- Rogue from X-Men
I haven’t seen any X-Men movie since I was a teenager so I don’t remember that well how Rogue’s character is and the details of her story and accordingly cannot tell how accurate the comparison was/is. The guy who told me I remind him of her was some older dude who was pretty creepy towards me (I was 15-16), so maybe the extend of the similarity were my tits or something. Idk
Is somebody who knows me an expert and can tell me wether or not I actually have traits in common with Rogue? - Hannah from Girls
This one actually came from my best friend when I was 18 and I am insulted by it to this day. I don’t really like “Girls”. I’ve seen a couple of seasons because I was intrigued by the fact that the main character isn’t thin (that was such a rarety in media when I was a kid/teenager that that alone made it worth watching), but I always thought the titular girls were mostly unlikeable. The main thing I remember about Hannah is how spoiled and not down to earth she was.
I kind of hope that I reminded my friend of her only because I had a similar body type. - Willow from Buffy
This one came from one of my best friends a couple of years ago and I still feel very honoured by it.
I loooove Willow! She’s nerdy, awkward, talkative and overly excited a lot and I can totally see myself in her character.
So thank you, friend. <3 - Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Multiple people have said that to me, but I’m honestly not sure if it isn’t just because I have been so obsessed with that movie for such a long time that I modelled my aesthetic after her when I was a teen (maybe a bit of my personality too😬). Anyway, I am fine with that comparison. With time, I kind of moved away from being obsessed with Clementine to being obsessed (and relating to) Mary Svevo. So I don’t identify with her as much as I used to, but I can definitely still see a lot of myself in her.
Btw I have had one friend who explicitly told me I am nothing like her because she didn’t like her or the movie. We are not friends anymore. - Jennifer Lawrence
So, this is the weirdest one in my opinion. Someone first told me I looked a bit like her when I was in my late teens and it was a guy who had a crush one me so I didn’t take it serious because I thought he probably just wanted to say something flattering. But then years later I got it again multiple times by a (straight) girlfriend of mine and I don’t think she had any agenda when saying it. I never got any other comparisons to celebrities. Maybe just a weird concidence.
I still don’t see it at all. I am kind of flattered but also confused. - The girl on the cover of Elliott Smith’s first album “Roman Candle”
Roman Candle was the first Elliott Smith album I ever got on vinyl and I’ve had the cover from it framed in my kitchen for many years. When my mother was at my place for a visit once she saw it and asked me if the picture in the frame was a photo of me, which confused me a lot because I for some reason always thought it was Elliott Smith on the cover and only realised it wasn’t when she asked me about it and then kept insisting that the person looks a lot like me.
I kind of see it a bit.
