    Your Celebrity Doppelgänger

    There's no doubt about it. Four days without shaving and I resemble Jeremy Corbyn fresh from a successful career in bun-eating.

    Yours?

          When I was young it was Paul McCartney. Then as I got older and more grizzled people always remarked on my resemblance to Mike Read (the DJ not the Eastenders one), Then, as the years and the pounds piled on it was Gordon Kaye from Allo Allo. Last year I went to a comedy club and the compere took one look at me and said "Blimey Harold Shipman's let himself go a bit"

            How can you be a bastard offspring of two people?

                I've been likened variously to Nigel Slater, James Spader and Hugh Grant. The first 2 I can sort of half see if I squint and look at the right photo. The last one was someone in the US who I assume had just seen 4 Weddings and liked my accent.

                  According to my toddler I look like Kiera Knightley when she's playing the role of Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice, but then again she also thinks I resemble the mummy rock troll from Frozen. I think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle of those extremes!

                      Because that's usually where babies come from?

                      Unless Ms Lang can reproduce via parthenogenesis.

                        But in that case isn't the term 'bastard' redundant? Wouldn't you only use it if you were mentioning one parent? I'm not down on the latest celeb gossip but I'm pretty sure John Craven isn't in a relationship with kd lang.

                              Well, yes. It just means the child of unmarried parents. Which is no longer a stigma.

                              William the Conqueror was also known as William the Bastard, if I remember correctly.

                                Well, they may have just been trying to insult me rather than commenting on the legitimacy of the parental relationships.

                                      As a young man, my Mum likened me to both George Hamilton IV and Sebastian Coe. Not at the same time.

                                      In my 30s Mrs. S at different times thought she saw a passing likeness to David Duchovny and Jeff Bridges.

                                      More recently I've been likened to Alan Pardew.

                                      Personally I don't see any common traits between those five.

                                        I once got free entry into a club because I looked like the doorman thought I looked like Harry Potter. I changed to contact lenses shortly after and the Baja Beach Club closed several years later.

                                          During my early 20s my best friends said I looked like Steve Cram (he's aged a darn sight better than me) but shortly after, when I wore glasses, that mutated into Bob Holness, which was a significant downgrading. My aunt once called my mum to say 'John's on the TV!' when Patrick Kielty did a Saturday night show.

                                              Three people have said that I look like Fyfe Dangerfield from The Guillemots. Does he count as a celebrity?

                                                I get told Ralph Little and more recently the Irish fella off the IT Crowd. But fuck that.

                                                  Twenty years ago it was Sally Field. Now it's Rosie O'Donnell, sadly.
