Countdown Lookalikes?

Jojo Apollo · Post by **Jojo Apollo** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 8:08 pm

We've had quite a few famous Countdown lookalikes. List your lookalikes here.

I'll start:

Susie Dent = actress Jennifer Garner

Damian Eadie = comedian Stewart Lee

Chris Wills = Tony Blair

Neil Zussman = legendary kids tv presenter Fred Harris

Jo Brand = John Sergeant

Charlie Reams = some famous footballer whose name I can't recall

p.s only a bit of fun folks.

James Hurrell - Buzz Lightyear
David Williams - Arsene Wenger
Junaid Mubeen - Bob Geldof.

Opps! Sorry Charlie and Damian.

Jon Corby - Pete Sampras

although less so nowadays, probably a conscious effort from one or the other...

Junaid Mubeen · Post by **Junaid Mubeen** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 1:51 pm

Some Snooker relations:

Jon Corby - Ronnie O'Sullivan (both flawed by their genius)
DoD - John Higgins

The following has also been suggested by a few people

Junaid Mubeen - Nick Wainwright

Just in case any of you didn't bother with the spoiler boards from last week, I may as well post these pics in this thread:

Have Damian Eadie and snooker's Ian McCulloch ever been seen in the same room at the same time?

I'd be happy to make loads more of these, it's just hard to find decent-sized pictures of Countdown people.
So by all means point me in the right direction. I tried to find the thread of CoC photos by searching for "photobucket" but only found pictures of sexy golfers that Corby had posted.

Since you were quite dismissive of the Roman Abramovich thing

, I feel entitled to say that I don't see the Susie Dent vs. Jennifer Garner one at all. They've got quite similar hair, and ears, I suppose. But that does not a lookalike make.

Well this is all very grown up.

You want grown up do you?

Check out the beard.

and Paul - I made the picture, I didn't make the claim. As with Charlie and Hammond.

Blimey Derek, that is uncanny! I think we have a winner.

Haha, that's superb Derek. I think that shot of Carol is the one on the front of my old 'Countdown' game for the BBC Micro

This is the first one where I actually see the resemblance!

Jojo Apollo · Post by **Jojo Apollo** » Thu May 14, 2009 4:42 pm

Yeah I noticed the resemblance too.

Some say Jimmy Gough looks like Andy Murray, I reckon he looks more like actor Billy Drago (the main hit man in The Untouchables film)

Matthew Green · Post by **Matthew Green** » Fri May 15, 2009 11:08 am

I think he looks more like Andy Murrays mum. No offence Jimmy, I honestly do.

Yes, absolutely uncanny! Nick could be his slightly older brother.

I think someone posted that lookalike on this thread already, Matthew Green maybe. I don't see it but then I wouldn't! I do get the John Higgins one though quite often.

David O'Donnell · Post by **David O'Donnell** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 9:39 pm

In case you don't know who John Higgins is.

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 10:04 pm

Guess he'd declare a 4, either ISLE or CUES.

Ben from Lost looks like what DoD would look like if he lived on a desert island for a few years.

Chris Davies reminds me of Paul O'Grady facially and vocally.

You don't see Chris and Ed Byrne in the same room. (Sorry, don't know how to put a pic of Chris - feel free to do it for me, someone!)

ZOMGZ- I put this theory forward yesterday in Aptochat and it was thoroughly dismissed by those present!

Ben Wilson · Post by **Ben Wilson** » Mon Aug 31, 2009 8:09 pm

How has this thread gone so far already without a mention of Stewart Holden and Masi Oka?

Kieran Child · Post by **Kieran Child** » Mon Aug 31, 2009 8:11 pm

For people to make up their own minds:

Also, I always thought Kirk looked more like England reserve footballer Wayne Bridge.

Sue Sanders · Post by **Sue Sanders** » Mon Aug 31, 2009 11:44 pm

Ta muchly - I'm happy that proves mine and Jeff's point!

I can definitely see this. Chris resembles Ed Byrne superficially (long hair, glasses, pale complexion etc) but his underlying features look scarily like O'Grady's.

Chris Davies · Post by **Chris Davies** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 8:38 pm

My dad went to the same school (St. Anselm's) as Paul O'Grady. I'm actually quite a fan of his and would love to meet him.

This latest revelation seems to indicate the impossibility of that.

Posters on Digital Spy aren't too polite about Chris. Read for yourself.

Jon Corby · Post by **Jon Corby** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 8:19 am

I'd just like to thank everyone on Chris's behalf for drawing his attention to what people had been writing about him on digitalSpy, which he would otherwise have been completely unaware of. He's probably been pretty excited what with his awesome octochamp run just finishing being broadcast on national TV, which I guess is why he forgot to do it himself.

Kirk tells me this was his first thought, too:

Derek Hazell · Post by **Derek Hazell** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 7:30 pm

I saw a guy who looked like Jack Hurst standing under the archway at my work smoking this morning. I have never seen anybody who looks like him before, so I had to do a double take. He must have thought I was very very odd looking at him like that!

No picture I'm afraid. That would have been just a step too far.

I think you should draw a picture of what the guy looked like, then beside it draw a picture of Jack (but you must do this from memory, you're not allowed to copy a picture of Jack off the internet or lure Jack round your house for a spot of life drawing). Then we can compare the likenesses of the mystery man and Mr. Hurst and decide if they really are lookalikes, and also laugh at your rubbish drawing skillz (unless of course you're an accomplished artist in which case you will have made me look a fool damn you).

JackHurst · Post by **JackHurst** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 9:44 pm

Did he look of Oriental origin by any chance? You'd be surprised how many young oriental males look like me (roughly about 50%).

Bit of a reverse lookalike this one:

Phil Reynolds · Post by **Phil Reynolds** » Fri Feb 26, 2010 9:39 am

I've had to watch yesterday's game twice as I couldn't concentrate on the letters and numbers first time through. However, leaving aside the question of whether Alex Johnston may have unseated Andrew Laycock from the title of Sexiest Contestant of All Time, I wonder if anyone else was as troublingly stimulated as I was by a rather extraordinary resemblance:

They could almost be twin brother and sister.

Puck from Glee = Jon Corby with a tan and a mohawk. Uncanny.
