    Once upon a time I would have been described as the lovechild of Zinedine Zidane and Pete Sampras. Now that the hair is gone I’m sure I’m leaning more to the former on that spectrum. A problem has arisen in recent years though as apparently there’s a new participant on the spectrum, some bloke from Practical Jokers (i think is the show, don’t know his name) although MrsTeal assures me I’m much better looking - I’m fairly sure she has to say that.

    Well I'm not as muscular as I used to be but even when I was I really didn't see the Brock resemblance.

    When I lost the weight I was told I looked like Steve Collins (the boxer), this I could defo see.

    I must have an awful battered up looking face lol

    There are some similarities I share with Drew Barrymore but with very almondy eyes. It is what it is.

    These threads are always dominated by the likes of oh i was told I look like Gisele I don’t see it myself tehe. Yeah sure hun

    If that's as close as we're going to get to Gisele Bundchen's looks then don't begrudge us :p

    Peter Ebdon the snooker player looks a bit like me after a savage rake of pints and a beating.

    The wife walked into the kitchen once, and we not but walking out with each other a wet week, and I lifted my head over the newspaper to look at her, and she quipped 'You look like Cromwell there!" (we had a big, eh, "discussion" about the civil war the night before). Ah, the romance of courting days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,291 ✭✭✭lbc2019


    I was told the dead actor and sometimes David Mitchell

    Chris O'Donnell of NCIS LA fame.

    Don't really see it myself too much other than the hair and facial stubble....and of late the double chin. ie. I've put on weight and developed a double shin at the same pace and time as him on NCIS LA. Hence why I'm in the process of losing it. Lost a stone in 20 non consecutive days fasting last year and am about to climb back on that horse to lose another....ahem...cough....40LB :D Hit 45 this year and plan to get into the best shape of my life at least once in my life. Its amazing how hitting middle age lights a fire under your ass!! sh1t!! Time really is running out!! :D

    Lol I’ve also been told I look like him, similar on the weight also!

    There was a period in my life where I got told I looked like Katie Holmes weekly. My mom thinks I look like Natalie Wood. I don't think I look like anyone in particular.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,487 ✭✭✭✭Alun


    Apparently I'm the spitting image of some guy on one of the Discovery type channels who hosts one of these "extreme" fishing programs. Had a group of Dutch tourists in a pub in Glendalough once insist on taking a photo of me and them together to send to their friends back home. Weird.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,305 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    Did you shave the beard off?

    Well, most famous women are attractive so it's kind of hard to be compared to an unattractive famous woman. And most people base that comparison on one feature (for me, it's dark hair & dark eyes), so it doesn't tend to be completely accurate.

    Why in the name of God would that produce a frowny face?

    I've been told Paul Rankin, Kyle Maclachlan and the guy who played one of The Sullivans (think it was Terry).

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,688 ✭✭✭storker


    Nobody else has said it, but I think I look a bit like Boris Lee Krutonog. A (not particularly famous) Russian actor who had small parts in The Hunt for Red October and 13 Days. Well, I did when I was thin...

    In the right lighting I am the absolute spit out of Angelina Jolie in Mr and Mrs Smith. In particular the scene where she’s kicking the shlt out of Brad. Only in the right lighting however. It really is a sight to behold.

    Great way to out all the boardsies with the devils curly hair op :)
