i recently had a conversation with a friend about our famous look-alikes.
(she happens to look similar to minnie driver but even more beautiful so she's one of the lucky ones. yes amy, i'm talking about you.)
i reflected on my 30 years and, sadly, admitted that no one has told me i look like anyone famous since the 4th grade. and that famous person is... drumroll please... mikey from the goonies. yes, good ol' sean astin when he was a chubby pre-teen.
remember?
and as i was thinking about it, i thought, "hey! i'm not the only one in my family who has an 80's child-star doppelganger!"
i bring you, the karate kid . . .
(remember that, lara? stalking josh at his wal-mart kiosk before we even knew him, because we thought he looked so much like the karate kid?)
and macy looks just like lukas haas, circa "witness". i don't have the perfect picture to illustrate this, but trust me, in real life, she is that little amish boy.
what famous person do people say you look like?
got anything better than mikey walsh?

That is just awesome. Although, for the record, you look nothing like Sean Astin - then or now. Josh does look remarkably like the karate kid. He probably shouldn't wear that bandana too often; he might get mobbed for autographs. :)
There is someone else that you look like, though ... and for the life of me I can't remember who! All I know is, I've told Jay on a couple of occasions that "she looks like Robin Ladle." Dang, I'll have to dig that out of my memory...
As for me, I've been told that I look like many, many people, from The Little Mermaid (yes, my hair was red at the time, but HELLO? She's a cartoon!) to Linda Rondstat. Most often, though, I get told I look like Mary Tyler Moore (from her younger years, I hope). I think it's the humongous smile. It's certainly not the rail-thin figure.
I was Haley Mills in the Parent Trap. Remember, this was back in the 60's.
i get Philip Seymour Hoffman all the time...you know, the killer in Mission: Impossible 3.
Also, I get jack black; circa The Holiday (but only in that movie.)
I've been told 3 different people on several different occasions, but I don't think I really look like any of them. I think it's the dark hair. Alanis Morissette, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Winona Ryder.
My mother-in-law used to look EXACTLY lake Jamie Lee Curtis, though (when they were both younger). I mean like multiple times people asked for her autograph.
oprah. {really?}
wah.
reba mcentire. i think people see the short red hair and that's the first thing that comes to mind. other than that, not much resemblance.
people tell kendon he looks like bruce willis and daughtery. i think they're both hot! (and bald. like kendon!)
I've had a couple people mention I resemble Princess Di. I feel bad but at the time I was almost offended. :) (it was also back when I usually had a shorter hair cut and wore pearls every day--ok not really with the pearls)
Robin - Pink (the singer).
Josh - Eric Bana.
Me - I've been told Guy Pearce and James Marsden, but I don't have as much hair as they do. I think I look like B-Rad.
hahahahahahaha! yes, of course i remember. danny larusso! ahh. funny.
you and sean astin? ok...the curly hair might be the contributing factor that one. and he was a total heart-throb (to me anyway), so you are good.
as for me? once when i was wearing glasses and overalls and a knee-brace post-acl surgery, i was told i looked like sandra bullock. weird. even weirder that i remember what i was wearing (ok, maybe not THAT weird).
a guy i work with who used to ask me out all the time thinks i look like jennifer garner...but only when she is in alias. don't watch that show, don't see the resemblance, but i'll take it.
When I was a kid I looked exactly like Anna Chlumsky, the little girl in My Girl. When I'm fatso pregnant and my face swells, people tell me I look like Renee Zellwegger. That makes me feel really bad for Renee.
I can totally see the Macy/Amish boy resemblance!!
Oh I'm always a glutton for a good celeb look alike session. It gets 10 fist pumps.
In Sean Astin's defense, and whomever made the comparison, those were some of his best years. He was quite androgynous before he hit puberty. However, I would say you are more Ashley Judd, wwwwiiinnk. Totally appreciate your compliment, but lets get real-one... of the lucky ones?!? Stop it some more, Robin. stop. it. some. more.
hahaha! I literally laughed out loud! thanks!
katie cruise or holmes or something. weird. and the resemblance of your family to celebrities is astounding. truly.
