Lookalike, I Like

So I was paying at the mamak, when the mamak dude says:

You look like John Michael.

His face was relatively near mine, but I couldn’t hear what he said.

Huh?

You look like John Michael. You know, the wrestler.

The way he said it, it was as if he was going to challenge me for my trophy belt right there.

Does anybody know this wrestler, since I don’t watch wrestling?

My hair was tied back, so I guess I looked more aggressive.

Edit: He probably meant Shawn Michaels.

I have a common face, or a face to link them all. I’ve been likened to the Alien Workshop logo in secondary school, Neo (Keanu Reeves) when I wear sunglasses, David Spade of Just Shoot Me, Topher Grace (who plays Eric Forman in That ’70s Show), Gavin Yap (the local thespian), some dude in APIIT Damansara Heights, some Malay dude who worked in Nando’s Midvalley, a handsome lecturer in Lim Kok Wing, a guitar-playing maestro who also plays chess, among other people. And maybe a peacock, too.


Pardon the crude, crude Photoshopping. These are the four best impressions of the famous actors I can look like.

And hey, I secretly enjoy being told that I look like somebody, especially if that someone is famous and good-looking.

So, I myself find delight in spotting people who do look like someone else. I swear, when I say, “hey you look like my friend“, it is not a pickup line. It gives me great joy to spot lookalikes, great joy to tell them, and hopefully, the person will be overjoyed as I am, too, secretly. Well, if I freaked you out then I am sorry. 😛

Edit: Check out Jenifer’s celebrity lookalike.

    I think he meant ‘Shawn Michael’, not John Michael. If there’s really a wrestler named John Michael, my bad then =)

    So you didn’t go up to that guy you thought was me in KLCC and said "hey you look like my friend"?

    Lot of people say I look like somebody they know somewhere. Gawd, what is up with that?

    SO MANY celebrity lookalikes! I’m happy with just Karen Mok and Alanis Morisette.

    I can’t remember who else I’ve been linked to resemble.

    If in any case, you think you look like Keanu, I will most certainly ask you out for a date =)

    Don’t get me wrong. It’s not an insult. But, you do look a little like Keanu…haha!
