Title: Alright Daft Thread...who have you been told you look like?
Post by: sgmypod on May 23, 2008, 09:43:21 AM: Kinda follows on from Twinfan saying he looked like Dave Grohl *L*

My funniest was when I had hair...long long ago..that I looked like cross between Keanu Reeves..........and Sid little

and lately that I look like Harry Hill (guess it's the bald/glasses thing *L*)

Post by: Twinfan on May 23, 2008, 09:48:24 AM: As Marc says, I've had Dave Grohl mentioned quite a few times. Plus Dean Cain (The Superman TV series guy) when I was a LOT younger. And fitter.....

Post by: WezV on May 23, 2008, 09:55:17 AM: where do i start!!!

Ali G (regularly)

David Baddiel (not so much now)

Shane Ward (Mostly my parents winding me up - but it was occasionally creepy)

David Blaine (i got that a lot a few years ago)

Rob Flynn (one of my mates had a badly printed machine head t-shirt and it looks just like i was sitting in the middle of the band)

Ricky Gervais (one student started this, its probably the least obvious lookalikey for me - but obviously one that sticks)

Basically if someone has a goatee at some point i will get compared to them... if they have a goatee and ashort hair i will get it regularly.... if they have a goatee, short hair and glasses i get it a hell of a lot - hence the Ali G one

Post by: maverickf1jockey on May 23, 2008, 10:46:02 AM: When my hair was a little shorter I can remember wearing jeans, a T-shirt and a swede leather jacket and watching 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape'.

I was a little worried as the character seemed to have been based on me too (even the way he walks into a room and looks around. Mainly in personality rather than in my situation.).

So basically I'm like an inexpensive forgery (not a particularly good one) of Johnny Depp that could do with a session to the gym (I'm not fat but I've had a lull in between skittles seasons so I haven't been able to work, which was where I was getting most of my exercise, and spending money, from. I also can't be bothered to travel 3/4Mile without pavement or transport to get to town.). I could also do with tidying my hair up a bit.

You don't know where they decided to cut costs! :lol:

Seriously though. It's more that character than Johnny Depp himself (at least it wasn't Edward Scissorhands. Is it just me or doesn't the guitarist, and I use the term loosely, of The White Stripes remind you of Edward?)

Post by: Philly Q on May 23, 2008, 11:46:43 AM: When I was about 18 and had very long straight hair and round-ish glasses, I was walking past a pub and somebody shouted "look, it's John Lennon's son!" :roll:

As an adult, I've been told I look like:

Kiefer Sutherland (OK, that's bearable)

Brad Pitt (No, really, don't laugh! But the similarities, if they're there, are really just hair and eye colour and a sort of general Nordic(?) look. I suppose I could be the dwarfish, troll-like brother Brad's parents kept locked in an attic :| ).

Realistically, since I got fatter and grew some facial hair I think I most resemble:

Post by: HTH AMPS on May 23, 2008, 12:23:30 PM: my mates reckon if I grew my beard for another few months and put on a fat-body suit I could resemble Brian Blessed. that essentially means I look nowt like him, except for a short beard.

our lass calls me Gandalf on account of the beard - again, I'm not close to looking like Ian McKellen though I do share his christian name.

Post by: cjpmmd on May 23, 2008, 01:50:46 PM: In my more slender, long-haired youth = David Lee Roth.
Early thirties (glasses, less hair, and more weight) = Jerry Garcia.
Lately = Kenny Rogers (pre-surgery).

Sigh.

Yep, I agree.

Currently growing the beard-y too before I see the Foos in Manchester on June 2nd. The missus thought it'd be a laugh for me to go in 'fancy dress'....

Post by: gingataff on May 23, 2008, 03:19:23 PM: I recently got compared to the young Leonard Whiting (http://images.google.co.jp/images?q=leonard+whiting&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1) although I personally think I look a more like he does now than he did when he made Romeo & Juliet.

About 10 years ago I regularly got told I looked like Elton John and John Denver, and on one occasion an elderly and rather drunk man insisted that I was Michael J Fox, so much that he forced me to give him an autograph.
I hope he put it somewhere nice.

Post by: 38thBeatle on May 23, 2008, 06:45:42 PM: I get told I look like Glenn Tilbrook and as I love his songwriting I am mildly pleased about it. I certainly try to sound like him when I play "Is That Love" in the band.

AND DOUBLE LOL!!!

Yeah I used to get called Jesus a lot, mainly by drunken slags toppling out of pubs and clubs. Obviously have no creativity so they go for the most famous guy with long hair I guess.

Mind you, my nickname at a club I worked at when I was 15 was "Mmmbop" cos I had long hair and Hanson were in the charts at the time, lol. :lol:

Dude, you're seriously cool!

Turning a Hansen reference into a positive thing, especially given your music (which rocks by the way!), is a phenomenal feat!

I don't think I've been compared to anyone - presumably that just means I'm uninteresting and plain.
I can live with that!

I may be prejudiced because my stepmum is from Hull and I've had to listen to her going on about "Northern" values for most of my life... :roll:

Anyway, no, that kid wasn't me. In fact I was 33 when Hanson had their big hit, and it seems like centuries ago.

Post by: FELINEGUITARS on May 24, 2008, 06:28:17 PM: 20 years ago I used to get friends who teased me about looking like Michael Knight from Knightrider (David Hasselhoff!)

I've also had Gary Moore (face like a welder's bench as Ozzy once said - surely not!) and I had a load of 80s glam references like bass player from Warrant (Jerry Dixon) and stuff back then

Oh and I have always had the Brian May thing said

I think it was literally just the long hair thing, but if I had to choose one that I looked most similar to it would have been the older one. Same build and same shape face I think. But I heard girls having arguments about which one was cooler and it was always between the keys player and the oldest one so I was happy.

Post by: Nadz1lla on May 24, 2008, 10:23:16 PM: Not really proper ones. I used to get my arse felt all the time when I worked as a glass collector in said "seasonal" nightclub. Which I loved, cos there's me, this 15 year old kid getting his arse pinched by 18+ year old girls. :lol:

It's a shame none of my mates could actually get IN to the club to witness it and see I was telling the truth! :?

The only offer for a proper date I got was from a tubby girl. She had a pretty face and she was nice to me so I thought why the hell not. She went back to wherever she came from after a week anyway cos the nightclub was in a Holiday park, so the chick turnover was phenominal from week to week. More bumper than a Nissan factory!

If anyone starts humming Summer Lovin' now I'm going to shove my Warlock somewhere nasty. :evil:
