I have no doubles apparently. However friend of mine, Tom, would forever be mistaken for another friend of mine Michael, they were uncannily alike.

They were twins though, right enough.

No celebs, but I'm constantly mistaken for my sister. Constantly. It's at the stage that when people shout her name at me I respond to it.

A woman stopped her car in the middle of the street the other day, rolled down her window and screamed across to me "Do you want a lift <insert sister's name here>?". I said "huh?", and she started screaming at me about a lift again while cars queued up behind her. I just shouted "no I'm grand thanks!". Never seen her before in my life, but was mighty tempted to take the lift anyway and see how long I could get away with it.

You sister now has the rep of being stand-offish. Cool :-)

After posting pics in the Know Your Nerds thread a boardsie pm'ed me asking if I was his mate Suzie, said I was the spit of her. To be fair, he sent me her pic and we do look alike.

I was mis taken once, but they eventually returned me after a massive hunt involving the police.

Chips Ahoy

One day when i was in school i was walking innocently down the corridor minding my own business, when BANG! three books smashed right across the face.

Turned around, see a girl who i don't know, she looks in horror as she's just destroyed randomer's face. She had mistaken me for someone else in the school (must have been my my hair cut)

Moral of the story is never get a hair cut.

It's happened to me loads of times that people say that I look like Joe Duffy.

Mr. CooL ICE

Never mistaken for anybody, but I did annoy a guy that looked vaguely like Kenny Egan and got a picture with him. Poor guy just wanted to drink his pint in peace.

seth rogen, somewhat randomly, once

LETHAL LADY

Never anyone famous but I was once mistaken for a prostitute by the security in a hotel when I tried to get back in after a night out in Sir Henrys in Cork. To be fair to security I was fairly dishevelled looking after hours of repetitive dance moves no offence meant to any ladies of the night out there.

Mr.Crinklewood

Russell Howard.
