    I Look Like (Famous Person), so I've Been Told...

    What famous person do you look like? Idea came about after a funny disagreement a coworker and I had about someone. An eavesdropper threw in a better example of likeness to a celebrity that we all agreed on.

    My younger sister looks a lot like Beyonce'. Not surprising since our families have Creole roots.
    I've been told (only once) I resemble Irene Cara (I don't see it at all) and Stacey Dash (many people have said, and I do agree on some resemblence).

    haha..
    I was told I look like quite few people depending on the hair cut I had.
    Beyonce is one, Hale Berry especially when I wear short hair.
    when I use to go out clubbing, I use to walk into the dancefloor and someone would shout Hale Berry.
    So I had my hit with Hale Berry for quite a while.
    another time it was one the actresses from Desperate Housewives, the brunette one I cannot remember the name.
    I cannot remember the others.

    I do not know Irene Cara.

    I don't know if it's my admiration for Han Solo and Indiana Jones or not, but I think I bear a passive resemblance to Harrison Ford. Not the emphasis on passive. With the right expressions, I can look like Charlie Sheen.

    In one of my YouTube videos, someone commented that I sound like "uberhaxornova." I watched one of uber's videos, and there are a few similarities in our voices. But he's not necessarily a celebrity, so I don't think this counts.

    I look like a plump version of Cher. Ha ha. Same fluffy hair, long skinny nose (except I believe she has had surgery on it) and almost the same voice as well. Obviously she can sing better. Hee hee.
    Only thing that's different is I don't have her gorgeous figure. Ah, I can dream.

    My mates say I look like a much taller and slimmer version of Jack Black; I honestly don't see it. Then again, someone else said I looked like Ellen Page, so who knows -- I might be malleable.

    How odd; to go from Jack Black to Ellen Page.

    It depends on my hair, I guess. When I had chin length locks and scraggly facial hair, people would say I looked like Johnny Depp, which was ridiculous -- I look nothing like him. When I had bangs and somewhat shorter hair, I got Jason Schwartzman. The other day, I got it cut really short and I didn't shave for a few days, and a girl at work said I looked like Steve Jobs, but I think that's more because he was in the news. Plus, I often wear black t-shirts or turtlenecks and jeans, and she conceded that might have something to do with it. I told my wife and she said, no, you don't look like Steve Jobs. Then she added she thought Steve Jobs was kind of handsome. I tried not to take that in a bad way.

    MaggieMoo remember Cher's figure was tidied up by the help of surgery or so I hear.

    True love. If they want to do surgery on me, they wouldn't know where to start from. Even my eyelids would be too much work for them... Ha ha ha

    I've never had anybody say that. Although, since I've just started cutting my hair at 1mm (sorry, but approaching comb-overs [wasn't at that stage] will never be in style), maybe I can be lucky.

    @MaggieMoo : It could be worse. There's every possibility that they might start with a fast-moving semi with me (although ladies seem to like my eyes/eyelashes).

    I'd kill for a blueberry scroll, or maim for a apple one. Alas...

    When my hair was a bit longer than it is now, I was often told I looked like Jody Foster. Now I don't look like anyone but me.

    I can pass for the twin brother of a man down south who is descended from a family of ex-Confederates who settled here after the war. They came in 1867 from Louisiana and Mississippi, settled in the south at a place they named Forest Home, and built the first sugar mill in Belize. Some of them were relatives of my paternal grandfather. His father was a plantation owner in the Old Black Belt, a part of Mississippi named for the rich black soil. I have relatives buiried in the old burying ground at Forest Home. I also have an unused grave dug for me there at the time my appendix burst and I was not expected to live.

    That'd be the ditzy one, Susan Mayer.

    Sorry, I thought you said one of the characters.
