I'd walk a thousand miles not to look like my doppelgangers and used to do so. It's why I don't look like them now! I used to be able to mimic them too. I say them because there's two of them looking very similar.
A few weeks ago outside the theatre in Exeter a lady asked me if I was Michael Caine. I replied, "no but I am a cockney, he isnt" . My wife was always being told she closely resembled Leslie Caron (Gigi).

Reuse, recycle, thus do your bit to save the planet.... Get stuff at auctions, Dump, Charity Shops, Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, Car Boots. Choose an Old House, and a Banger ..... And cycle as often as you can......
A resemblance I used to be saddled with, when I was a lot younger, was not one to be proud of, today. I remember, when I was in my 20s, cycling along, kids used to shout after me "Hey! Rolf Harris!"
Luckily I don't look in the least like him now. I think it was the beard, the glasses and the hairstyle that did it. Well, the beard has gone, I wear a different style of glasses now, and my hair is short and has turned grey.
I can't think of any doppelgangers of myself - not at the moment. Maybe I'll come up with someone...

I'm the proclaimers, doesn't matter which. Or about 3 other guys in my area who look so alike to me that people I work with start chatting to them like they're me. Since I don't go into that town much I know there's others like me. Having a rather distinctive appearance I find that's very unusual. They say there's an exact doppelganger for everyone in the world but I've got 3 living in the same area.
Hi again Al, I'd say you look like Maurice Micklewhite, but not a lot of people know that, I'm starting to look like the old man in the film "Up". My late father was a dead ringer for him, spooky. IGIMNCB MM
