Family Resemblances?
May 1, 2019 at 5:56 pm
Do you or anyone in your family look like someone famous?
I ask because we just got a couple of boxes of old family stuff from NI. The wife was leafing through one of the old photo albums and asked, 'Why did your family have all these pictures of Arthur Lowe?' It was my maternal grandfather, who looked enough like Lowe that people would frequently ask him for his autograph (Ellen never met him).
Herself looks a lot like Tamsin Grieg, but much taller. I've been told that in a dark, smoke-filled room, if you squint a bit, I look almost, but not completely unlike Liam Neeson.

My sister is a dead ringer for Winston Churchill. My brother looks like Howard the Duck.

My mom observed that my brother strongly resembles The Dude, and my ex-wife was fond of comparing my appearance to David Koresh, but she was trolling IMO (long hair, glasses, and being unshaven is enough I guess)

Growing up as kids, one of my sisters (Aphro) was always confused for a Chinese girl.
Once she grew into her face, she now looks normal. (for a Greek I mean! lol).

I was once told by an extremely drunk guy, with extremely bad eyesight that I look like Lucy Liu...

A lady told me I looked like Satan. My eyebrows tend to curl up.

I have been told I look like Robert Deniro. I have also been told I look like C. Everett Koop.

My brother looks like Bull Shannon (Richard Moll) from the show Night Court. Not now but when the show was running. My brother has much less hair than Richard Moll does now.
And he's always in a uniform too since he's a prison guard. Sort of a doofas like the character too.
