Can anyone beat this?

While on holiday in Africa, a gentleman informed me (in apparent seriousness) that I resembled Capleton. Anyone on here who has been unfortunate enough to glimpse my pallid, consumptive visage will know that while I may share the Fire Man's views on sexual freedoms*, I certainly don't look like him.

*This bit is a joke.

that's weird, i've always thought you look a bit like bounty killer, it's the kind of tall, gangly gait with a slightly stooped head though, not facially. i can kind of see that facially, with the beard as well, you look a bit like king shango. i'm actually being completely serious here.

There's some website* that lets you submit pics and tells you which celebs you look like. I came up as Matthew Perry, which I didn't get at all until I stared really hard and started to see my dad in him.

My mate who sent it me came up as Omar Sharif and MLK, which seemed a bit harsh on a very attractive, very female Arab.

* can't recall the name

I don't think I have ever, ever looked as cross as Capleton looks pretty much all the time...

I like to think of myself as more, like, y'know, Dougal from The Magic Roundabout*.

*This is a common hippy boast and I don't really think it at all.

My favourite: pissed bloke in a pub said I looked like Julian Cope (specifically when he was in The Teardrop Explodes)

My least favourite: Bar man in a pub in Oxford reckoned I resembled Rick Astley (untrue, and it still hurts...)

Here's as complete a list as I can recall. All of them deeply, deeply unfair:

Shane MacGowan, Keith Moon, Charlotte Church, Hitler.

I've been likened to Withnail* by a number of people independently, so there must be something in it.
Bam Margera from Jackass (I actually *do* look a bit like him, worryingly). [edit: rofl @ mixed_biscuit's 'Steve-O' resemblance!]
Last time I went clubbing properly some guy said I looked like Joe Strummer - it was probably my big jacket with the collar turned up, sweat-slicked hair and sideburns that did it, rather than any facial resemblance, though.


*Richard E. Grant's character in Withnail & I, for the benefit of anyone who's never been a university student in the UK


Edit: when this film was on at the cinema last year, I felt mildly disturbed every time I saw the poster for it, since it made me think of my girlfriend being impregnated by Rory McGrath :eek:

a few years ago i was talking to a friend while walking past the Mann Chinese Theater on Sunset and didn't really even notice the crowds or the red carpet we were walking on until flashes started going off all over the place -- apparently it was a premier of a Jackie Chan movie and i was mistaken for him.

should clarify that all the crowd needed was any asian person. or more likely anyone with black hair. because there are no resemblance between me and Mr. Chan.
