Not in the celebrity sense! But my hubby recently had a very funny experience. He was providing administrative support to a recent meeting of EU ministers. One of our female Ministers who I won't name came up to him, shook his hand vigorously, greeted him warmly and asked if he'd like to go 'somewhere private'. He looked blankly at her - as my hubby is prone to do - and then said, again in the way that only my hubby can, 'I'd love to................but why'. She'd mistaken him for a Danish Minister and was not at all amused to have got it wrong in front of lots of people! Just as well he has no ambition to get promoted but it was hardly his fault, and he hadn't been paid for working at the meeting for 3 days anyway. All the Govt admin staff there were volunteers.

My auntie is the image of Julie Walters. She has us in stitches when she puts on the voice and says ''ave a macaroon miss Babs'. She thinks it is great that people think she looks like her. :o) Another aunt of my hubby's looks like Raquel from only fools and horses, but with better taste. :o) Claire xx

My son, when he had long hair, was often told he resembled Orlando Bloom in his role as Legolas in 'Lord of the Rings'. In middle age, my brother looked very much like Howard Keel when he played Clayton Farlowe in 'Dallas' My Dad used to look like Clark Gable. My Mum's youngest brother looked like portraits painted of King Charles I. He used to say it was because their mother's maiden name was Stuart. (Pull the other one!) I used to look like Cher when she and I were young. If only I'd had the voice, I could have made a fortune!
