My first gf sed I looked like bob dylan: also not true. I think my features must be so blazingly unique that even loved ones haf to hallucinate the billboard-familiar and project.

That's Pamela Stephenson. I always find it immensely amusing that two completely different women are automatically sorted in the same catagory in everyone's minds (once I was talking to some friends about Baywatch and mentioned P. Stephenson instead of Anderson, and everyone was baffled for a few seconds).
Going back to the thread, I was standing outside Leatherhead Leisure Centre once around about 1995/6 and a group of boys drove past, and one of them shouted out the window while pointing at me "NOEL GALLAGHER!" I was dismayed - I was hoping they would have shouted "GRAHAM COXON!" as I was a Blur fanatic at the time. And I wore glasses.

In 1992 I saw Blur's best ever show (that I've seen myself, at least), and I was right up front as Damon amusingly shuffled/swanned onto stage, with a haircut and a shirt that was pure Morrissey. I instantly thought so, and was rewarded when half the crowd around me shouted out "Morrissey!" Damon looked annoyed.

when i had short red hair about 6 years ago, people said i looked like molly ringwald (which would have been cool had it not been so blatantly untrue). now i have long red hair they agree the resemblence has diminished somewhat.
when i was *much* younger i got accused of looking like the original Lucy from Neighbours, which i reckon has scarred me mentally, deep down.

There was a period of time when I couldn't go anywhere without people telling me that I looked like Hootie. Setting aside the fact that there wasn't anyone in Hootie and the Blowfish named Hootie, I was aggravated by Darius's perpetually flat, pressed singing and thus despised all connections to him. I've also been told I look like Jesse L. Martin. Personally, I think I look like Taye Diggs, only lighter and with a bigger head. It has also been proven by science that I am extraordinarily self-delusional.

Once: Mani out of the Stone Roses Ian Brown out of the Stone Roses Claire Danes Neil Morrissey
I was most pleased with the Claire Danes comparison, but that's the one that everyone else says "Yeah, right" about. Most angry about Neil Morrissey. I think it was just cause my hair was getting long.
Once (and once only) I was impressed to be told I looked like a white KRS-1.

celeb resemblance
― the bellefox, Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:19 (twenty-one years ago)
Overwhelming proportion of people name people who are VERY GOOD- LOOKING. Two possible reasons: 1. Celebs tend to be good looking; 2. ILE folk tend to be good-looking. So which is it?
I think that I am partly saying: why does no-one ever talk about the ugly people that, or whom, they resemble?

we also have a not-lloyd cole, in glasgow, whom, it turns out, my new flatmate's [new?] boyfriend actually knew. knows.
I don't look like david sneddon.
