Story Time: Which Celebrities Do Your Exes Look Like (If You Squint Your Eyes In A Dark Room)?

I'm immobilized on my couch in the middle of a gripping five-hour FriendZone marathon and an ad popped up on screen featuring Tom Arnold. Are you still with me here? Ok. Well, it occurred to me that Tom Arnold sorta looks like my ex which made me make the face on the right. Picture Tom Arnold in a black hoodie chomping on a slice of pizza while complaining about the Phillies and BAM! that's basically my (ex-)man. So then I thought about other dudes I've dated who've all looked like busted versions of famous people. Like, if we ever had a Lifetime movie dramatizing our relationship, I'd already know who could step in to play his role. (Naturally, my part would be played by Zooey Deschanel but she'd have to be CGI-ed to appear a foot taller and about six sizes bigger.) Thinking back, my exes have all sorta looked like:
  • Jason Schwartzman
  • Ryan Gosling
  • David Spade
  • Jeremy Renner
  • Fred Savage
  • Jarvis Cocker
  • Harry Potter
  • Michael J. Fox
  • Kirk Cameron
  • Colin Farrell
  • Al Capone from Boardwalk Empire
  • Milhouse from The Simpsons
  • Rick Moranis
So, I wanna know, what celebrity doppelgangers have you dated? Tell me in the comments!

Currently dating a Fred Savage look-a-like. So much so that my friends call him Fred.

A genetic mashup of Jarvis Cocker and Viggo Mortensen. But hotter. The hotter they are, the crazier they fall.

Amy said...

My ex-boyfriend was the spitting image of Danny Masterson (Hyde from "That 70s Show.").

My now-boyfriend looks just like Draco Malfoy. Not exactly Tom Felton, but definitely Draco Malfoy. It's tough to explain. But I'm not complaining.

Amy said...

I want to add that I've been told I look like Stephanie Tanner an embarrassing number of times. Appropriate.

Samantha said...

Michael C. Maronna ... you know Big Pete from Pete and Pete. Lol obviously OLDER. That was one of my exes.

Paula said...

Seth Rogen - so much so, that at times I can't watch/enjoy Seth's movies, because it is too distracting.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Rufus Sewell.

Anna said...

That reminds me, I have an ex who looks so much like Kevin Connolly (i.e. E from Entourage) that I can't watch the show without thinking about him.

Helen said...

Brad Pitt in Fight Club, to the point where every time I introduced him to new people they felt the need to pull me to the side and ask me if I knew he looked like him & my brother-in-law still just refers to him as Brad Pitt.

A much less charismatic Ryan Dunn.

- peter murphy from bauhaus (pointed out by my former goth friends, they were also distracted by this and couldn't imagine him NOT being that guy)

- there was actually a guy i called the discount matthew mcconaghey, because, well, he looked like the discount matthew mcconaghey

- justin from american idol (he had the same hair)

- no physical resemblance, but his friends called him quagmire, like on family guy. *shudder*

Sonya said...

A much assholier Brad Pitt.

Current man looks so much like Daniel Tosh that I can't watch Tosh.0
He also sorta reminds me of the 10th Doctor from Dr. Who (David Tennant).

Kevin Smith.

The dad in that awful Twilight movie.

John Stamos.

Mr. Clean.

Tom Petty

The Grinch.

Clearly, I am not attracted to any certain "type".

sarabot said...

I have definitely dated a Corey Feldman lookalike. And apparently Corey is SO my type that I later dated a guy that was a lookalike to the previous guy that looked liked Mr. Feldman. Whoa.

Eric Balfour and Jay Baruchel.

I've had a weird number of doppelgangers actually..


I dated a guy almost identical to the squirrely ginger from empire records. I'm talking looks and personality.

One who looks exactly like Joe Jonas.

A skinnier Taye Diggs

Tom Felton if he was pretty drugged-out.

Robert Downey Jr.


aaaand best for last:

The old guy from UP

Brittany said...

...Nicholas Cage...

The guy from the can you hear me now Verizon commercials, Ryan Gosling (dated him for that reason alone probably), Clive Owen (everyone told me that, he even had an accent!), Bam Margera, John Lennon dead ringer, Ron Livingston and currently dating a guy who kinda looks homeless. Not a celebrity but kind of amusing to me.

My prom date looked like Viggo Mortensen in the Lord o' the Rings Trilogy. Cant emphasize the importance of a hot 'tall shoe' date for these events enough- since you are sort of stuck with the pictures forever.

I briefly cheated on a boyfriend that looked like Aaron Eckhart with a marine that also looked an Aaron Eckhart.

My current looks has the facial features and body of young axl rose , i.e. not balding or fat, who is totally cribbing kurt cobain's look and wardrobe. What can I say? Damn lucky.

There is a Ben Affleck - Adam Sandler hybrid among the notables.

My boyfriend looks just like John Krasinksi!

Ryan Gosling... that's probably the only thing I miss about him... but it was a great quality.

Caitskies said...

I dated young Van Morrison for about a year, followed by Draco Malfoy. I've since moved on to Taylor Kitsch...but not without checking in with Lou Diamond Phillips.

Bethany said...
