OK, I know this is a completely frivolous topic, but that's what the lounge is all about, right? Anyhow, I imagine that most of us have some sort of a mental image about what the others here look like, right? Also, since most of us will probably never meet in person, and since most of us don't post pics of ourselves, I thought it might be fun to tell each other what famous person we resemble. It should be someone that we can find on the internet (obviously) and, especially with older people, an idea of what age range of the celeb we are talking about. Make sense? I will go first:
Just for a little background, a couple of months ago my wife and I went to visit our son, and we met some of his co-workers. One of them, a woman in her early thirties, told my son that I reminded her of (drum roll here) Sean Connery (!). Since no one has ever said that, we thought it was kind of strange. Naturally, I didn't mind, because what guy would be insulted by being compared to Sean Connery, right? Anyhow, I went home and looked up images of him, and, by golly, there is a passing resemblance when you look at the movies he made when he was my age (55). Specifically, look at images from "The Name of the Rose". Our hair, or lack thereof, is the same except mine is trimmed a little closer in the back. Also, I have a more relaxed expression, and my nose is a little less pointy, but there actually is a little resemblance there! Even my wife kind of agreed. I mentioned that whole business to one of our friends, and she said, "Oooh, I guess you do look a little like him. Could you do his accent, too?" I thought that was pretty funny!
So, does anyone else want to find a celeb whom they resemble and tell us about it? Give it a whirl. (Of course, if everyone resembles only the hottest of the hot we may get a little suspicious.
