Hi there,

I’m a woman in my thirties. I happen to look a bit like a well-known celebrity from my country. People have been telling me that since I was a teenager (creepy then as it was mostly adult men, but I digress), and they still do today, although it has become less frequent and tends to correlate with how much media exposure she’s getting at the moment.

I’m quite surprised when people I’ve just met feel comfortable making that kind of remark, especially in a professional setting.
To be fair, the comparison is flattering, since this person is considered attractive. The problem is I never know what to say.
I can see why people make the comparison to a certain point, so I don’t want to deny it outright. At the same time, I don’t really want to thank them either, because I honestly don’t care, and it doesn’t particularly please me to be told I look like someone else.

At one point I came up with a pun involving her name and my love for food, but it was a bit too self deprecating - it was giving something along the lines of “yeah, I’m like the wish version of…”
The worst is when the person can’t remember the celebrity’s name and expects me to help them : “You look very much like… snaps fingers …you know ! People must have told you before. What’s her name again ?”

I need your help !
What would be the best, most elegant, witty, funny response ?
Ideally, I’d like something that closes the subject rather than encouraging a longer conversation about it, and something that would actually fit my personality. (Because yes, I do have a bit of wit myself, it’s not all about someone else’s good looks ! 🤣)

Thank you very much !

How hot was it in the Shooting Star ?

I need a quick come-back (doppelganger situation)
