Totally off topic, I've been meaning to post something to this effect since that episode of Green Wing. Who are the best and worst famous people you've ever been compared to..
I got the best worst compliment ever last night...
Standing by the bar, waiting for the band to come on, making small talk with Girl1, Girl2 says...
'Doesn't he look like Superman...'
Pause just long enough to think 'Well, I do wear glasses' and she follows up with....
'You know, the wheelchair one?'
Cheers for that love :)...
Best, purely for it's surrealism, has got to be the time I was heckled with 'OI! ELVIS!'
(That'd be the lesser known long hair eighties student throwback era Elvis...)
"I like spending time with you David. I feel less ashamed of the things I do in comparison."
Best: Robin Williams
Worst: Bono, Tom Hanks
Best : Spud from Trainspotting (because of my accent)
Worst : Spud from Trainspotting (because I look like him)
This is on two separate occasions mind.
Best: Luke Goss
Worst: Aretha Franklin.
Best: Stephen Fry (it's the hair and the nose)
Worst: Lemmy Kilminster (it's the... general ugliness, possibly?)
Best: Pete Tong.
Worst: Grizzly Adams.
Best: Nick Drake
Worst: Wally, of "Where's Wally" fame.
"Grizzly Adams"
That's not really helping to shake my mental picture...
Best: Christian Slater/Keanu Reeves
Worst: Chris Moyles
Best: Tim Roth
Worst: Casper the friendly ghost
best(school days): The guy in "Boy meet world"s older brother.
worst(ten years later): Chief Chirpa/julian clary
-hex
Best & Worst: Curly ( Three stooges.) when I had a blade one or two shaven head.
I've been told I look like alot of the famous folk in sport, music and movies.
Though it's even stranger that they look nothing like each other.
I think I might have been lied to.

worst(ten years later): Chief Chirpa/julian clary
HAH!
Chirpa and Clary, often mistaken for one another (I wish I'd encoraged people to post pics now...)
To clarify:
Chirpa with beard, Clary sans beard.
What a lucky guy!

Best: Viggo Mortenson, Tom Cruise
Worst: Tim Vincent, that bloke who played Marcus in ElDorado, Ukko
A man once sat down beside me on the corporation bus going to Dennistoun , Glasgow and insisted that I was Derek Hatton, former deputy mayor of Liverpool. The fact that I am not, don't look anything like him, am 20 years younger and am not Scouse didn't dissuade him at all. What he though Derek Hatton was doing on a number 36 is beyond me.
NOT me...
I'm not sure if *any* of mine can be classed as good, tbh. The most recent likening to was by a woman on the till in Sainsbury's who thought I look like "a young Ozzy Osbourne". :s
Other people I've been told I supposedly look like are:
Eric Martin from Mr Big
Miles Hunt from The Wonder Stuff
Alan Alda (according to DXB)
Emo Phillips
But the *worst* has got to be Shaun Ryder.
Best: utter cunt
Worst: Sid Vicious
best - Tom Hanks
worst - Plug from the Bash St kids
maybe that should be the other way round
Did I say Alan Alda? I definatley said Snoop Dogg once. And in the final moments of 'Parting of the ways' I was heard to say "Blimey! Wils is The Doctor!"
Spiderwoman thought I looked like Daniel Bedingfield, others have seen my original art from Bec and Kawl and thought Kawl was me. My nephew thinks I could be a Raxacoricofallopatorian in disguise. I love the fact that he learnt how to say that word just to insult me.
Snoop Dogg?! Thanks a bunch! ;)
Declan Curry, the financial blokie from BBC Breakfast always reminds me of you, btw.
Best: Kiefer Sutherland.
Worst: Loz from Mega City 4.
That would be Wiz from Mega City 4.
Best: Russell Crowe
Worst: Spudgun from "Bottom"
Best, worst? Not really sure, you tell me.
1. Hugh Grant. By clueless american fratboy. "Chicks must really dig your accent". "Well it's not that special in England".
2. Matthew Broderick. By by newly gained chinese extended family members while at brother-in-law's Hong Kong wedding.
Hmmmm... well the best (i hope was) Christian Bale
the other was Johnny Depp which was weird!!!
Best: Johnny Depp
Worst: Alex on some previous series of Big Brother that had Jade Goody in it.
