Funny Party Ice Breaker

My life went on for a long time without ever being given a celebrity lookalike. Until the Game of Thrones show got popular, and now I hear that I look like Maisie Williams all the time!

A while back when Grey’s Anatomy was new and big, I got Ellen Pompeo a lot. Like stopped in the grocery store.

Ever since Les Miserables (film version) came out, I consistently get told I look like Amanda Seyfried. We both have plain faces and ver large blue eyes, so I can see the resemblance.
I’ve gotten other random ones over the years- but the common thread is always huge eyes!

I once walked into a crowded pub where a cover band was playing to a drunk crowd. When the singer spotted me, he immediately stopped singing to tell me I looked like a blonde Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny. I was in my early twenties at the time and had to Google the reference. Her big eyes and full cheeks looked a lot like mine. I’ve always felt self-conscious about my soft, round face but now I just think about Marisa Tomei and how beautiful her face was in those Google image results.

I get Sarah Silverman, which is definitely just because I have long dark hair and strong eyebrows.

I don’t really get anyone ever :( I wish I did! But my fraternal twin sister always used to get Uma Therman, which I still see.

Funnier though, my sisters and I were in Montreal a couple years ago and went to a cute boutique in Mile End. The shop people were following my twin around and saying things to her like “anything you need…”, while totally ignoring me and my other sister. When we were leaving they were like “are you Rachelle Lafavre!?” I had never heard of her but apparently she is a French Canadian actress from Twilight. It was a hysterical thing to witness!

Nobody, but my cousin looks like Zooey Deschanel, bangs and all.

I get Katherine Heigl quite a lot, and once a VERY handsome man told me I looked like Seven of Nine (Star Trek) – why thank you, sir!

in that photo, your friend Kavi kinda looks like kate micucci if kate had long hair!

My family all say I look like Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman, so I guess that’s what I’ll be for Halloween!! What’s funny is I’m half Palestinian, while she’s Israeli – I think we’re not so different!

Do I get any points for knowing that the guy eating spaghetti in the top picture is the great violinist Yehudi Menuhin?

I’m all Ross Geller, from Friends, but I can pull off a pretty good Ali G when needed at Halloween.

I’ve gotten a few…Sandra Bullock, Calista Flockhart, Alicia Keys, but the one I get the most is Jennifer Love Hewitt. As we get older we look less alike, but in the aughts we looked so much alike it made me uncomfortable to look at her! I once changed my Facebook profile pic to a photo of her and everyone thought it was me. It only stung a little that everyone thought it was the best picture of me ever taken. Haha.

Haha… Seth Rogin is spot on!

I’ve been getting Debbie Reynolds for 30 years! Guess I’m growing old like her – cannot complain!

Echoing some similar sentiments regarding the challenge of this game as a minority but I still love seeing the resemblances of others and celebs! Being of mixed race, the closest personality I ever came close to looking like is Alicia Keys, especially when I was younger living in the Caribbean and would get my hair plaited/braided (braiding usually meant braided extensions).

My stunning mother has, for decades, been commonly compared to Princess Diana. The hair cut, the piercing eyes, the gracefulness – it’s dead on! My sister found this hilarious pillow in a thrift store awhile ago with Princess Di’s face stitched on and now we always have a “Omg – it’s ma!” moment when we visit her.

Oh man, I don’t think I look like anyone famous, but I look like SOMEONE everyone knows (cousin, brother’s ex-girlfriend, college roommate).

My brother, however, is a dead ringer for Adam Savage from Myth Busters.

I’ve been told Bryce Dallas Howard and Kirsten Dunst. :)

Oh no! Is looking like a pale vampire a good thing!?

Joanna you also remind me of Carly Simon!

When I was little I looked like the girl in Little Miss Sunshine, and I got that a lot. As I grew up, I tend not to get any comparisons.

Right after Love Actually came out, I was told several times I looked like the mom backstage at the end of the movie (ie, Claudia freakin’ Schiffer). I am not blonde and not super model pretty but I’ll take it! Also, any time I straighten my crazy frizzy curly hair my sister tells me I look like Aunt Becky (Lori Loughlin) from Full House.
