The Dogmother Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I never thought I had until a friend emailed me this picture of an Italian government minister (predictably, she used to be a topless model ) Could have been me 10 years back Here's one of me to compare: Different pose, but not dis-similar. Any one else got a 'double'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Very good Clare! I saw the double of my FIL in New York, he even had the same dress sense we stopped him and asked if we could photograph him, he was very amused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 That's a very good likeness! I don't think I do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 That's a startling likeness, Claret . I'm glad you chose a shot of her as a Government minister rather than in her previous job . I've lost count of the number of times people say I look just like someone they know (it's never anyone famous ). I must just have a common face . Actually, on reflection, when I met my birth mother for the first time about 5 years ago, her family and friends were stunned how like her I look. People who knew her but hadn't met me yet, knew who I was without being told. (Not surprising really, but her "other" kids bore no resemblance to her whatsoever! At least they knew I wasn't an imposter .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 I remember you telling that story ANH. When she was a topless model, she had long hair. I did too 20 years ago - waist-length - but looked nothing like she was then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 It's uncanny!! Twice in the last month I have been asked if I have a sister as both people thought that I was identical (in looks and mannerisms apparently) to someone that they knew. "Ooops, word censored!"ody famous - like ANH I seem to have a common face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Sadly no, however, when silence of the lambs came out someone asked me for my autograph thinking I was Jodie Foster - I look nothing like her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I used to be a dead ringer for Jenny Agutter, though she appears to be ageing far better which is rather galling as she is just about old enough to be my mother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy chickens! Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I look rather like Renée Zellweger.... when she's at her roundest Bridget Jones!! Sorry can't supply a pic - have successfully avoided the camera for a number of years!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alih Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I am supposed to look just like Helen Mirren. Now don't get me wrong, she is gorgeous...but 20 years older than me! It has followed me about for around 20 years and sometimes I agree, sometimes not....but in my job I even have judges telling me and once a defendant asked me if I used to be a police officer I replied no, that was on the telly and this is real court! But, like Claret, I have never done the more risquee things she has done! Will try and dig out a picture for you...and edit when I have!

Christian Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I am quite sick of people coming up to me asking for my autograph. George Clooney must be sick of people asking him about chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I remember seeing my double walking down the street on the opposite side of the road to me a few years ago. I had to do a double take. I was also at school picing up my kids and I thought whats my sister doing here? I was about to say hello, when I realised it wasn't her! But she does look very much like you in the photo.

chelsea Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 A few years ago some bloke stopped my husband and asked if I was Sharon Mitchell from Eastenders (Letitia Dean with short hair) he lurked around us all night and then followed us to a restaurant.

redhotchick Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I once walked past the hall mirror at my parents and thought "Why is my sister wearing my jumper?" I was 2 steps further on before I realised what I had just thought! We have both been stopped by people we don't know, who think we are the other one! If strangers say "Hello" we just say hello back! She's 3" shorter and much prettier than me! we aren't exactly alike at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Many years ago I discovered that some guy had spent an entire evening hiding from me in a night club because I looked so much like someone he had stood up the night before ( I later met the girl in question and we did look very alike considering we were not related in any way (as far as I know!) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackiepoppies Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I was always likened to Rula Lenska many moons ago but unfortunately she has weathered better than me When I was in amateur dramatics (again a long time ago) I played a part where The local rag reckoned I was a dead ringer for Princess Anne If only I had their income, I might have been able to be like that now Jx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 When I went to Montecute many moons ago they had a portrait gallery of really old paintings for an exhibition. One caught my eye and I had to keep going back to it. Unfortunately I couldn't remember who it looked like and the subject was of an unknown woman. When I went back to work I found it was our messenger lady - it could have been a photograph the likeness was uncanny. When DS was 16 and had his prom we obviously made him have his photo taken. Mum has it on her cabinet next to one of my dad in his sailor's outfit at age 18. They could be taken for identical twins! Thankfully DS doesn't look like MIL! As for me, I didn't think there would be room on the planet for two of me! Christian!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry can't supply a pic - have successfully avoided the camera for a number of years!! How bizarre - I have been stopped in the street and told I look like Bridget Jones! Personally I can't see the resemblance (although I do own a pair of VERY big knickers). Perhaps Happy Chickens and I are doppelgangers....
