- Deron Bauman: It’s a start.

- Deron Bauman: Meow.
- Joel Bernstein: This must be why I fuck so many cats.

with links if possible.
Just last week someone in Dubuque, Iowa said, “You manage a band, don’t you?” Apparently I resemble someone who manages a band in Dubuque. I regret to say that I cannot provide a link.
I have been told that I look like Hugh Laurie. Other than my blue eyes, this confuses me (for profile, see this).
And on a few occasions I was told that I look like the son of the lead character in The Commish when it was on the air. This is, apparently, Kaj-Erik Eriksen, but I never knew who it was or what he looked like until today.
I think almost anyone can look like Hugh Laurie. Shoot, I bet I could look like Hugh Laurie if I wanted to.
That’s what I am saying.
John Cale, but only if I’m in my Icky Twerp glasses.
I really do look like Schlitze the pinhead if I do my hair up right.
Genetic combination of John Cale and Icky Twerp.
What Sheila’s not saying is that she is the new incarnation of Schlitze.
The Fifth Ramone.
I’ve been told I look like Kevin Bacon my whole life. Recently I was told it was the Footloose version specifically.
Dang, Kyle. I live with someone who’s been told the very same thing. He’s also been told he looks like Johnny Depp.
It can be hard on a girl. You get thinking you gotta be Kyra Sedgwick or Vanessa Paradis.
Fuck it.
Jerry Seinfeld. :/
At ‘flockstock, Amy said I look like Ben Kingsley. I took it as a great compliment.
I’m scrunching my hair up in a microcepahlic topknot and letting my pinhead freak flag fly.
I have been fighting to embed a URL from work and, for whatever reason, I can’t seem to make it work. So Deron will embed for me!
I don’t look like Meg White, but I I used to look pretty much exactly like this image of her in a Marc Jacobs ad of a few years ago. To the point that I heard from people asking what was up with that ad.
I’ve always thought Deron looked a lot like Johnny Depp (especially when Deron’s hair was longer). It’s not so much that they look alike, but their voices and mannerisms are very much the same to me. It’s like they each have a kind of zen aura about them. I’m curious if Amy or anyone else sees this, too.
When I first met Daryl, he looked very much like John Lennon in his Sgt. Pepper stage. http://home.att.net/~chuckayoub/the_beatles_video_10.htm
An artist friend drew a portrait of Daryl and later admitted he drew it from a John Lennon photo.
Thanks in advance, Deron, for doing what I can’t manage to do!
Sheila, although we’ve never met, I think of you as looking like a more voluptuous Tilda Swinton.
Cindy, I definitely see you in that image.
I’ve been told Depp, the dude from the Foo Fighters, and India compared me to a sheriff I think on Deadwood.
Some people have said that I look a little like Eric Clapton. He has more hair on top than I do in this picture.
Well, Cindy, Cooper briefly appears to have thought I looked like Monica Vitti, as he believed what I’d posted as my ideal was in fact reality.
I could go for Tilda Swinton, you bet. I’m albino enough. But you’re right — I’m fleshier than Tilda.
Oh, you do resemble Dave Grohl (whom I prefer to think of as the drummer for Nirvana, although you do resemble him more in his Foo Fighters stage). You’re a lot more Depp to me, though.
That Eric Clapton. He never even looks like himself.
Yes, Cindy, I see Johnny Depp in Deron also, and the way you’ve described it is pretty much spot on. Just like Deron doesn’t really look like Dave Grohl exactly, there is something about him that reminds me of Deron.
Sheila, when Deron and I watched the The Wire, I kept saying, why didn’t Sheila tell us she was in this HBO series?
Cindy really looked like that picture of Meg White. Mia was about three when that picture appeared in a magazine; I showed it to her and asked–who is that ? Miimmy, she said. (Mimmy is Mia’s name for Cindy.) And when I first saw it I thought–damn, Cindy has another career on the side….
I have, on multiple occasions, from entirely separate people, been told that I provoke thoughts of Seth Green. Not sure how I feel about that, though I think it’s more about mannerisms than pure looks.
I also got lots of Michael J. Fox comparisons in the ’80s, but that was a lot about mannerisms too. Also my obsession with Back to the Future. And that I’m three feet tall.
Andrew, you are much more a Kaj-Erik Eriksen than a Hugh Laurie.
Cindy, how was it working with Marc Jacobs? You look great in that ad.
I can totally see Daryl as John Lennon.
Working with Jacobs and Juergen Teller was okay, although apparently I was kind of sad that day. I guess they didn’t pay me enough or something.
Amy, you remind me of Kara DioGuardi, except you’re even more beautiful than she is. You both have very expressive faces.
I wish I could embed. This sucks.
One friend has suggested the the Hugh Laurie comparison is more about mannerisms and personality. This, too, confuses me.
Daryl reminds me of Clapton too, though it may be more the beard and glasses (and Clapton when he’s short-haired) than the shape of the head. I think Clapton’s head is a little squarer than Daryl’s.
And yes, there is a Deron/Depp thing going on.
Now, Cindy, is Meg White the White Stripes woman? (I don’t listen to them. Sorry.) Definitely some mojo going on there.
Allegedly I look like Sebastian Coe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Coe) or Daniel Day Lewis. I think it’s the big nose.
Yes, Coop, that’s the Meg White we’re talking about. I really look nothing like her, except in this one photo. Also, she has big boobies. And my eyebrows are better. And her forehead is kind of strange. But, you know, other than that….
I like the White Stripes, by the way. Jack White is amazing.
Chris, I would say that’s a damn fine way to look.
You know, another interesting question is: who would you want to look like?
I like Jack White, too, Cindy.
I don’t look much like him, though. Nor Meg White.
Daryl, that’s easy! Who would I want to look like? I done already said in this very thread — Monica Vitta, circa 1965 or so. Failing that, maybe Jeanne Moreau.
Cindy and I agree, Sheila–you and Jeanne Moreau are a couple of peas in a pea holder. In this picture she has the full complement of looks and looks, a life entirely ready for anything behind that expression.
When I had shorter hair and was thinner friends said that I looked like Ivan Lendl.
Dang, Phil. I can actually see that.
In the mid 80s I did have my hair very short, not unlike Lendl.
Peas in a pea holder! I love that expression. Loved when I first read it in a comment of Cindy’s.
And I will go to sleep with a smile on my face tonight knowing y’all think me and Jeanne Moreau is a couple of peas in a pea holder.
Pre-blonde Holly Hunter. But I think more accent-mannerisms than looks maybe. People insisted I was onscreen in “Broadcast News.”
Sheila, when you become Jeanne Moreau, just don’t go to that island with your doctor cousin.
House. Of. Pain.
The truth revealed by Rick.
Yakety-yak. (Don’t talk back.)
My Martin relatives have a monthly newsletter, that I receive. It’s title? Wait for it.
The Yakety-Yak.
I bet we know some of the same folks, Rick.
Super late to this thread, but I don’t know if I look like anyone. A guy once told me I reminded him of Ellen DeGeneres, but I think it was a pick-up line and not a very effective one at that.
Years ago, I tried one of those upload-an-image-of-your-face-and-we’ll-match-it-to-a-celebrity games, which spat out a few inconceivables like Kate Winslet and Gwyneth Paltrow. But it also pointed out the similarities between Rachel Bilson and me. If I had brown eyes and a smaller nose back when I was thinner, I guess I see the resemblance.
Oh, and Cindy? Next time Marc Jacobs hires you, will you bring home a few sample outfits for me?
Okay, Kelsey. Marc and I aren’t on speaking terms these days–we lost touch when he went all glam–but I’m sure he’ll need me one of these days and will come crawling back. They always do.
Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) in Trainspotting. Him. Me.
People used to stop me all the time when I was thinner and tell me that I looked like Rose McGowan .
When I was very thin, apparently the rumour was at work that I had cancer! Of course cancer takes many forms and they were wrong – odd shit to find out after the fact! Sorry for the wandering off thread – I guess it had to do with looking like someone/something.
When I was a teenager with an asymmetrical haircut (which is to say, a haircut that looked intentional, unlike the hippie-mama mop I’ve been sporting for the last few years), my mother and maybe one or two other people liked to say that I looked like Isabella Rosselini. I won’t bother linking to photos because the comparison now seems completely ludicrous.
Within my family, it’s always been said that I look like (a) my dad “except that she’s not bald and doesn’t have a mustache,” which is certainly true, and (b) my mother’s mother, while my mother looks like her mother’s mother.
Mom & Dad
Mom more recently
Great-grandma Emma
Sorry, I don’t seem to have a single decent photo of Grandma India in the house; I’ll post one when I get a chance.
An ex-boyfriend told me I looked like PJ Harvey, which I can’t say I take as a compliment. She’s hot, but she’s also extremely funny-looking.
To me, today, I look like some kind of horrifying amalgam of the mothers of my Greenwich Village elementary school classmates. I’ve got a hair appointment for tomorrow morning, so we’ll see if that helps.
Oh, India. Where to start? You look wonderful in your birthday photo. And your parents–my god, you were born to beautiful people. They appear to have loved each other very much.
You are a lucky girl.
By the “birthday photo,” I assume you mean the one from my parents’ “Forty Fucking Years” anniversary party? I was only a tender young thirty-four then.
Then, yes. I thought it was from your Forty Fucking Years birthday party. You still look the same–lovely.
No fucking gifts.
Yeah, I have no idea what the fuck I’m going to call my fortieth birthday party, now that that name’s been used.
Wow, India! You truly do resemble Emma Amos, née Holmes. Lovely.
India, I love that photo of your parents – your mom is beautiful!
P J Harvey? She is gorgeous in my humble opinion.
My girlfriend and I were watching Pretty In Pink tonight, in memorium of John Hughes. When Duckie first comes on screen wearing his hat, suit jacket and glasses, I instantly thought of this photo.
Simone as Duckie! Terrific.
loooong time lurker, slowly delurking.
and I look like this guy, mostly since he is I.
(and I have no idea who I look like)
