Mistaken Identity

I'd say out of the two of us, I'm usually the one who gets asked more often "Has anyone ever told you that you look like..." or told "You look and remind me so much of..." I rather like the person I'm often compared to, but I'm never mistaken for the celebrity - only told of my likeness.

Cliff, on the other hand, has wondered aloud rather often "Why doesn't anyone tell me that?" or "Who do you think I look like?" thinking he's missed some sort of mark by not having a celebrity likeness. I mean, isn't it sort of a rite of passage to be told you've got a twin somewhere out there in the world that "looks just like you"? Make it a famous person, and you're practically floating on air. Granted they have some level of class, aren't running around showing their privates, and haven't recently been out of rehab.

Well, Cliff has gotten his wish not once but twice in the last month or so. And in both cases, he was not just told he looked "just like" someone; the on-lookers actually mistook him for the person they so claimed he was a spitting image of. Both in eating establishments and both in the kind of way that makes you feel really awkward about the strangers staring at you while you eat your food.

This guy:

My dashingly handsome husband, shot again by Zach Gray.

Has now been mistaken for...

this guy:

Charles Kelley from Lady Antebellum

and this guy:

Who probably doesn't need an introduction, but just in case... Brad Pitt.


Pretty wild, huh?

I can see it! Must be the facial hair!

As for you, I'm always telling C that I think you look like Cameron on "House", and Keri Russell, and some other actress who's name escapes me at the moment. By the way, C doesn't agree - lol.

WOWZERS! Does that mean he's going to keep the beard all year around now?

okay...so before you get your "new man" for summer, I think he should transition with a goatee!!! (make sure we all get pics of it, though, lol)

And it doesn't surprise me that Cee wouldn't agree...she's too close to you to see what others see.

so you can tell cliff that getting those comments is not always what it's cracked up to be....take it from the person who was once told she looked like Linda Blair.....the girl from the exorcist
