Never been mistaken for a famous person, but I've been told I look like the actress who played Zoe Slater in Eastenders, and also the one out of Twilight.

Most recently I've been said to look like Charles Manson (once), and Billy Connolly (several times). Not intentional in any way. Could be compared to worse I reckon. Used to be compared to U2's The Edge a lot in the early 2000's, when I was sporting a different look. Used to get compared to Nick Oliveri from Queens Of the Stone age a few years ago (shaved head, long thin beard). Actually met Nick before the day of their Slane appearance ('03?) in a bar in Temple Bar at the time, which was interesting!

Was stayin' in the Westbury the night AC/DC were playing in the O2. Late at night after the gig, my mates and I were drinking in the lounge. I was wearing an Angus Young getup, and the others in metaller type gear (we're in our thirties by the way), when a guy in a suit came up to our table and asked if we were AC/DC. I told him we were for the laugh, and I introduced him to Bon, Malcom & Cliff. He seriously bought it too, until we couldn't contain ourselves anymore. Very funny it was.

Lastly, there's a guy I work with who is the image of Rob Halford from Judas Priest.

And if that's before they actually see you - consider not singing...

Don't forget old Satan himself - you've even chosen one of his alternate monikers as your username.

I always get mistaken by tourists for the local guy that actually knows his way around and can tell them the way. No matter which city.

When I was younger and she was younger people said i looked like Keri Russell, I think it was all the scowling she did in felicity though.

metaoblivia

I've not been mistaken for her, persay, but a lot of people seem to think I look like Katie Holmes. Some people have done double takes ("omg, you look just like Katie Holmes!"), some have brought in magazines for me to look at ("That's Tom Cruise's wife - you look just like her!"), and a few of the extremely obnoxious have gone so far as to call me Katie.

I don't see it, but that could just be wishful thinking, because a lot of other people do.

Hans gruber, Eric cantona, Jimmy carr, Glen Quagmire, Rowen atkinson. Dustin diamond. Kiff croker. McLovin(i don't wear glasses though).......the list goes on.

I used to get Kelly Osbourne to the point where i started slapping people. I suppose thats one of the perils of having colourful hair :rolleyes:

At that point, they probably became even more convinced!

Never famous people, but always someone the person doing the recognizing supposedly knows. I was in Lush a while ago and someone that worked there ran up to me and practically screamed 'Don't change your hair, it's lovely the way it is!'. Pah. I need to meet these supposed twins of mine.

According to myheritage, 83% Heath Ledger, 80% Greta Garbo & Angelina Jolie, 70% a bunch of Asian people I don't know.
