Thanks to Martian for inspiring this one, as I do get Mr. Bean a lot, or Harry Potter.
For men and for ladies - what are some of the typical comparisons you've recieved? What have been some of the more obscure/funny ones? I got Hugh Grant once too.
They say I look like that crazy guy in The Road Warrior.
kevin costner sometimes
david bern from some band called 'the talking heads', had someone ask me for an autograph at an airport, have no idea who he is.
Vyborg:
That's David Byrne and their most famous song is (probably) 'Psychokiller', nice song from the album 'Stop making Sense', and his solo album 'The Catherine Wheel' is stunning as is his collaboration with Brian Eno on 'My Life in the Bush of Ghosts'. Please accept my recommendations, however late.
ambivalentmace:
scary, he does look like me, although im not quite as gray as he is now. age difference is 10 years. his photos in youth even look like me. guess i should have paid more attention, the music is good also, but taste change with age.
everything from Mick Jagger to James Bond martini anyone. shaken not stirred of course
'Your eyes are blue' 5 -10Y olds say. I reply: 'I don't think so. I see green!'
At least once per fortnight someone tells me I look like Vladimir Putin, which is not so bad, though I'm half his age. And at least once per week someone tells me I look very innocent, like a baby.
Now for my big finale:
I've been told twice that I look like Brad Pitt. Unfortunately, the first person to tell me this went on to say "...the crazy one from 12 Monkeys", which totally destroyed the experience.
So if you can imagine an innocent-looking Brad Pitt / Putin baby, that's what I look like.
Wow I'm impressed with variations here. Usually all I and my friends hear is a mixture of two or three people.

Well now i'm kind of fed up; everyone else gets Brad Pitt, Kevin Costner and a load of other really cool ones and I get Mr Bean. Where's the justice?
My partner constantly got HALLY POTTAH!!! all through Asia, because he's a skinny white guy with dark hair... it entertained the f*ck out of me and drove him crazy.
Always.... A younger version of Putin. I remember a guy stopping me on the street, and telling me "Dude, you're a Putin's clone !". Never an hesitation, it's always Putin.
Apparently Kate Middleton, I've been told..
diverdude1:
that made me go look on the internet to see who she is/ what she looked like....
Hot? yep. Elegant, classy looking lady too.
slice_999_k:
Yeh she's a looker, I don't look anthing like her though, i look more like a foot.
Everything from George Clooney to Mr Bean. (That last one hurt).
Hedda Hopper ... you probably never heard of her..unless you are from LA.
My wife likes Nicholas Cage and Vin Diesel, but she says I'm more handsome than either of them. I agree. And I've also heard Harry Potter coz of my glasses, Mr. Bean, and Thomas the Tank Engine because of my first name. Filipinos called me Papa Jesus once. And an old Chinese man said he hates Japanese while pointing at me! I probably don't resemble any of the aforementioned.
Elephant Man & sometimes Quasimodo.
mArtiAn:
The Elephant Man? How about that, that's what my wife said 'I' looked like when I was getting undressed the other night. Waha! Then she took 'her' kit off and I pointed and said "Waddayaknow? Don King."
Actually the wife told me recently I looked just like Hugh Grant after i'd decided to wear my hair like he does. Well...her actual words were "You look like a huge c**t."
diverdude1:
lmao. he is a self-absorbed git,,, but for some reason I like his damn movies !
...perhaps it had something to do with what Hugh did 18 years ago?...or should I say, "What was done to him."
