Just for fun! what celebrity would you say you are like?

That’s very cool, if I remember correctly she’s a chef living in Paris. I think I saw one of her shoes a few years ago. 

Her shows actually, thanks predictive text. Though I imagine I saw her shoes as well. Which were probably stylish. 

so ever been likened to a celebrity ?

I’ve never seen it. I deffo don’t and have never looked like him! Not in a million years. It was more I think a suggestion that I had a sort of ‘nice mannerly chap’ sort of vibe. Considerably less so now I imagine! 

Hugh Grant ! as in Notting hill. 

and in one of my fav films Music and Lyrics too. 

Just went digging for the ‘The Bill’ guy as I do recall them showing me a picture and he was one of the plain clothes guys from the mid 90s. I’m now certain it was this guy: 

Andrew Macintosh apparently. My hair would have been like that too and I can see how young me was close enough to that, especially with that self conscious looking stare. 

It depends what you mean. Three people in my life (two of them family, one of them a friend) insist that I bear a resemblance to Prince William. On the family side it was my sister who started that, then my mother agreed. My dad and brother have a ‘whatever’ opinion on it, they’re not convinced and I don’t blame them! My friend who said I was like Wills had independently concluded this and brought it up, my sister doesn’t really know him. Confusingly, while they (and my mum, after a prompt) are both insistent about it, literally nobody else has ever made that comparison so it’s most perplexing. There might be the minutest resemblance if one really squints and of course I have his (let’s be generous) ‘hairstyle’. I have some of his air of restrained awkwardness as well I think - cufflink fiddling and the like, an uncertain ‘please don’t think I’m a doofus’ smile etc. 

Apart from that, I’m not sure I’ve ever been compared to anyone… oh wait, when I was in my twenties some bloke in work said ‘isn’t he like so and so from The Bill’ and two or three people went ‘oh yeah, a bit’. No idea who that was. I had hair then and looked quite different I think. 

One time in work, about 15 years ago someone, meaning to be nice (but I was inwardly horrified)  said that I had a Hugh Grant demeanour - definitely not meaning my looks, that’s for sure! Thankfully nobody has said it since. At the time he was known for being a sort of foppish ‘oh gosh, oh crikey ’ type, in those cringey Richard Curtis films (apologies to anyone who likes them) and I remember thinking right, I need to change everything about myself immediately if there’s any truth in that! I think the same person said I was a bit Louis Theroux as well (manner wise) which concerned me less but still gave me pause!
