Do YOU have a doppelganger?

[Clinton]

Found this today

Do you, too, have a doppelganger?

 

[Mr D]

Yes. I've never met him but dozens of friends and colleagues have seen him when out or when at an event.
If I ever go back in time I at least know where and when to be.

Back in the day I came face to face with Graham Rix of Arsenal and was fancied his double - apart from about a foot in height

Should this thread not be called 'i'd like to draw attention to a dodgy geezer using a false name'?

I thought this was going to be the "you must have a double" joke....

My band has one - an agent advertising us under a name that isn't us! We get most bookings direct, so agents have trouble with the commission - so this one invented a name for us. We're the UK Beach Boys and Beach Boys Gold seem to be us too!

There doesn't seem to be anyone who looks like me (fortunately for them).

But there are several who share my full name. Most of them are on death row in the US or wanted for other serious crimes there.

I'm glad I moved to the UK and don't live in the US any more!

Some friends thought I looked like David Carradine who starred in a TV series called Kung Fu in which he played a Chinese monk. I never saw the similarity. On my first visit to Hong Kong I was sitting in a cafe surrounded by Chinese and a guy we were sharing a table with lent across and said I looked just like David Carradine.

I have kept my hair better than him and hopefully I don't die infamously as he did.

Definitely I do feel so. I once read that every person has a doppleganger.

My doppleganger (twin) was John Goodman. I say "was" because I have gone on a diet and lost a tremendous amount of weight. It use to be a daily comment though "You look like John Goodman" or a daily question "Are you John Goodman?" I am so glad I've dropped in size and it is refreshing to not here those comments or questions anymore.

I never really accepted the notion of dopplegangers until a few years ago. I was sitting down at the top of a mountain in North Wales just taking a break and noticed a guy walking towards me who kept looking at me. He kept staring at me and I found it quite odd, I didn't know him at all but he said "hi" and mentioned a persons name (which I can't remember) I said "hi" back to him but he kept calling me this same name. I didn't respond and then he asked me my name... I told him but he was absolutely convinced I was someone he knew extremely well. He went to the top of the summit and on his way down again he still kept looking and shaking his head in disbelief that I wasn't the person he thought I was.

A decade later I was on a train travelling down through the west coast of Scotland and a woman came onboard and sat two seats away from me but facing me. Geez, she was the absolute double of my wife's mum, her face, hairstyle, style of clothes, physical size and even her mannerisms when she was eating were identical. She was a carbon copy of my wife's mother who had died years earlier.

Since then I have had two more doppleganger experiences. One was my father in law and one was a guy just sitting at Heathrow Airport. The father in law one was an absolute double but had died 15 years back and the airport lounge guy was a double for a friend who I had played table tennis with every week for 20 years.

These people were totally identical in every way to the ones I knew so well. Just to clarify, I have 20/20 vision.

I'm fed up with all the women treating myself like a piece of meat, claiming I look like a young Brad Pitt. Worst part is they tend to slam the door on the way out when I admit I am not him, disturbs my sleep no end.
