Not famous, but I have had people walk up and start talking to me on more than one occasion thinking I was Kate Wetherhead (Legally Blonde).

Far too many strangers have mentioned how much I look like a younger Mel Brooks. (I’m at least 30 years younger than the man for God’s sake.) I do NOT consider this a compliment.
I've had many people, for years, say Nicolas Cage. If they are thinking younger Nicolas Cage, I take it as a compliment. If they are thinking older Nicolas Cage, not so much.
I'm Asian but not like... ingenue Asian. No one has told me I look like anybody (though my sister was told three times in a week during the Olympics that she looks like Michelle Kwan). My closest celeb doppleganger is Kylie Kwong. I can't think of any theatre actors I might resemble.

Fascinating to read this thread and discover what people on this board look like in real life! It's almost like people are posting pictures of themselves lol. Unfortunately, I don't have a celebrity look-alike at my current age, but when I was a kid, people said I looked like the kid from the movie "Elf"
I wish I could say I looked like Brad Pitt but oh well -lol. I have had people tell me my hair style/color of hair reminds them a bit of the late Anthony Bourdain.
I've gotten Daniel Tosh, Jim Parsons, the guy who plays Lucifer in the TV show of the same name, and the guy who plays the Riddler on Gotham. The latter two are from friends who swear that I look just like them, but those actors don't look alike so I don't know what to think.
I attended the Tonys and after parties in 2009. Anne Hathaway was a presenter and her hair styling and black cocktail dress where strikingly similar to my hair styling and black cocktail dress so much so that I had people grabbing my arm breathlessly telling "Miss Hathaway" how much they loved her work. My friends and I still joke about this.
She's not the cute ingenue anymore so I don't hear it as often, but Zooey Deschanel was my twin for a while there (it's the hair).
Another odd moment was when one of my "gentleman callers" messaged me at 3 AM to let me know that he was watching a movie with Sean Young and that the timbre of her voice was exactly like mine. That's one I hadn't heard before for sure.
I once put my face through a celeb lookalike scanner and the three men it listed most prominently were Jonathon Groff (which I was very happy with), Paul Dano (which I was fine with), and Mark Zuckerberg (which horrified me). Interestingly enough, these three men look nothing alike.

Interestingly enough, these three men look nothing alike."
I think Groff and Zuckerberg have a bit of a resemblance, particularly because of the curly brown hair. Dano strikes me as the odd one out there.
I don’t think their hair is particularly similar, Zuckerberg’s is much curlier and shorter. And facially they have nothing in common, as one is an extremely handsome leading man while the other is an awkward looking nerd.
I've never been told that I look like Mark Zuckerberg, but I have been told that I look Jesse Eisenberg (who played him in The Social Network) on multiple occasions. Of the two, I'll stick with Eisenberg.
I don’t look like anyone, but one of my best friends can pass as Bradley Coopers twin. Talks like him, too. Whenever we are out together someone always approaches him thinking he’s Cooper. I must admit, I love being in the company of Mr Cooper, faux or not. (My friend is a few years younger than BC).
Have been told Pierce Brosnan by a couple of people. But I don't see it. Outside of the clean cut look with dark hair, parted the same way. Similar eyes.
When my hair was shorter people would constantly tell me I looked just like a younger Seth MacFarlane. at one point it was practically a weekly occurrence. Besides him, a lot of people say I look like Adam Brody. Even recently my sister tagged me in an IG post which was of Adam and she said when she was scrolling her feed and saw that picture of him she thought it was me at first and was wondering why I was at LAX.
