I don't easily get upset but.......form the side somebody described me as looking like Alan Carr!!!! went home and sulked for the rest of the day!
Also have been told I look like Austin Powers!! and one of the Platts from Cornation Street, the one who became a nurse....whats his name?
I am now saving up for plastic surgery and being male and single I'm also thinking of a boob job as it's the only way these days I will be able to get my hands on a pair of knockers!

Mark Calaway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Undertaker) and Bill Bailey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Bailey). I'm also told I do a great Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin) profile.

Could possibly play Klingon extra? :D

That irish bloke who played bullseye in the daredevil movie. By a girl who followed me around forbidden planet, while the movie was on release, asking me if i was him. Wouldnt take no for an answer. I may have been dressed somewhat similarly to the character, but i doubt the actor ever goes about dressed like that. That would be like finding one of those blokes dressed as darth vader giving out leaflets in the street, and finding out it was dave prowse.
Also various people from largely german industrial bands, none of whom ive ever heard of.
And, bizarrely, a bbc newsreader. A *black* bbc newsreader.

Popular with the ladies?  :)

Winky winky ;-)

I'll keep taking the ugly tablets then :'( I suppose as I get older I will have no looks to lose!  :D I might even improve?! nah.......

My wife tells me that men only improve with age, and that the flaws we obsess about only make us more attractive. Though frankly, i think that's a cover to excuse her borderline necrophiliac cravings concerning the now very dead vincent price.
SBT

I thought the ladies did not like men who hogged the mirror more than they do! Too much of a generalisation?

Do you think she would like a dead look alike Alan Carr?  :lol:

I remember a kid at school spotting me and saying to his mate (really loudly) "He looks like Dan Aykroyd."

I wasn't even sure who they were talking about. (I'd heard of the name. And I'd seen Ghostbusters, but I didn't put the name to the face then.) I know who they mean now, and... I really don't think I look much like him at all. We've both got quite fat faces and receding hairlines, but that's about it. And bear in mind I was around 17/18 at the time.

Dr. Egon Spengler

Someone, who must have been blind, once told me I look like Ricky Gervais.

My cousins six year old son said to me "Don't take this the wrong way but you look like.......James Bond." I have no idea why he said this.

The other day, one of my pupils told me I looked like Jai McDowall. I had no idea who that was and had to look him up for the sake of vanity (he won Britain's Got Talent.) In the past, kids have also compared me to Tom Green and Brendan Fraser. And once the Terminator, because I was wearing a leather jacket.

The missus forbade me to wear sun glasses when I first started seeing her,  She said I bore a resemblance to him.  At the time she fancied him big time.
Cant see it myself, my looks are far superior to him and I am a lot taller.

Midge Ure, circa the "Vienna" days. Better than being compared to Geldof, I suppose.

That can't be right- because when I met you for the first time, I didn't get a compulsion to punch you repeatedly in the face until my knuckles broke.  ;)

Thats a very ........erm different Terminator Greg

Good: Kiefer Sutherland.

Bad: Wiz from Mega City 4 (the indie group, not the city).

I personally think I look like me dad.

But does he look like anyone famous?

had a guy pierce when i was younger and a david furnish from mike gloady  on this very board (well i did liken him to david gest so fair nuff)

My dad used to resemble Bruce Forsyth when they were both younger.

So since you look like your dad....do you have the brucie chin? :D

Not as long, but I do have chinnage.

When I'm going to the gym: Russell Crowe.
When I'm not: John Goodman.

Johnny Depp, Dave Grohl, Colin Farrell (according to one friend), Thom Yorke (when I had my hair bleached) and Hitler (according to a badly behaved class of Year Eights, but that was a really good haircut; however, I did tell the woman she left the fringe too long).

Hitler was probably down to your attitude...as seen by kids...mind you....

I did think Logan had something of Russell Crowe about him, when I met him at the last Southern Contingent meet. And CF reminds me of someone, but I can't for the life of me think who it is. I'd better watch some more Crimewatch!   :D

No, it was the fringe. They never got the measure of my attitude. I came into a class of screaming kids who hadn't had a music class in four weeks since their teacher quit saying she couldn't stand it any more, and an hour later the bell went and I sent a class full of screaming kids running out into the school grounds.

Anyway... (alleged) lookalikes?

QuoteAnd CF reminds me of someone, but I can't for the life of me think who it is.

What is the name of the guy with the superman T-Shirt in The Goonies?  :lol:

When I had long hair I used to get Francis Rossi or the child-catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

When I cut it short, I got Bob Cryer from The Bill.

So I grew a beard, I don't think I've had any since.

The lead singer of Korn, the one with the moustache in The Mighty Boosh, and an online face recognition thingy said I looked 90% like Monica Bellucci, (which is clearly wrong).

Qui-Gon Jinn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qui-Gon_Jinn) when the Star Wars prequels were out (especially my friend's son, who I suspect only really knows me as that), Hamish Campbell (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=braveheart+hamish) when Braveheart was out and Jack Nicholson many moons ago, thanks to that Shining poster and my eyebrows apparently (someone I knew even wrote a note on his poster saying it looked like me).

Phil Mitchel - this was pre permanent beard days in school, just after I shaved my hair.

Andy Cairns - from Therapy? So much so in fact that one of my friends convinced his mates I was him in photos. Also some people at a Therapy? gig, including security!

Gary Oldman.

Robert Smith (!)

I'll leave it up to you whether any of these are good or bad...

M.

Steve Buscemi and Howard Wolowitz from The Big Bang Theory recently, but when I had a goatee it used to be Dave Grohl and Richard Branson.

Oh! That's Qui-Gon Jinn. The one I was thinking you meant turns out to be called Ki-Adi Mundi.  ::)
Boy, do I feel silly. You can see how I went wrong: the difference between Qui and Ki is subtle when you're not a Star Wars fan.

And you've been compared to Billy Conolly. Yes, you have.

I used to get compared to Rory Gallagher when I was younger

These days it's another Ricky Gervais


sob

My sister reckons I look like the sax player from Jools holland's band but a quick google image search reveals that I look bugger all like him.

The resemblance between between Phil Collins and my willy however is uncanny.

LOL. Fair does. I'm happy to be compared with the Big Yin for any reason ;)

When I was at university, I let my hair grow long. This would have been about 15 years ago when I still wore glasses. I walked past a bunch of kids on a bus stop who shouted "Danny Baker" at me. I had to admit that they weren't far off.

When my hair got long enough to tie back, the Danny Baker stuff stopped. Then it became Penn Jillette.

I had laser surgery on my eyes about nine years ago. Just as well because if I still wore glasses, I would be the double of Andrew "sexed up" Gilligan.

"Hey Jesus, get a haircut," was the finest thing a group of children on a street have ever shouted at me. I actually had to stop walking as I was laughing too much.

Kids in the street yelling stuff? Last summer I got "Oi, Shakespeare!"

But of course. Doesn't every man with a beard, wearing a shirt collar and a waistcoat, look the spitting image of Shakespeare?

A homeless smackhead acquaintance of mine calls me Jesus, which can get a few odd looks from passersbys, when a homeless guy starts shouting "Jesus." I even had a photograph of me walking on water, now long lost naturally ;)

Good job your homeless smackhead friend isnt an alcoholic or you would forever be asked to turn water into wine.

I havent ever been compared to anyone famous.The only thing i have compared to as somehow i remind them of it is a Lion which is because of the hair.I understand this as i have a friend who looks very very similar to Alan Moore with the same hair and beard and everything yet at the same time somehow he reminds me of a Grizzly bear.

I always think Jimmy Carr looks like a younger Richard Nixon.

Alternately Gerry Adams and Stewart Ainsworth (the Landscape guy off of Time Team - stretching the definition of famous, but still better than the Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead).

Back in the Long Hair and Goatee days my work and neices always called me Jesus, just lazy anyone with long brown hair and a beard seems to be called jesus.
When i cut my hair my ex said i looked just like Chris Cornell from Soundgarden, i personlly think she was just trying to make me feel better because she cut all me hair off.

CU Radbacker

At the moment I have a Charles Bronson(Serial Killer) vibe at the moment. It's a half inch crew cut with a stonking goatee. Well that's what I've been told. Googled said figure and that isn't even his image. ::)

The last time I remember getting that was while I was minding my own business at the Co-op in Newport Pagnell when I was 6-7 ish.. Ahhh happy times..

Whenever my hair gets to certain length, I'll get the odd Stephen Fry comment.

Please tell me they do that "Nyer!" that he does in the Blackadder series.  :P

Years back I had people convinced I was Ryan Giggs when out in Middlesbrough (don't ask).  When discussing 'who would play you in the film of your life?' the general consensus was Colin Firth (could be worse, I suppose). 

Out in Sheffield one night I was accosted by a young lady who demanded 'Are you famous?' to which I should have replied 'Why don't we discuss that over breakfast?' instead of 'Er, no'.

:|

When we were both a bit younger, John Simm (circa The Lakes) - but not so much these days.

Somewhat bizarrely, a few people I've met in my life swear blind that I look like Thom Yorke from Radiohead (again, more so when I was younger). Have never seen an iota of resemblance myself - and I don't have a lazy eye! I can remember a few years ago while I was living in France, an American girl chasing me down a street to tell me how much I looked like him.

More charitably, a few years ago - when I had longer hair (and was a fair bit skinnier) - I was told by several people that I looked like Adam Brody, who played Seth in The OC.

The fact that these people look nothing like each other probably tells you how much I look like each of them!

Am I the only person on here who's had the good sense never to have had either long hair and/or a 'goatee' beard?

I used to get called Stan Laurel at school and I've had Dan Ackroyd too when I put some beef on.

At my best I've been compared to MCA from the Beastie Boys and I was once described as looking like Brad Pitt by a Japanese student (?).

These days however, it's most often Vic Reeves...

I usually get Tim Roth or Murray from Flight of the Concords. To be fair, those are both fairly spot on, though I'm a bit skinnier.

I'm always told "Withnail" , never Richard E Grant, always Withnail.

QuoteAm I the only person on here who's never had the vision to have had either long hair and/or a 'goatee' beard?

Fixed that for you.

One mate said I looked like Colin Farrell, which I was very unimpressed with.

Last time my hair was long and tied back I was accused of looking like David Seaman. Of course I shaved it off very soon after that  :lol:

Some tramp said I looked like Sue Pollard.

A few years back someone told me I looked like (now) England Rugby manager Martin Johnson. I wasn't convinced then and I'm still not now.

The only famous face I've ever been compared to is Seth Rogen. Share the curly hair, gingery beard and gut.

I can promise you I am no way accountable for any of their deaths I wasnt the nail, belt or bathtub :-)

When i was younger, Rob Lowe.

Only really on account of the hair colour and style and general head shape.

No, i'm not in his league.

I've also had Stuart Barnes and Robbie Williams but i really don't look like either of them.

Wasn't there a web-site taht did this? If you downloaded a picture it would scan your features and it's programme would work out who you looked like to the nearest decimal point?

there is! I can't remember the address though

Mine are  bizarre and none of them look alike! I've been told I look like:

Terry Hall
John Foxx
Marc Almond
Gary Numan
Gary Neville
Morrissey
Brian Molko

The Almond / Numan / Molko comparisons were probably just because of the black hair / clothes and eyeliner I used to constantly wear, the Terry Hall and Gary Neville... well, I actually probably do look a bit like a cross between them.

Most beautiful spaceship ever committed to paper, and of course named in her turn for Spaceman 1st Class Digby's own Aunt.  Maybe your reluctant intended was that very aunt?

She'll definitely see the error of her ways when Stevie hitches up with a fine young filly half her age named Blitzspear.

One of the best comments/put downs/back-handed compliment//insult was being told by an old acquaintance,
