When I saw the footage of Peggy Lee singing "Fever" on the news this week I thought, "goodness me, doesn't she look like Lady Penelope!"

Do you have any unlikely, unflattering examples of famous people looking like puppets/animals/etc?

Lady Penelope's puppet is based on Sylvia Anderson (who also did the voice). Oddly, cheecking at www.celeb-geneology.com it turns out that Sylvia Anderson is a second cousin to Peggy Lee. Go figure!

and of course Alan Hansen is Captain Scarlet.

Peggy also = (for obv. reasons), Lady, from 'Lady and the Tramp'. Rowr, indeed.

Sometimes I think Mark Viduka has something of the Sphie Ellis Bextor about him (and vice versa). Not sure which is the puppet / animal.

Aston Villa's Paul Merson and French film actor Gerard Depardieu...

Oh, just noticed the puppet bit! opps...

Sophie E-B also = the "we are Siamese, if you please" cats from 'Lady and the Tramp' (what a treasure trove this film is).

[Sorry Peggy Lee = 'Peg' - duh! - in 'L&tT' (although she also did the voices for Si, Am and Darling)... what a woman!]

― Edna Welthorpe, Mrs, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We are Si-a-mese if you plee-ase/We are Si-a-mese if you don't please/ We are former residents of Siam/There are no finer cats than I am.

This is NOT going to leave my Brain Radio ALL DAY. Thanks, Troussé.

Surely Alan Hansen is more Captain Black than Captain Scarlet? Ruud Van Nistelroy is a dead ringer for Scooby Doo.

Hats off to Jonnie for Nistelrooy / Doo conjunction: I was trying to work that out last night but couldn't put my finger on it.

Steven Gerrard looks like one of those dogs with too much skin. I can't remember if I thought of that or if I stole it of someone.

― Tim, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Unfortunately, once you know the Van Nistelroy thing you'll never be able to see his face on tv without shouting out "Wrrrrragggy".

― Jonnie, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Chris Tarrant talks like Barney the Dinosaur.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ann Robinson looks like Tubacha sp? from Star Wars.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hats off to Hopkins for calling Scooby 'Doo'.

Ronan my dear boy, it's Chewbacca. I didn't think any young man would be able to effect such a disastorous misspelling.

― Jonnie, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It looks so familiar now that you spell it there.

Also that almost could be "dastoorus misspelling".

― Ronan, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

One of my friends looks like an antelope. He wants to look like Ewan McGregor though.

― Maria, Wednesday, 23 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have a friend who sort of looks like Falcor, the Luck Dragon from "The Never Ending Story."

one year passes...

roaaaawar

seven years pass...

just want it noted that because of this thread, we referred to one of our (now deceased) cats as "Tubacha" for about seven or eight years, and we thank you.

Keith Urban looks exactly like a Wii Mii. I'm sure I've played wii tennis against him.
