Joenoir was once told he looked like Adam Faith ..... has anyone else been told they look like an actor /actress?

I was once told I look like Clayton 'Lone Ranger' Moore .... but that was a long time ago!

I had a (sadly now departed) friend who was always being mistaken for Bill Murray.



It could be really annoying just going down the pub with him - especially as I couldn't actually see it myself! Still, it often worked to his advantage and he was a nice fella........

I was told years ago that I looked like Zoe Wannamaker. It was the eyes and hair I think. I was quite chuffed as I have great respect for her as a darn good actress! The other was Dana the Irish singer who won the eurovision song contest years ago hardly that similar I'd say!

My son tells me I look like Jack Lemmon when he is in the cracking up in the padded cell scene in DAYS OF WINE & ROSES. I thought I looked like Jason in JASON & THE ARGONAUTS.

That's when I was a young pup, latterly I've been compared to Robert Kilroy-Silk! Obviously I'm not improving with age.

My maternal grandfather was said to look like Bill Pratt (aka Boris Karloff), and Dad says my paternal grandfather, when young, looked rather like Oliver Tobias.

I don't look like anyone in movies, more like a slightly wonky Rossetti portrait.

What's wrong with RKS? I spoke to him on the telephone once - and he's a very pleasant man.....whatever shade of orange he happens to be at the time!

Not an actor, but before I got my glasses I was always being told I looked like Prince Andrew (Duke of York).

I've got an old photo of my paternal great-grandmother. There is a striking similarity to Margaret Hamilton - The Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz (1939). Although it's a B&W photo so I can't tell if she had green skin

As for me, I don't think anyone's desperate enough to claim they look like me

My hair reminds people of his ex-wife's, but the colour of mine is henna'd.

If we're talking relatives, my father was always said to look like Humphrey Bogart.

I had a relative who was the spit of Humphrey Bogart, too.

RIP Auntie Edna.
