Title: Do you have a doppelganger?
Post by: muwarrior69 on July 14, 2016, 06:57:18 PM
When I was younger a lot of my friends and family said I looked like Glenn Campbell.

I haven't let my hair grow long enough to get my curls back since high school but when I did have longer hair it got curly and people used to say I looked like Shia LaBouef or Luke Ridneur. I'm pretty sure it was just the curly hair though.

And more recently one of my coworkers went around convincing some of my other coworkers that I look like "a young Tom Brady." I guess it could be worse. Just waiting for "a young Gisele" to come calling...

There was a stretch from about 1999-2001 where I looked amazingly like Bruce Willis. Both of us started shaving our heads at about the same time, we are about the same age and there was a serious resemblance.

Several people told me I looked like Willis but the wildest was this one: I went to the 2000 NBA All-Star Game in Oakland and was checking into my hotel in San Fran; a guy stopped me in the lobby and called me Bruce. I laughed at first and said something like, "I get that a lot." But he wouldn't let up. He bothered me for about 5 minutes until I finally pulled out my driver's license to show him who I really was.

Later that year, the movie "Unbreakable" came out and my wife and kids and I went to see it. As we sat there in the dark theater and Willis came on the screen, I actually was taken aback by how much he looked like me. A second or two later, my daughter said, out loud, "Oh my God ... he really does look like you, Dad! Oh! My! God!" It was pretty surreal ... until the people around us began shushing us.

As time passed, we looked less like each other though. Still a resemblance, but not like it was back then. Probably because I have more of a belly now!

When I was in college, on two separate occasions, a drunk girl told me I looked like Tom Selleck (Magnum PI).

At our 30th reunion, a couple years ago, a drunk wife of one of my friends told me I looked like Rodney Dangerfield.

So I figure I'm somewhere in between.

I've been told I look like a number of different people who don't look alike at all, so I'm guessing I don't really look like anyone.

Anywhere from Jake Gyllenhaal (I wish, but not even close) to Emilio Estevez (nope) to Clint Dempsey (again, no). I'm beginning to question my mirror.

In your friend's defense, most of us - after a few pints - would probably mistake any guy lying on the public house floor with a bloodied face at closing time for you.

Let me start by saying that this is an outstanding offseason thread.

I'm all over the board in terms of being told I look like someone but there's really no one I get consistently. It's been Luke Wilson to Jim Caveziel to Edward Norton to even Aaron Rodgers. I don't really see any of these but apparently there are lot of guys out there with brown hair and a narrow nose.

Several years ago I did get Ryan Gosling from my wife's co-worker...but I'm pretty sure that was just because my wife looks like Rachel McAdams and those two were a couple.

I did get Shia LaBeouf when I had long, curly hair and he had his for "Holes," but his curls were tighter.  I got Luke Ridnour from my group of friends when he was at Oregon.  His curls were tighter but at least that was relatively close, so I guess I could understand that just based on the hair.  And one coworker did get 2 or 3 others to think that I looked like a "young Tom Brady," but my guess is if you polled a thousand people they might be the only 3 or 4 to say I look anything like him.  I can't say I've really gotten anyone else.
