This is my new visiting teacher:
And, of course, my old pediatrician whom I miss very much:
It’s really starting to creep me out. I’m beginning to think that everybody out there has a double, and all I have to do is wait for my double to get famous so people will offer me free stuff. Or maybe I could just get famous, but really, I just want the free stuff. I don’t want to deal with managers or publicists or paparazzi.
I have, occasionally, been offered congratulations on my gold medal, but nobody gave me any product endorsements, so I’m standing by my assertions that I look nothing like Sarah Hughes.
Well, maybe I do look like her a very little bit. But I would never wear lavendar sequins. It’s not a good color for me.
I had a dermatologist that looked and sounded exactly like Danny Devito. It was very creepy. At least the doubles you get to hand around with are not as scary looking.
Comment #1 by fluffychickySeptember 18th, 2007 at 7:12 amI meant HANG around with, not hand around…although I suppose that could be an interesting thing to do.
Comment #2 by fluffychickySeptember 18th, 2007 at 7:14 amI had a chemistry teacher once who looked like Chevy Chase, except he wasn’t the least bit funny. It was vaguely disturbing — I kept waiting for him to crack a joke, or a smile, at least!
Comment #3 by XenaSeptember 18th, 2007 at 7:54 amYesterday at the grocery store I swear J-Lo was dressed up behind the meat counter and I saw Jack Nicholson come in for a gallon of milk.
Comment #4 by JennySeptember 18th, 2007 at 8:41 amahem, I’ve been told I look like Gweneth Paltrow (when she had darker hair), which I consider a compliment, but then last year in the grocery store, I was told I looked ‘just like’ Jessica Alba. I said, are you sure? “oh yeah” …funny, cuz I was wearing workout clothes, hair pulled in a pony tail because I had no time to do it, and no makeup on. If that doesn’t say Jessica Alba, I don’t know what does.
Comment #5 by amelia bedeliaSeptember 18th, 2007 at 8:49 amMy dad used to get stopped and asked for his autograph all of the time. People thought he was Robert Redford.
Comment #6 by SherrieSeptember 18th, 2007 at 8:54 amAnd speaking of my dad, I was at hamburger joint the other day and saw a guy drive up who looked so much like my dad that I had to check the license plate to be sure it wasn’t him. Maybe it was Robert Redford.
You DO look a little like Sarah Hughes!! I never noticed before, but you DO!
Comment #7 by Tracy MSeptember 18th, 2007 at 9:21 amAn old boyfriend of mine told me I looked like Uma Thurman. A friend then said, “He’s obviously in love with you. You’re cute as a button, Heather, but you’re no Uma.”
Comment #8 by Heather O.September 18th, 2007 at 9:49 amMy former neighbor was a professional Jack Nicholson double. I didn’t believe it until he showed me his picture was he was done up to look like Jack. He used to go stand around at parties pretending to be him. I guess he didn’t have to say much, just smile occasionally. He made a ton of money doing it.
Comment #9 by Mrs MSeptember 18th, 2007 at 10:16 amIn high school, they said I looked like Molly Ringwald. I never really saw it though. When a friend got home from his mission to Oregon, he said that there was a girl there that looked just like me too. I get that a lot. A guy in my ward says that I look like the Hannah Storm from CBS, ‘The Early Show’. Who knows, it’s all subjective.
Comment #10 by All8September 18th, 2007 at 10:58 amI thought the picture of Sarah Hughes was Reba McIntyre in her youth. Nobody else see this?
Comment #11 by RaySeptember 18th, 2007 at 11:00 amMy Dad looks like O.J. Simpson. Do you notice how he’s always smiling in his mug shots (O.J. not my dad)? Creepy.
Comment #12 by eSeptember 18th, 2007 at 11:18 amI’ve been told that I look like Keira Knightley, but only in her “Bend It Like Beckham” role which is probably one of her less attractive roles. Oh well, I’ll take it any way I can get it!
And is that first picture of Jodi Foster? Cuz that doesn’t even look like her! I recently read a rant she went on about how stupid Lindsey Lohan is and it made me like Jodi so much better.
Comment #13 by StarababaSeptember 18th, 2007 at 11:57 amI used to be friends with a guy who looked exactly like Charlie Sheen. It was very weird.
Comment #14 by dangermomSeptember 18th, 2007 at 12:11 pmamelia bedelia -
I have to say, I don’t think Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Alba look anything alike. How could you look like both of them?
Ooh- Starababa, I would LOVE to look like Keira Knightley. Lucky you. Yes, that first pic is of Jodi Foster. I picked that one because that is what my v.t.er’s hair looks like.
e- I’m sorry your dad looks like O.J. I hope nobody asks him who the ‘real’ killer is.
Comment #15 by The WizSeptember 18th, 2007 at 12:23 pmI was told once that everyone has a double somewhere in the world. I guess some peoples double is a little closer and more famous than others!
Comment #16 by TrixieSeptember 18th, 2007 at 12:28 pmI look very much like Melissa Gilbert, the actress that played Laura Ingalls — only not the grown-up Melissa Gilbert (she’s quite beautiful). Just the little Melissa Gilbert in the TV show. Scrawny (well, I *was* before three children), freckled, long brown hair in braids…yup, I’m the grown-up little Laura. There are worse people in the world to look like, I guess.
Comment #17 by KerynSeptember 18th, 2007 at 2:50 pmWow, y’all are good looking. I look a lot like Prairie Dawn on Sesame Street.
Comment #18 by SueSeptember 18th, 2007 at 3:47 pmWhen I was younger (skinny with hair), I was the spitting image of Tom Burlinson - the guy who played Jim (the lead character) in “The Man from Snowy River”. When he turned in the stable at the beginning of the movie and she saw his profile, my girlfriend (now my wife) looked over at me with her jaw on the floor. I always thought I missed my calling in life, since everyone who saw the movie said I could have been his double.
Comment #19 by RaySeptember 18th, 2007 at 4:40 pmWow, Ray. You’re hot!
Comment #20 by Heather O.September 18th, 2007 at 5:36 pmWhen I was in high school I was told I looked a lot like Julia Roberts, 10 years and 4 kids later and I think I more resemble Queen Latifah than Julia Roberts! LOL I had a step uncle that looked just like Sean Connery!
Comment #21 by LeiGulSeptember 18th, 2007 at 6:14 pmHeather, I’m glad my wife still thinks so, but that was way too many pounds and hairs ago to be true now. Now, I’m lukewarm - at best.
Comment #22 by RaySeptember 18th, 2007 at 6:49 pmMy husband says I looked like Elizabeth Shue when we were dating and pre-kids…
Comment #23 by lammyannSeptember 18th, 2007 at 6:55 pm*sigh*
I probably look like her mother or grandmother now…
Oh, I DO know a look alike. When I was 19 I dated a guy who looked EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY like Eric Stoltz in Some Kind of Wonderful. I really liked guys with red hair and I thought he was hot. He was a huge jerk though. (Er… the guy I dated, not Eric Stoltz. I have no idea if Eric Stolz is a jerk or not.)
Comment #24 by SueSeptember 18th, 2007 at 8:17 pmThat photo of Jodie Foster looks incredibly similar to my daughter’s new 3rd grade teacher.
Comment #25 by meemsSeptember 19th, 2007 at 12:02 am20 years ago, my husband would have people stop him in the street, at parties, in stores, everywhere, to tell him he looked like Tom Cruise. I thought that was such a turn on. Nowadays, I’m not so sure, what with Tom turning out to be kind of weird. Also, the 20 years has um, separated their dopplegangerness, if you can imagine. My husband’s still cute, but, well, you know. Nevermind, I’m just getting myself into trouble.
My husband and I like to play a game with who would play our friends in a movie- I can’t think of anyone who is a dead ringer, but several of our friends ‘favor’ a movie star.
Comment #26 by claireSeptember 19th, 2007 at 8:30 amMy grandpa (recently deceased) looked exactly like Walter Matthau. I think it was his bushy moustache and eye brows. He would have people approach him at the mall, restaurants, etc. asking for his autograph, which he signed with his own name. He said it was especially interesting after the actor passed away.
Comment #27 by KimarooSeptember 19th, 2007 at 11:00 amI have been told I look like Cameron Diaz, but the funniest was when a very loud and boistrous “lady” mentioned it to me outside of a grocery store. She then proceeded to talk to a man who apparently had been her teacher years before. When he didn’t recognize her, she whispered loudly, “I used to be a boy” After hearing that, I wasn’t quite sure what to think or if I should take her compliment seriously. Oh well, one can dream.
Comment #28 by AngieSeptember 19th, 2007 at 1:09 pmIf we’re claiming doubles, I’m the spittin’ image of Elle McPhearson. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Comment #29 by jamisueSeptember 19th, 2007 at 2:07 pmpeople always say I remind them of so and so (their cousin, an old neighbor, etc). Just once I’d like someone to remind people of ME.
Comment #30 by mo mommySeptember 19th, 2007 at 2:37 pmI once had a boss who looked like Burt Reynolds. And a guy in our ward looks like Mr Incredible, does that count as a celebrity?
Yah, can I be Jennifer Aniston!?! Only with 3 kids and 40 extra pounds??
What’s that you say…I can’t. Oh well, I’ll settle for Courtney Cox.
:)
Comment #31 by mommyto3September 19th, 2007 at 2:44 pmI don’t look like anybody famous, but lots of people have told me I look like a friend of theirs. I think I have one of the seven most ordinary faces on the planet. Not beautiful enough to be famous, but common enough that everyone knows someone who looks like me.
Comment #32 by MelindaSeptember 19th, 2007 at 3:05 pmMy urologist is a dead ringer for George Clooney–voice as well as looks. It completely unravels me.
I look like nobody famous except a cop, who was clearly blind as a bat, once stutteringly told me I looked like Nicole Kidman. This was when I was about 50 lbs skinnier, mind you, and had the same haircut as her. The only real similarity is the hair color and the overtly high forehead. Nonetheless, I cling to that one moment of feeling beautiful. I had whiplash from an accident, but at least I looked hot for once in my life!
Comment #33 by JanetSeptember 19th, 2007 at 5:36 pmMy homebuilder looks EXACTLY like George Costanza from Seinfeld except he has a full head of hair and his brother, the architect for our future home, looks quite a bit like the actor who played J. Peterman, also on Seinfeld. (After some roundabout questioning, I found out that they have the same mother but different fathers, which explains a lot).
Comment #34 by CarolynSeptember 19th, 2007 at 7:34 pmI have been laughing while reading this post because just last night (before reading this post) I remembered how people always told me I looked just like a girl in a music video from the 80’s (Terence Trent D’Arby’s “Wishing Well”). So many people told me that I looked like her & i never saw the video. So, thank you, YouTube…I saw her last night at last. I got teary eyed, knowing I USED to look a bit like that. The other one I would hear a lot is “you look like Paulina Porizkova, the supermodel.” I wish!!
Janet–how could you possibly see a urologist that looks like George Clooney? That would be like going to Brad Pitt for pap smears!!
Upload a picture onto this website and it will run face recognition software on you and tell you what celebrity you look like. Apparently I look like Charlize Theron, but like you I have no product endorsement offers, boo.

Comment #35 by LindseySeptember 20th, 2007 at 5:49 amI’ve been told that I look like Kate Winslet. But according to the link Lindsey left, I don’t look like anybody. The website won’t recognize my face. I uploaded several different pictures and my husband, sister, and even some random person standing in the background all were “recognized” by the site, but not mine. It doesn’t detect my face even when I’m the only one there staring straight at the camera! It was really cool for everyone else, and proved to my husband that he really does look like Brandon Fraizer. But it’s hilarious that it won’t even recognize me as having a face.
Comment #36 by PowersThatBeSeptember 20th, 2007 at 6:27 amAccording to that link, I look like Ray Romano.
Comment #37 by Heather O.September 20th, 2007 at 6:49 amI just did it again, with a different photo, and this it told me I look like Amerie. Who is beautiful, yes, but happens to also be African American.
Comment #38 by Heather O.September 20th, 2007 at 6:54 amAccording to that website I look like Richard Gear!!! HA! I guess that is why I get mistaken for a guy when I go to the store without any makeup on:) On the other hand, it said my husband looks like Robert Downy Jr. I can see that.
Comment #39 by TrixieSeptember 20th, 2007 at 7:03 amFirst of all, I didn’t have a face. Then I look like Michael Rosenbaum, whoever that is.
Comment #40 by The WizSeptember 20th, 2007 at 7:06 amAccording to that link, I look like a cross between Bridget Moynahan (?) and Johnny Depp. *sigh* OK, this is too much fun! Abby looks like Bette Midler, and David looks like a cross between James Gandolfini and Vincent D’Onofrio…
Comment #41 by Tracy MSeptember 20th, 2007 at 7:15 amOOOh, I did it again, and THIS time I looked like Pamela Anderson!! Sweeeeettt! It was a pic of me and my dad, and apparently, my dad looks like Stephen Hawking.
Oh, and Tracy, Bridget Moynihan is the second celebrity for me.Right after Pamela. This is just worth hours and hours of time wasting.
Comment #42 by The WizSeptember 20th, 2007 at 7:21 amOK, Jeff looks like Clara Bow, and Beanie loooks like (80%!) Leonardo Di Caprio. Could be far, far worse, eh?
Comment #43 by Tracy MSeptember 20th, 2007 at 7:25 amJ looks like Giorgio Armani.
I am walking away from the computer now. See me walk away. Walk away, walk away, walk away….
Comment #44 by Heather O.September 20th, 2007 at 7:37 amI don’t think I look like anyone famous and I haven’t uploaded a photo to try the link, but my “wasted” time has been reading the comments from y’all and laughing hysterically! This is great fun!
“I am walking away from the computer now. See me walk away. Walk away…” Classic, Heather!
I needed the excuse to smile and laugh, so thanks to all of you!
Comment #45 by Michelle AMSeptember 20th, 2007 at 8:21 amApparently, I look like (a much heavier version of) Heath Ledger.
Maybe, Heather O., I should focus on losing weight, growing my hair back and returning to the hottie I once was.
Comment #46 by RaySeptember 20th, 2007 at 9:00 am“cross between James Gandolfini and Vincent D’Onofrio” - Sorry, still trying to picture that face and not getting anywhere.
Comment #47 by RaySeptember 20th, 2007 at 9:03 amAccording to that website, my mil looks like Chelsea Clinton and Marilyn Manson! hahahaha! I’m laughing my guts out right now!
Comment #48 by CheckersSeptember 20th, 2007 at 11:26 amCheckers-
Me too! LOL! Are you going to share with her that information?
Comment #49 by Heather O.September 20th, 2007 at 11:42 amOh, If I can find one of the glamour shots my MIL took a few years ago, I’m totally going to run her through!!!
Comment #50 by Tracy MSeptember 20th, 2007 at 12:53 pmOK, that is SO fun. Apparently I look like Jamie Lynn Spears or Kelly Clarkson. Ha.
Comment #51 by SueSeptember 20th, 2007 at 3:58 pmFYI, there’s also a place on My Heritage where you can put in a picture of you, DH, and one of your children and it’ll tell you which one of you the child looks more like. The results might surprise you (and not because there’s a place that says “DS looks 57% more like the milkman.)
Comment #52 by StarababaSeptember 20th, 2007 at 6:38 pmOh, these are too funny and I really needed the laughs. When I was a bit thinner I looked a bit like Lauren Bacall in the 1940’s. However, that was only full face. If I turn profile I have this beak of a nose that ruins the whole thing. My sister has the exact same nose. We don’t know where it came from because we are the only ones on both sides with this thing hanging on our faces.
Comment #53 by JJSeptember 27th, 2007 at 10:14 amA few years a go we had some visiters at Church from the South. A man who worked in the music industry turned and stared at DH when he walked into the foyer and heard him talking. The guy swore that DH looked and sounded just like the Oakridge boys. Alas, DH cannot sing!!
[…] Well, the doubles continue. Last Tuesday we fed the missionaries, and I swear to you Matt Damon was one of them. You know, a younger Matt Damon. Apparently, he’s Mormon now and on a mission. (How Mormon rumors get started……) […]
Pingback #54 by Mormon Mommy Wars » Of Crunch Berries and CarsDecember 1st, 2007 at 7:55 amThe first half of the year, the Los Angeles Lakers game against the New Orleans Hornets, Bryant into crazy score. He came to New Orleans with 13 points short, and won his 13 and 14:00 short jumper 1:16 into the first half.
