    Paul McGinley (?), the golfer.

    Had a taxi driver once that refused to believe I wasn't him.

    For instances at various times my 20s I was told I looked a bit like him and him

    Never been actually mistaken for anybody else.

    However, if I was to be cast in a film, I would be the unhinged rifle-wielding baddie sort that always gets killed in the end.

    Y'know the type....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Yeah, Boutros Boutros Galli

    andrea roche but she's old and im only 22 so i should probably be really insulted


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    I'm CONSTANTLY being told I look like James van Der Beek (Dawson from Dawson's Creek). I've had to sign autographs and all.
    During Movember when I had the tasche apparently I looked like Mat Damon in the Informant.
    Couple of times when I had the goatee I was told I looked like Leonardo DiCaprio (but that was only by drunk people).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭skyhighflyer


    Get 'Chris Evans' quite a bit.

    And during the Eurovision a couple of years ago got mistaken several times for Joseph McCall. Jesus I hated those few weeks. Anywhere I went people would literally wish me 'good luck in the Eurovision' in a non-ironic fashion.

    Kill me :(

    Ethan Hawke when I was younger. Lads used to enjoy ripping the piss.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    A guy in a club kept confusing me for one of the DJs who was playing that night... He kept coming back to me and asking random questions about producing music

    It was fun playing along for a while - poor guy was fairly mashed!:p

    Get the piss taken out of me on a regular basis for looking like one of the guys from JLS (Marvin I think)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 692 ✭✭✭gleep


    Came back from hols years ago a very caramel brown colour. Got into a taxi and yer man's jaw hit the floor, wasn't till I opened my mouth he realised i wasn't Henrik Larsson!!!

    I can't find a good enough pic of him. but I would be more inclined to go with that one alright.

    Steve Collins, but bigger.
