasy hero book to me. Honestly it was the brown hair and olive complexion.
When I lived in Minneapolis, people would say Marisa Tomei, but I don't look like her—they just meant, "You look like a New Yorker of some non-Nordic ethnicity," which is accurate.
No one tells me that I look like anyone so I did a google search. Every pic of myself I load into google reverse image search just comes up with spectacles (admittedly all gorgeous styles). I guess I chose my profile name well.
I don't look like anyone famous, but I apparently look so much like a guy that graduated the year before me in HS that, 35 years later, people still stop me on the street thinking I'm him.
I've never met him face-to-face, so I don't know. But mutual friends both think we're separated-at-birth.
Also this entire time I thought you meant the YA author that no one knows the looks of (I'm sure there's a better way to say that, ha!). And you mean the captain. Omg. Someone come for my nerd cred.
Ok that is legit brill (and how the HELL did that not occur to me???). Up until now I assumed it was a) inability to hear even my most minor critique (which, admittedly, I didn't need to tag him in), b) that he didn't actually read everything that I wrote, or c) bsky weirdness. I like yours best. 😍
The only comparison I've ever had was someone said Casey Affleck which I don't agree with but I also see a fucked up Picasso face when I look in the mirror so who am I to judge.
I looked like Mr. Mulholland's (a grade school teacher) son. So much so that his girlfriend got very angry at me for not recognizing her once in public
I have been told, at various times and by different people: Dave Grohl, Seth Green, William Fichtner, and Ben Stiller. If those sound wildly dissimilar it's because none are remotely accurate lol
In my youth I was told I looked like John Lennon (I had the right glasses), in my late 40s someone said Jerry Springer (who I thought was a twat). I took off my glasses about 10 years ago and a woman said "Bruce Willis". I never put my glasses back on. That Carly Simon song, she wrote it for me.
I have genuinely been mistaken for Ed Sheeran on several occasions which is distressing because I don’t like his music and I’m much better looking (in my humble opinion) x
Nick Faldo, John Leslie and Ben Affleck… when I was 16(!!!), 25 and 30.
No new doppelgängers for the past 22 years, and given the previous ones, I’m happy to leave it as ‘winner stays on’!
Although she wasn't famous her parents were. I was told when I was young I looked like Jill Ireland/Charles Bronson's eldest daughter. Wish I had her money instead, but I'll take whatever I can get.
I have one friend who says I look like Ava Gardener. I do not. I absolutely know this. But it's also the best compliment and I'll keep it tucked away in my brain for life.
I get asked for directions all the time. I must look like I know where I'm going (I don't). And I'm often asked to get items down from the top shelves in grocery stores for those more vertically challenged among us.
Well, I think Matteo Simoni is doing a hell of a job in playing and a character inspired by me (thanks Jeroen Olyslaeghers) and a local legand called Dennis black magic I got compared with, while John Snow truly looks like young me (thanks George, miss the RP) but lately it's Reeves appearantly
I used to get Steven Segal when I was younger. It's gotten less complimentary as we've both gotten older. I also get John Goodman sometimes, which I always take with pride. The man is a treasure.

In my 30s and 40s? Andie MacDowell
Now? 🤷🏻♀️

She’s just a pet now.

More seriously, Marshall Crenshaw/Elvis Costello (when I was younger), Bernard Hill (as Theoden from LOTR) now

(Photo of me is a few years old.)
They said I look like a young Theodore Roosevelt. 😭
Maybe this is a compliment?! 😂
I've never met him face-to-face, so I don't know. But mutual friends both think we're separated-at-birth.
As far as I know, he's a real person, different name and all....
Minus the salary and with more body, sadly. 🤣
honestly one of the best compliments i could have received
It's a short story
"You look just like..."
"I know, I know, The Gray Gay. Sure, I'll take a selfie." *eyeroll*
The woman at the front desk saw me walk in, her eyes went wide, and she stammered a bit, thinking I was Adrian Paul.
Wish I'd known who that was.
I could have just ran with this!
The person, not your response.
It keeps the suit from riding up.
She could do worse 😉

Strangers often talk to me, no idea why. Possibly I look very non-threatening or something.
Otherwise I look like my dad.
I do not look like Krysten Ritter.
Sadly.
