So I *constantly* get told I look like someone else by the most random people in random situations. For a long time people said I looked like Lance Bass (what the christ) and then when I grew out my beard it turned into me being a dead ringer for Brian Posehn (fuck you I don't weigh 300 lbs). I would seriously get asked like once a week if I was this guy when I would walk around. I mean ok, I can possibly see the resemblance, but that guy has another foot and another 150+ pounds on me.

Today was a new edition to the mindfuck.. this guy ran up to me on the streets of Chicago today as I was coming back from lunch and goes HOLY SHIT!!! I LOVE WATCHING YOU BLOW SHIT UP ON THE TV SET, BOY!

I turn around not really knowing what to expect. There is this goofy looking redneck type lad with the biggest shiteating grin I've seen in recent memory on his face.

I said, "excuse me?" and he proceeds to try to grab my hand to shake it.

I humor him.

He goes "oh man, my friends ain't never gon' believe this!" and then scuttles off. My coworker just kind of stares at me in amazement. I start trying to think of what the fuck this guy is talking about. I see him try to reach for a camera so I start to walk away not wanting to be part of this weirdness anymore.

He calls someone and says "HOLY SHIT JOHN, I JUST MET THAT GUY FROM MYTHBUSTERS!"


*edit: he meant adam savage*

people are fucking retarded :awe:

I'm told I look like Jacob Black. I wish I looked like someone cooler. At least I can still get some street cred with the High School girls.

Never heard of either of the folks that you mentioned but I googled Brian Posehn and if you're indeed lighter than him & a bit shorter than you may well resemble Adam Savage. So I think this thread needs pics at this point.

Around 1982 my wife and I walked into a club. The DJ stopped the music because he thought I was Matt Dillon.



No. Not marshall Matt Dillon.

Feel like I was just talking about this...:p

I met a guy who was convinced that I looked like Simon Pegg. I was like, "fuck you, I'm not a soulless ginger you asshole." Though in fairness, my facial hair is multicolored and can look copper-ish from the right angle.

Also met a girl once who thought my voice sounded like Billy Joe Armstrong and made me wing Green Day to her.

David Beckham.

Be it on the soccer field or just random strangers.

I guess that's a good thing!

I get mistaken for the "Desperado" guy from Seinfeld

"Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow "
