Following on from the 'who would you like to be stuck in a lift with' thread. I wrote that an ex boyfriends Dad thought I looked like Doris Day. Another friend also once said I looked like Melinda Messinger - but with 2 important points missing I might add! So which famous person do you look like? Jeanette

Hiya - on a good day - Godzilla! on a bad day - his sister! Was once mistaken for Julia Mackenzie (think that's the spelling, but as I'm not her couldn't really be sure) Actually, now I come to think of it, I also sing like Godzilla! LOL Jacqui

Jacqui We obviously have the same voice coach! Forgot to say I actually look like Melinda Messingers ugly sister! It's something to do with the 'coat hanger' smile. Yes, ok, I've got a big mouth!!!!!! About a dozen of us played this game one night when we went out for a meal. My friend Mark looks like a cross between Nasser Hussain and Freddie Mercury, his brother Al looks like Marlon out of Emmerdale, Steve looks like a cross between Robbie Williams and Roy Cropper and Ken looks like Ken in a monkey mask. And he still hasn't taken it off! Jeanette

Forgot to say my other half looks like George Clooney - with the figure of Jockey Wilson! Jeanette

I have convinced several people that I was the Milky Bar Kid, during the 70's

Cecil Parkinson (or is it Cyril). Lord Parkinson anyway, with a passing resemblance to Michael Parkinson (are they related? (geneoloical query))

Lots of people reckon I look like Anne Robinson from Weakest Link. Haven't got her bank balance though!

Iv been old several times that I look like Jennifer Jones the actress,,,,obviously this is way before my time,,!!!

I don't think I resemble anyone, but in his younger days, my hubby looked like Nicholas Lindhurst, when he was in Butterflies. My son is the image of Prince William, lots of people have commented on the likeness, so its not just me being big headed.

I was a teenager in the 60s and a Mod...yes an original one and used to go round with a group of local scooter boys.Although they knew my name I was christened Cilla as they all thought I looked like Cilla Black....One day my Dad said"I keep getting all these phone calls for someone called cilla and they won't take it that there's nobody here by that name" Lynn

I don't know who I'm like but my 16 year old son resembles Justin Timberlake..lots of people have said it so like Morfydd I'm not imagining it. He's very musical too- hopefully he'll make his millions one day! Aileenx

No-one has told me who I look like whilst I'm wearing my contact lenses, but whenever I'm wearing my slightly retro dark framed glasses, I apparently look like Vic Reeves, Greg Proops (American comedian, as seen on Whose Line Is It Anyway?) or Jack Osbourne (Ozzy's son)!

Hi Jeanette Nice thread. You don't have to guess to much to figure who I resemble. This I got from Sue, who reckons that when I perch my glasses down my nose to see the TV, I look like badger from Wind in the Willows. Badger Bill

Patrick Stewart aka Captain Jean-Luc Picard has not yet bought his "Looking like Me" Licence.

I'm afraid I just look like my mother.... Nothing wrong in that, you may say, but she looks like her late mother now. I have photo's of my grandmother , g grandmother, gg grandmother and ggg grandmother. they all look very similar after 70 - like the Grandmother in the Giles' cartoons! Only another 23 years to go..........

I've been told I look like Pauline Quirke. When I was about 2 years old, Mum and Dad took me to London Zoo, and as kids are apt to say things in a loud voice, especially when it's quiet, said Dad you look like that monkey. (It was only Guy the Gorilla)!! Liz

I used to look like Liza Minelli - when she did Sally Bowles in 'Cabaret' And a year or two (sic) back my daughter did a rendition of 'Bye Bye Mein Lieber Herre' on stage at her (then) comprehensive. She brought the house down she was so good. Not that I'm boasting mind! And she is/was very like me. Not that I'm biased mind! Look more like a doting grandma now.

I looked in the mirror and what did I see? my mother's face looking back at me, sadly she was no beauty either. lol

When I have a bad / hot welding job on a furnace , I cut off most of my hair to keep cool & everyone says I look like Bob Hoskins!!

When younger and thinner I was mistaken for Joanna Lumley Now adays 2 children later and an empty peroxide bottle I'm regularly mistaken for Dawn French * sigh*
