Q: What celebrities/Western personalities do Chinese people say you look like?

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.

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.

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.

mArtiAn:

  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?

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.

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."

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
