Unfortunately when I was younger and Take That were in there pomp I apparently looked like Gary Barlow!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I apparently looked like Ewan MacGreagor at one point, but I most certainly wasn't mistaken for him!

As for Wiggo though, forget it!!

Did you get the girls throwing themselves at you because of it?

I didn't like to be compared to him and one night I did have a very nice looking woman start chatting me up, then said I looked like Gary Barlow and I went off in a sulk lol

To get it twice there must some resemblance somewhere ..... A mate of mine used to think he looked like Morrisey and did his hair the same, He was in a pub and someone said you look a bit like.......

Bryan Ferry

been mistaken for...
Bob Geldof once, in his Boontown Rats days... it was a bloke and a woman in a pub. I was sat on me own nursing a pint and a book, waiting to meet someone later on.
And some bloke who I don't even know from a band that used to be big on the mod circuit. Bloke at Dingwalls offered to buy me a pint. Never one to turn down a free pint, i accepted, and we got chatting. When it turned out I wasn't who he thought I was, we had a laugh about it, and I bought him a pint back!

Never mind being mistaken for someone famous, what if you are famous but people just don't recognise you...?

I have had one or two people say I look like a daffodil. A few times actually, well, quite a lot, they still do.

When I was much younger I had a passing resemblance to Suede guitar-botherer, Bernard Butler. That certainly never did me any harm. I've been told (on here) that I look like Robert Downey Jr. I can sort of see it.

Isn't that the best kind of famous like really bigname authors?.... no one bothers you unless you tell them your name.... but you have the money and your name can get the best tables in posh restaurants

I'm forever being mistaken for Tom Cruise.
Not because I'm good looking, just because I'm not very tall...

Sorry think I've been thick that is Billy Connolly to compare to your avatar (is that right, forgive me I've been at work all day)
