A couple of people I come in to contact with every day look so much like famous people it's uncanny.The man who brings the stationery is the image of the cop from Terminator 2. If you say to him "Wow! You look like the..." he says "Yeah, I know, the cop from Terminator 2". So it's not just me. He make me feel scarrred.
 And the Italian man I buy soup from at the deli. He is the image of Harry Dean Stanton. If I can get a picture of him I'll bump this thread and post it.
 Do you know anyone who looks like a famous person? If you're able to post a pic of them and their lookylikey so much the better. I realise that without it, it might be a bit.. crap...*ahem*

My Babies daddy often looks like steve martin.
My mother looks like Terri Hatcher.
A friend long ago look freakily like Reece witherspoon. Uncanny. 
My papa looks like a very old version of Arnie swchartzenegger. IP: Logged |

Lol this is funny XD. I get mistaken for Rihanna sometimes or Naomie Harris(Pirates of the Carribean/28 days later). The funny thing is Rihanna is a Pisces and Naomie is a Virgo and I am Virgo Sun/Pisces moon.IP: Logged |

My dad looked exactly like James Dean in his younger days. He was sooo handsome. Any time someone would see an old picture of him they would gasp and say that. Sadly years of alcohol abuse and heavy smoking really changed his physical appearance. You wouldnt have even guessed the earlier pictures were him if you had a look at him later on. Completely different person.  I'd post a pic if I had one, but theyre all in storage up north. IP: Logged |

I met my own doppelganger in Tennessee. We worked together. People confused us constantly. It was kind of weird, especially as his personality was a bit more outgoing.IP: Logged |

Smoking took it's toll on my dad, too. He looked like a cross between Benicio DelToro and Brad Pitt when he was younger. It's kinda eerie, actually... Also, years of working out in the sun and getting tan have changed his face a lot. I love James Dean... My two cousins, sisters, both look like actresses. The older one, who is 16, looks just like Kirsten Dunst. Kids at her school call her Mary Jane (from Spiderman). Her younger sister, who is 14, looks like Jennifer Love Hewitt. Amazing that they are sisters, they are so different! IP: Logged |

My boyfriend looks a lot like Ashton Kutcher. And it's not just wishful thinking on my part lol, random strangers will tell him that whenever we go out. Except now I think he looks like Freddy Mercury because he just got a ridiculous mustache and I'm unimpressed  I've looked at old pictures of my dad and he looks like a young Leo Dicaprio sort of. I don't really look like anyone. People have said I look like Bjork, Shannyn Sossamon and Angelina Jolie (LOL I think he was drunk). IP: Logged |

My mother when younger, Kira Sedgwick.
A Joan who looked like Joan Baez.
An ex sister-in-law, Vivien Leigh.
A Jonathan Winters...however..due to the situation, it may have actually been him!
There are more, but do not know the famous people's names offhand.

My husband always got Chandler from Friends. One night we were watching together and I looked at him and he was wearing the same shirt, pants, and tie as Chandler. Too funny!He's also pretty neurotic, so it kind of works. IP: Logged |

My friend has a beautiful Collie dog that constantly reminded me of my girlfriend. I cannot say why, maybe it was her boundless energy, or her innocent spirit, or the way she smiled (you know who dogs give you that grin).Of course I would never tell my girlfriend, she may take it the wrong way, and she has an incredibly hard punch. I once took her shoe shopping, then I became moody after she had tried on the 45th pair without buying yet, my mood seemed to bring her down. So I suggested she punch me on the arm as it would be a good way to revitalise our spirits. So she punched me, my arm almost fell off. Hiding my pain, I told her I had to go check out the mens section. I think thats why elephants always go away somewhere solitary to die. I went to the mens section because my arm had died. Anyway, a collie dog, yes. IP: Logged |

And when I was 14, there was a guy in school who people told me was my double. I studied him from every angle and decided that he look exactly like a monkey. Fearing other people saw me as a monkey too, I remember spending hours using two mirrors at home, inspecting diferent angles of my head. I came to the conlusion I looked a little bit like a monkey from certain angles, so I should just always try to face the people in the world from the more flattering angles. IP: Logged |

I was at a wedding last weekend and there was a guy that looked scarily a lot like a friend who also happened to be at the wedding. We all picked up on it too! And the friend admitted that the guy looked like him too!A colleague showed me a photo of his auntie in her younger days and she looked like me. I saw a woman at the hairdressers last year who was so much like Catherine Zeta-Jones. Apparently another friend knows of a Simon Baker lookalike in our town, I'm yet to meet him. Will let you know if I see him. I saw a guy at the airport last year who looked EXACTLY like another person I know. Only difference was that he sported an earring. I was staring at him across the baggage carousel in amazement. Still can't believe the resemblance and was so close to slapping him on the back and saying hi and then I saw his earring. He knew that something was up and so did his friend. AG - now that's freaky! Does that mean I have to worship both of you?

A good tip for any guys who are subjected to the tortures of 'shoe-shopping' - Buy a newspaper on the way. Sit in the shop and read whilst she salivates over this seasons new lines. The first time I ever did this, I looked up from reading the Sports, completely forgetting the excruciating agony of being in a shoe department, to see a row of guys (all stood along the edge of the shoe section, arms crossed, anxiously waiting for their partners to finish) look at me as if to say "Hes been here before!"IP: Logged |

LOL, Betel! I dated a guy who looked a lot like Russell Crowe years ago. He doesn't look like him anymore though. Ex-hubby looked like Ed Harris in a way. My stepfather reminds me of an older Keaunu Reeves for some reason. Doesn't say, DUUUUUDE or anything. Just something in the face. My father has a strange similarity to Robin Williams in his face. A very good friend of mine looks a bit like Catherine Deneuve. I went out with one guy who looked a LOT like James Dean (ok, staring to sound shallow now with the boys...) A lot of people I know remind me of celebrities, it's strange. IP: Logged |

And for some reason, I can look at an animal and they can remind me of someone famous. My parents had a cat that I called 'Spock', because he reminds me of Leonard Nimoy.
It got complicated because I used to wait tables at a place for lunch and the manager reminded me of the cat, so I started calling him 'Spock', which, of course, he didn't understand IP: Logged |
