Me, I look exactly like Shakira.

When in my low-teens I was told I looked like Ralph Maccio. Later on it would be a series of different musicians, depending on where my facial hair was at the time, and some of whom don't look that similiar to each other: Trent Reznor, Brian Warner, Nuno Bentencourt, Chris Cornell, and 1 or 2 others I can't think of right now.
Lately I've mostly been told I look like Jesus. Including by one of dkw's parishoners.

fugu13... You DO. Really. I never thought about it, but yeah.
I always get told I look like people that I really don't look like at all. The chick from Northern Exposure, The chick from China Beach. Sandra Bullock.
I don't resemble any of them in the least, except maybe the hairstyles I've had at different times. I used to wear my hair like Terri Hatcher in her Lois and Clark days.
I just have one of those inoffensive, girl-next-door faces. Everyone thinks I look like somebody they know. Clients used to say to their companions, "Doesn't she look just like so-and-so's cousin?" People used to stop me in the mall and ask, "Do you work at that sports bar?"
I find it terribly vexing.

Heh, thanks, though I actually still have very little conception of what Beck looks like. Suppose I could just look in a mirror, though.

I've been told I look like: Jake Gyllenhaal (We have very similar eyes, I mostly agree) Toby Mcquire (I don't agree as much, but he looks a lot like Jake Gyllenhaal, so can't argue there)
and Matt Damon I'm not sure what the resemblance is, but lots of people have told me. Niki said no way when I told her that people have said this, but then when watching Rounders she said she could totally see it. I think it might be body type or hair or mannerisms.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
If I were forced at gunpoint to say you looked like any of them, I would say you resembled Toby McGuire. But you don't look much like any of them.

Posted by ssasse (Member # 9516) on :
pH, in that picture, you strike me as resembling the young Virginia Woolf more than any of those listed. I think it's the eyes and nose -- a sort of elegant, refined pairing.

I've been told I look like Emma Watson and Anne Hathaway. No one has told me that since I cut my hair though.
Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :
I can see the resemblance to Kidman, pH. At least in that picture, and more so around your eyes and nose than than your mouth and jaw. Then again, I recall seeing a different picture of you that looked very little at all like Kidman.
Edited to add: Less so as I have gotten older, though. And I imagine that if Ms. Shue would style her hair with a briar bush, it would help the resemblance.

Woah, I see what you mean about your pictures looking different, pH. If I hadn't known otherwise, I wouldn't be able to tell that those are all the same person. Well, maybe those last two, but I wouldn't have been positive about it. You remind me of someone else in those, but no one I can bring to mind at the moment. Also, you're too kind.
On an unrelated note, MightyCow you do kind of look like Gene Wilder. Probably more so if in that picture you weren't making the best face I've seen in a while.
I knew I was inviting problems when I mentioned Keanu...
Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :
I tried really hard to find a picture of Willy Wonka era Gene Wilder making that same face, but no dice.
Do to a recent hard drive crash, I don't have easy access to any other pictures of me with hair that length, so you'll have to use your imagination
I kind of wish I could grow a really nice, full beard so I could see how much I can make myself look like Chuck Norris. Alas, it will never be Posted by skillery (Member # 6209) on :
Hey pH,
You look like that chick on Mythbusters. Do you do the Gothic thing? Hope you don't do the thong and low-rise jeans thing.
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
See, the key with wearing ultra low rise jeans is to also wear ultra low rise thongs.
As to whether or not I do the gothic thing, it completely depends on the day. And my mood. And where I'm going.
I kind of think I look like that one DA from Law and Order: SVU. Diane Neal, that's her name.

Posted by TheGrimace (Member # 9178) on :
I don't think I have any pictures available but in highschool I was always described as looking like a Teddy-Grahm. What's particularly odd about this is that half the time this observation was made while standing at attention with sabre drawn in my Class-A's in front of my company in formation... I don't know what kind of JROTC teddy-grahms everyone else was eating but I always found the comparison amusing.

In her early appearances on the show, the camera kept accidentally catching glimpes of Kari's thong as she was shown building various contraptions. I was afraid she would catch it on something, and that would be the end of Kari. Lately the cameraman has been choosing more discrete angles.

Ironically the only time I've ever been told I look like anybody celbritywise I was with celia60. (although lots of people claim they've seen *someone* that looks like me somewhere, bowling alleys, sister's friends cousin kind of things)
Anyway we were in CostPlus World Market (now just World Market) and I'd just managed to walk into my own car door in the parking lot much to Celia's and her husband's great amusement. I was working on a good knot on my forehead and had a throbbing headache. I sat down while they made their purchases and a checker came all the way over to where I was sitting down to tell me I looked like Julia Stiles.
It was a very surreal experience, partially from the altered state of consciousness the knock on the head induced.
On the other hand I really like Julia Stiles as an actress so I certainly took it as a compliment!
