<p>Just for fun I’m asking fellow CC’rs, “What famous person have you been told that you look like?”…I wish I could say Princess Diana but I’ve been told that I look like Ellen de Generes!</p>
<p>Back in the day I was told I looked “just like” Margot Kidder. These days I look like Queen Victoria.</p>
<p>Wherever I go in the world, complete strangers walk up to tell me the “good news” that I look like a certain celebrity whom I do not admire and whose looks I dislike. I kid you not: People will cross the street to share this info with me.</p>
<p>That is why I am not mentioning that celebrity here.</p>
<p>When I had more hair, JFK. Later Jimmy Carter. I don’t see the resemblance.</p>
<p>LOL Terrific!</p>
<p>Used to be told I looked like the girl in To Sir With Love, - Lulu.</p>
<p>Daughter used to be told she looked like J.F.K. junior’s wife .</p>
<p>my older daughter looks very similar to carolyn Bessette also, but shorter.I dont know who my younger daughter looks like- angelina jolie is probably the closest- but she is a lot more sedate!
My spouse looked a lot like Nick nolte( in both their younger days!) I guess I still look like Cyndi Lauper- but now that I don’t wear betsey Johnson so much I just look like a mom :)</p>
<p>I’ve never been told that I look like anyone who is famous but my husband has been mistaken for Val Kilmer more times than I can count!</p>
<p>Hmm… friends say I look like Matt Damon.</p>
<p>Sorry, I’m not a parent, but this thread is very interesting…</p>
<p>If we’re doing husbands mine looks like David Cone. (was he a Met?)</p>
<p>When I was skinny, people said that I looked like Meg Tilly. Now that I am chubbier, perhaps Roseanne Arnold? (Well, not THAT bad. . .)</p>
<p>Husband and I were visiting the Outer Banks one year and for kicks went and saw a hypnotist/comedy show… He had a group of people from the audience come up onto stage and was doing various things to each. About 15 minutes into the show he tells this one woman that when he says “star” and snaps his fingers she was going to look into the audience and see her favorite movie star. A few minutes later he snaps his fingers and says “star”. She proceeds to look into the audience (right at me!) and her eyes get real big and she says “oh, my, oh, my!!” and she starts pointing at me. The hypnotist asked her what was the matter and she says “there’s Nicole Kidman” and she literally starts jumping up and down on the stage pointing at me! She proceeded to bring down her drink napkin and asked me to sign it saying that she was my biggest fan, etc.! I was completely embarrassed, had no idea what to write on the napkin… put NICOLE KIDMAN< LOL! The point of this story is that I look NOTHING like Nicole Kidman, LOL! However, my dear husband proceeds to tell me that when that poor woman looked out in the audience and saw Tom Cruise… (meaning him, LOL!) she of course assumed, that since I was with him, that I had to be Nicole Kidman. Other than that, never told that I look like anyone famous.</p>
<p>My husband thinks that I look like Sharon Stone so love really is blind!</p>
<p>I have been told I look like the guy who sells Men’s suits nationwide. My wife is georgous of course (you reading this honey?)</p>
<p>I don’t look like anyone that anyone here would know, but in our national/international caving community (quite large, actually, with friends and colleagues around the world), I look EXACTLY like a person who is “famous” within that group. I cannot tell you how many times people have come up to me and carried on entire conversations thinking they were talking to this guy. I have had women come up and kiss me hello, thinking that I was him, and have even had photos of me published where I was incorrectly identified as him. We know each other and laugh about it. At one point we were both on the board of directors of an Institute and, when photos of the board members were published, our names were swapped! He jokingly tells me not to spread the story about being kissed by women who thought I was him, especially when his wife is around!</p>
<p>My husband has been told many times that he looks like Clark Kent. ( Superman, to me 
)</p>
<p>Last month a woman practically accosted him in the street to ask him if he were Harry Potter, because he looked like Harry Potter! (obviously a bit daffy)</p>
<p>In my younger years, people said I look like Ann Margaret. Today, well, not so much. In fact, not at all. More like Martha before her conviction.</p>
<p>I can’t think of anyone I look like except…well…uh, ME?</p>
<p>I don’t know who my husband looks like but two times in the past year, other folks thought THEY knew. I was walking down the main drag (no pun intended) in Provincetown, MA last summer with hubby and some teens came up to him and said, “Did you know you look just like Jerry Garcia?”…</p>
<p>And then last winter my husband was running for the school board and his photo was in the local newspaper. Some man whom I don’t know rang the house and he said to me…"I saw your husband’s picture in the paper and I thought I should point out that he looks like Saddam Hussein and he may want to think about that. " Not sure his point and he never asked to talk to my husband and even said he did not live around here (where many know who my husband is, as it is a small town.) </p>
<p>Now, I have to tell you that my husband really needs to cut his hair and beard. I am the one who cuts his hair but he waits too long between cuts. I get on his case about it and actually right now is the very worst but he does not seem to care and he has a professional job where he sees folks of all ages up close. You’d think the Saddam Hussein remark might have meant something to him, but nada. </p>

<p>My husband has been told he looks like Robin Williams. I can’t see it but what do I know? People always tell me I look just like my D - they realize of course it is the other way around but they tend to do that if they knew her first. I was really flattered when she reported that someone engaged her in a long conversation, assuming she was me - so I guess maybe I look younger than my years. But Robin Williams is sure looking old…</p>
<p>As Xiggi let the cat out of the bag a couple of weeks ago, last year in NYC I was mistaken for Stephen Sondheim. I’ve got to say…looking at the photo I can see a resemblance. However, when I look in the mirror I see Johnny Depp.</p>
<p>When I look in the mirror, I see my gggrandma from Paisley, Scotland. Not at all what I thought was going to happen. Another shock, since I was never a fan, my son looks a tad bit like Elvis if he only had sideburns…and 50s hair.</p>
<p>I’ve been told that I’m a shade darker but definitely look somewhat like Minnie Driver 
Works for me!</p>
