Doppelgangers R Us

Diary of the Dad has tagged me in a meme whereby you have to admit to all those famous folks you’ve ever been compared to.

Growing up with long, red hair it is hardly surprising that alongside the teasing I have been compared to anyone else who had the misfortune to ‘grow up ginger’.  So I offer you my ‘doppelgängers’….

Sarah Ferguson.  I was only 12 in 1985 when they got married, but (can’t believe I’m admitting this) I did used to wear a velvet bow to half-tie my hair back and despite my youth I would often get ‘Oooh – you look like Fergie!’  Cheers for that.

Julia Roberts.  This only happened once and it was a boy/man at work who was hoping that flattery would get him everywhere.  It didn’t.

Gillian Anderson.  Forget looking like Scully, let me at Mulder…….! (Have  Had a bit of a crush on David Duchovny)

Julianne Moore.  This lovely lady is someone I have been compared to ever since she was in Nine Months with Hugh Grant  way back in 1995.  That’s 17 years of ‘OMG – you look just like that actress…..’.  I am ALWAYS flattered.

Gillian Murphy.  She is prima ballerina with the New York City ballet and recently my cousin was on a yacht with her (as you do…) and said it was the most bizarre experience as she looked just like me.  I’ll take that one….;)

Jerry Hall.  This is a new one on me, but with a twist.  Someone at Britmums Live exclaimed this just a few weeks ago.  Bizarrely, in her youth my mum looked JUST like Jerry Hall.  So there you go.

I will leave you with a melee of faces – I make a rare appearance in there…..

and I pass the baton on to:

Do with it what you will…..
