there was a girl in college who people would constantly mistake me for.
And not just, "oh you look like Jane Smith" I'd meet new people and they'd be like, "Oh, hi, we have English Lit together, right?" And when I'd say that no, I'm not taking that class they'd think I was messing with them because they were convinced we were the same person.
One of my BFF's had a class with my doppleganger and she kept telling me whenever it came up that I actually didn't look that much like her...it was a passsing resemblance only, etc etc. I thought it was odd that everybody else thought we were twins and she kept saying we weren't.
Yeah...I finally saw the girl...and...ummm...I cried. NOT CUTE. Like, actually unattractive. Not revolting, but markedly unattractive. It was one of those self-esteem in the bucket moments from which I have never quite recovered. Or I guess it was a needed correction? i dunno.
Yes. Not really with celebrities though. I get a lot of "you look like someone I know..." comments and then during the few occasions when I end up meeting the person they think looks like me, I'm in disbelief that they thought we looked alike.
I'd say the one celebrity that was truly WTF is Celine Dion. My mother's friend once told me I looked like her. Yeah, no.
I used to get Julianne Moore when my hair was red. When I posted on the Bump everyone told me I looked like some chick from Grey's Anatomy that was in a coma. I don't watch the show, so I have no idea who it is.

Ooo, I used to get the Grey's Anatomy reference, too. I wonder if it's the same one since we have the red hair connection. All redheads look alike, apparently.

I apparently look like everyone's friend, niece, babysitter, or local produce stocker.
Seriously, I get it all the time, that I look just like... I never see pictures, though, so I can't tell if it's true or not.
Even on our vacation, this couple we traveled with thought I looked just like... and I laughed about it with H. Then just a few days later he was following a woman in the airport that he thought was me, so that's twice in 2 weeks I got it.
For celebrities, the only person I've been told I look like is Tori Spelling. She has a horse's face. I did not like the comparison.

This is true. To hear people tell it, every ginger man looks like my H, from the guy on Modern Family to my sister's tattoo artist.

It's true. All gingers look alike. Something about the eyes. Lack of soul probably.
When Triple H (WWF/E Wrestler) was popular I got that a lot.
Many many years ago when I first started at my current employer there was a group of women who called me Ben because I "look just like Ben Affleck" - it was nice of them to say but not quite true.

MY BABY HAS A SOUL!!!!
*runs crying from post*
No she doesn't. Souless. Probably evil. Conspiring with the cats. One day you'll learn.
My niece may be a ginger (her daddy is and red hair runs in our family too) but we can't tell because that child refuses to grow any hair regardless of the fact that she'll be 2 years old in September. Her 1 month old baby brother has more hair than she does.
Back when I was waiting tables a couple of people told me I looked like Reese Witherspoon. Flattering, of course...but yeahNO. Not even close. I'm pretty sure both times, the person offering their opinion was drunk which is the only way that makes sense.

Just the one cat. The other is too dim to be of any use.
I think it was HAB who said she may *have soul* just not *a* soul. I'm gonna cling to that.

My sister's ex-boyfriend said I looked like Jessica Biel. I also took one of those "upload your pic and we will tell you what celebrity you look like" websites. It also said Jessica Biel. I look nothing like her. Nothing. I don't get it. We both have big smiles but that's about it. Not to mention I sure as shit don't have her body.
