"Excuse me, but are you.......?

Postby Moe » Wed Jan 13, 2010 12:03 pm

Do you look like a sports star or heaven forbid a celebrity?
Has anyone ever told you you look like someone famous or ask you "excuse me are you......?"
Have you ever pretended to be someone and gotten away with it?"

I was once asked (twice in the same night) if i was Josh Mail, Crows rookie & North Adelaide player. Of course i said yes. Embarassing when they send over someone who is a friend of his :oops:

Also the local old bitty down the road is convinced i am Greg Blewett.

In my youth I used to, occasionally, be taken for Barry Creyton from the Mavis Bramston show.
Later in life, when I'd gained a bit of weight and we both had beards, someone would occasionally take me for Derrin Hinch.
There is some resemblance, since we have both slimmed down - based on mutual Cornish ancestry I think.

"Muscles" Creighton? How are you mate? Always wondered what happened to you...er him ;-)

I got asked if I was some Spanish/Latin actor in a fish and chip shop in Athelstone one day.

I think I offended the blushing 18/19 yo old chick behind the counter when I said "yeh, if I was him, what would I be doing in a crummy fish and chip shop in Adelaide".

Quite regularly get told I look like Shannon Noll, but I think only because I've got the bum fluff under my lip like him !!

My wife reckons I'm a dead ringer for Brenton Ragliss, the weather presenter on Channel 9 but don't see where she is coming from with that !!

You've both got heads if that helps :D

Some resemblence to some actor called Myles Pollard apparently. I can't see it, but a few others reckoned they could.
Can you guess where I'm calling from, the Las Vegas Hilton...

I'm a dead ringer for Tin Tin, hence the avatar. Wasn't too happy with it when someone first pointed it out, but I've decided that it's probably easier just to embrace it rather than resist it! :lol:

I got asked if I was Avril Lavigne once - yuck! :( It was about five years ago at Shenannigans, they wanted my bloody autograph and everything.

Still, it's better than who my sister got mistaken for - I had Neighbours on TV and my son thought Bree Timmins was played by his auntie. Sucked in!! :lol:

When I was 19 and all mulletted up a group of teenagers thought I was Gary Ayres - Ironically it was at a park as we were about to kick the footy ... If they watched for another 60 seconds it should have put that stupid notion to rest.

Later in my early 30's a couple of girls behind the bar at the pub used to call me "Tom" seeing some resemblance to Tom Williams from one of those outdoor shows.

Apparently he was a bit of a hit with the ladies so hey, despite the fact there was ZERO resemblance, who was I to complain?? :D
