I do not look like him


Last month when we went on the cruise, three people came up to me that week and just "had to" tell me that I looked like Pierce Brosnan. I answer what I always answer to that, "Yes, I've been told that before." Usually, the person then tries to clarify, "It's a compliment!"

I'm sorry, but when you compare me to someone who is just shy of a decade older than I am, it's hard not to think, "Really, I look that old?"

Some say also that it's the way I carry myself, with a sense of confidence and knowing, while also being exceedingly polite. This is very attractive to females. It's true, women have been throwing themselves at me for as long as I can remember. I suppose males have been too, I've just got more of a blind spot there.

I got it again last week in one of my classes and everyone in class agreed and said, "Yes, that's it, I've been trying to figure out who you remind me of." Then of course a bunch of James Bond talk.

Maybe there's the slightest resemblance here. I dunno. I must be getting old.

hmmm...

Maybe...I still don't really see it. What I like is that you can look very debonair (did I spell that correctly?) at times, and then do the Flat-Face and make me dissolve into laughter.

Remmington Steele? I think not. I never understood the allure of Brosnan and you look better than him.

Interesting how they had to clarify that it was a compliment. Is that a cut to you or a cut to Pierce and his quasi-celebrity.

Maybe it's because you travel everywhere by jet pack and have poison gas hidden in your fountain pen. I am just saying. . .

I think ya do look a lot like him, but he's a hot guy in my opinion so it's a good thing!

I've been told I look like Nancy McKeon (Jo from The Facts of Life)
a few times.

OMG, you do. I think it is a lot to do with the way you carry yourself. Dang it, now I want to sleep with you again.

PS The age thing is silly. He hasn't even been seen in the last 10 years, has he?

Wow, you look like a YOUNG Pierce Brosnon...not like he does now, with the grey and wrinkles and squint and all; but when he was young and hot to young people!

Mmmmm, any comparison to PB is good!
I'd tell you what I'd like to do to/on/under/around/in/with him.

hey! Hey! Hey! At least you don't get compared to McCaulay Caulkin. I've been getting that for almost 15 years, and my response is "I'm Asian, 6ft1, black hair with brown eyes. What possible similarities do I have to a kid with blonde hair and blue eyes?" Apparently I resemble him holding his face from that Christmas movie he did when he was ...what 10? sheesh!

p.s. You do look like a movie star though...not to boost your ego too much, but you do.
