Fucking hell
My own mother thought that the picture of the Laughing Cavalier that I have as my facebook picture is actually me.

I'm quite shocked, I really didn't think it looked that much like me.

Which famous person, or object have you been mistaken for and did it upset you?

and yes, yes it did.

Although when I used to have a zero buzz cut one of my friends kindly pointed out I looked like an eastern european football thug / heroin addict, which is a tiny bit worse

Reeves was when I was younger, in the Matrix films (stupid short haircuts)

never understood the DiCaprio one at all (made by a friend of my missus bout 3 years ago)

Rooney is closest, but only cause I got a bit of a gut - the guy who said it seems to think that because I'm slowly balding, didn't shave, and a bit porkly, we're almost twins

My mum used to put my drawings up for about a week until the excitement had worn off and then she would bin them when I wasn't looking. And even when they were up there they were usually upside down.

It's things like this that turn kids into molesters later in life.
