Talking 'bout the man in the mirror...

[Moos]

..but not particularly asking you to change his ways, no no - this is far more superficial, and in every sense of the word.

Prompted by a conversation in the Vale on Friday, I'd like to ask:-

Who do you think you look like?

Who would you like to look like?

Real or fictional, past or present, abstract or simply odd - I look forward to everyone's creative input!

I'll start - people have said I look like Helen Hunt (it's the nose) but I'd rather look like Grace Kelly!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Who I look like: Increasingly, a potato farmer from Co Mayo. Although Dave from the Drum is rather fond of calling me Philip Schofield every time we pass

Who I'd like to look like: Depending on mood Paul Newman/David Bowie/Gabriel Byrne

[ratty]

I look like Keith Gillespie when he played for Newcastle years ago - there is also a bit of Damon Hill thrown in.

I would like to look like Paul Daniels!

[Bellenden Belle]

I get Bjork thrown at me a lot - I think it's the short pixie thing going on.

Pictures of myself aged three and Suri, Tom Cruises and Katie Holmes child, are indistinguishable - I had an ex contact me years later to point this out.

Who would I like to look like? Helena Christensen would be perfect, ta very much!

[Ladygooner]

Someone said at the forum drinks that I looked like Helen Mirren! Obviously I would rather resemble someone younger - Mariella Frostrup perhaps?

[buggie]

Not been compared to anyone recently - back when "Men Behaving Badly" was on use to be told I looked like Caroline Quentin, then a couple of times got told I looked like Sonia from "Eastenders" - much preferred the former!!

As to who I'd like to look like - I'll often see gorgeous brunettes on telly and think if I woke up looking like them things would be good - but annoyingly can't remember any of them at the moment!!

[Keef]

I've been told Che Guevara (especially when I had more hair) by more than one person, but I never really saw it.

Couple of others have suggested Jack Black. Not sure how I feel about that, as I find him really really annoying!

Who I'd like to look like... Hmmm well anyone who's hair wasn't thinning would be a good start!

Dave Grohl maybe, he's pretty cool. Lenny Kravitz is a damned sexy man, but being that I'm white and he's mixed race, I don't really have much hope there :-S

[HonaloochieB]

I think look like a bald Arthur Mullard and I'm with Moos on this one, I'd rather look like Grace Kelly too.

[mockney piers]

People always said I looked like Paul off the Wonder Years.

Actually, a quick look around, and he scrubs up quite well as a grown up

Like to look like? Dunno, always thought Bruce Campbell was quite cool. Di Canio's quite dishy when he's not doing fascist salutes.

[TillieTrotter]

Tanya from EastEnders seems to be my lookalikey, according to some.

Want to look like a young Elizabeth Taylor, Cindy Crawford, Elle MacPherson (sp), Catherine Zeta Jones etc etc etc!

[Nero]

A few years ago, it was said I looked like Jack Dee, but I don't think it applies now.

Would love to look like Cary Grant or Harrison Ford.

[Asset]

I used to get Nastassja Kinski, now I get Jade Goody, hmmmm need to lose a few pounds obviously.

Think I'd quite like the elfin features of Audrey Hepburn, no double chins there! (Andrew captured mine rather splendidly)

[mlteenie]

Before succumbing to glasses I got John Hannah, but then it transmogrified into our local lad, Jimmy Nesbitt. Hmm, not particularly happy about either of them....

On the inside I actually look like Elvis c. '56

[Keef]

Avoid DM, if she mistakes you for Nesbitt you'll get a brick loaded handbag round the head!

[Keef]

Have to say, ever since Mockney Piers posted some photos on flickr from the George Canning, I've always thought Sean Mac had a bit of this about him

http://www.impawards.com/2004/posters/collateral.jpg

I think this is a good thing Sean, he may be a nutter in real life, but he was pretty cool, and evil in that film! >:D<

[SeanMacGabhann]

work is blocking that link so I'll take your word for it Keef!

[david_carnell]

It's this....

Handsome man, Sean!

[david_carnell]

As for me....

According to Bellenden Belle, to whom I am most grateful and very flattered, I'm a young Robert Redford (mrs_david_carnell wishes!!).

According to this piece of gadgetory I'm a 66% match for this fella (although I have no idea who he is:

http://images.askmen.com/men/celeb_profiles_entertainment/42_seann_william_scott.jpg

Not bad. I think it might all be ego massage though. As to who I'd like to look like, anyone tall dark, swarthy and handsome. Us blond chaps get a raw deal in the world of female fantasies!

[SeanMacGabhann]

ha! By the way, have I asked any of you to do a test on Tottenham Court Rd?

[Strawbs]

I dont think Ive ever been told I look like anyone.. :-S

If I could choose it would be a) Angelina jolie b) Natalie Portman c) Jessica Alba or b) Kate Hudson but with much bigger boobs - actually that goes for all of them..

[mockney piers]

He was in bullet proof monk wasn't he?

Strangely it's decided I'm:

a different photo resulted in:

which I'm much happier about, though it's almost as daft as the first choice.

[Moos]

The mind of Kofi, the drinking ability of Peter?

Oh, pussycat....

[david_carnell]

I beleive the 66% likeness I acheived may be attributable to both of us having hair, eyes, a nose and a mouth. The other 44% accounts for all other differences.

Ah, Kofi Piers - how marvellous.

[Keef]

Hmmm, David I have tried that thing with several photos, and have been black and white. I have also been most strongly matched to Matt Damon (Maaaatt Daaaamon), whom I look absolutely nothing like!

I have also been Obama, so I may have great things ahead... :-S

[Brendan]

Well apparently according that website I am 70% this bloke

Although I question its accuracy as it also says I am 60% her
