Mistaken identity

[surreyman]

Have you ever been mistaken for somebody famous ?

For my part when i travel around the country watching my beloved Surrey C.C.C i often get mistaken for former England cricket captain Mike Gatting, even though i am obviously younger and slimmer (cough).

But when a young boy or girl comes up and asks for your autograph (almost certainly at their dad's behest) what else can you do but smile politely and scribble away ?

Shaking stevens

phillip schofield, luckily i got counseling from the samaritans and am not suicidal now.

i heard a bloke on the radio saying his son is so ugly he could be inside out. how to give your kids a complex!!!!!

kt tunstall. I have also been told a look a bit like demi moore

DMA are you free to do a gig at the Dog & Duck Friday night ? �20 cash, 2 pints of beer and a free run at the buffet, what do you say ?

Markja my 25 year old niece has a "thing" about Philip Schofield ( i think it stems from his Gordon the Gopher days ) she's an odd girl, maybe i can hook you two up.

Joko - Lucky you.

Thankyou very much, ahaha!!

Lisa Rogers... think that's the one I mean. The one with the short bobbed hair, done presenting. Only thing is, I don't look anything like her!

[DMA]

I quite like Lisa Rogers. Shes the one who was seeing that bloke from the Royal Family

[mr_pointment]

im often mistaken for george clooney arf

Helen Chamberlin (Is that correct) the bird who does the footie programme.Signed loads of autographs. The best was the bunch of Villa fans I met in Ibiza. Had photos took with me and could'nt wait to get home to tell their mates who they'd met. Bless, they did'nt notice I also had a Brummie accent (Is'nt HC from down south?). They must have thought that was my posh TV voice!!

I have been mistaken for former Liverpool and now Lyon manager Gerard Houllier. I wasn't impressed - he's a good 20 years older than me :-( Why the silly old goat who mistook me for him should think that Gerard Houllier would be working in a shop in Bognor Regis is beyond me.

Someone else thought I looked like Jeff Goldblum (albeit a bit podgier), who is also older than me. So there you have it - a cross between a Frenchman with a dodgy ticker and a man who turned into a fly. Ho hum. Form an orderly queue, ladies.

I was at a car show once and someone thought I was NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon
That was ten years ago. I have changed, he has not.

[laurence2]

i got mistaken for olizargor morvickivic once, i would'nt mind but i look nothing like him.

[waimarie]

I have been mistaken on several occasions for the actor, Denholm Elliot. A bit of a back handed compliment as I point out he has been dead for a couple of years !!

[surreyman]

Mr_pointment that was George and not Rosemary was'nt it ?

Ezapf i would'nt mind being mistaken for Jeff Gordon, he looks quite the hunk.

Treacle i met Lisa Rogers once, she's tiny (but lovely)

Richard Gere,

not so bad in the UK or anywhere else in Europe but a couple of years ago I was in the US and when I wasnt in uniform (I was in the Army then) I was having a devil of a job convincing the good citizens oif Washington and New York that I wasnt putting on a fake Scottish accent for a movie part. Even showing them my I.D card only made them think it was a prop for a hollywood war film

[dilf]

steptoe, i'll not say which one

[lindapinda]

Years ago,when my hair was longer,I was mistaken for one of the twins in Neighbours.I couldn't see it myself ! But I was well pleased!! Like johnlambert,my husband has been referred to as Richard Gere.Its the good head of grey hair that does it!

[rojash]

Many many years ago, I was chased by a crowd of schoolgirls who thought I was Cliff Richard. This was both extremely scary (I hid in the toilets of the bus station), and extremely annoying, as I can't stand the bloke, his face, his hair or his dress style.

[treacle84]

Yeah DMA, that's her. She was seeing Ralf Little I think. Yeah I think she is pretty actually but I don't look like her. Similar hair maybe but that's it :-)

[rosieo]

Several people have told me that I look like (bloody) Davina. Oh joy!x
