This is a question Mistaken Identity

Well, if you dress anything like him, you probably deserved it, but who have you been mistaken for/mistaken other people for?

I'm stoned, so sorry if I ramble
I have been mistaken for or told I look like:-

Liam Gallagher
That nerdy bloke on the bus in Speed (who's from out of town).
Jamie Oliver
The male half of Everything but the girl.
George Clooney (actually, don't mind that one)
Shaggy (the scooby doo one)
A woman (not sure which one)
A gayer (by gayers and homophobes - the latter has got pretty nasty on occasion).
Some famous golfer by a drunk woman who couldn't believe I wasn't him. She wouldn't leave me alone for about 20 minutes and kept dragging people over and telling them. I have forgotten the golfers name (as I hate golf), but at the time I googled him and found out that he is short and blonde. I'm tall and dark.

You'll notice the common thread among these people is that none of them look remotely alike. The only one who I could say I have a passing resemblence to is Mr Clooney, but only cos of my height and hair.

I do have a mate though who looks a bit like Thom Yorke (but only a bit). We were out at a concert several years ago when he got the chance to make some Radiohead fans day by shaking his hand and giving an autograph.

And I used to know a guy at work who was the spit of Tom Cruise. He was a shy lad from Australia who hardly ever spoke to anyone. He was a nice chap, but a bit on the dull side (seem to remember he was a unix developer and would talk about it all the time).
So obviously we called him Tom for years, introduced him as Tom to every newbie or anyone at all if we were out, changed his phones outgoing call signature on the switchboard to Tom Cruise etc. It got to the point that the only people who knew his real name where the peeps who'd known him when he joined.
