SpicyMeatball Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) I'm sure he'd love to answer for all of Johnnies financial troubles too. The guy looks nothing like him, wayyyy too much eye liner. Should try for grease-ball Tommy Lee's look instead.

Sir Swagman Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Which is worse here? Pretending to be someone else or pretending to be something else? If the latter, almost all authority personnel are in a bad way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I guess Asians think we all look alike. Three years ago I got off one of those electric airport carts that dropped me off at the first class lounge in Beijing and I got mobbed by some Chinese girls who wanted my autograph and thought I was Jimmy Page. Other than having long hair, I look nothing like Jimmy Page. The crowd got bigger and I couldn't get into the lounge until security cleared a path so I could get in and they locked the doors behind me. There were still at least 20 people there an hour later when I got in another cart to go to the gate and some of them ran after the cart yelling "Jimmy Page, Jimmy Page".

khunPer Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Where I stay there's a Thai not only looking like Johnny Depp, but looking exactly like Jack Sparrow – he even wear same style pirate dress and make-up – many like to have their selfie together with "Jack Sparrow" that indeed looks a lot more like the original, than the man pictured by Coconuts...

Is that his younger self or the grey haired pony tail Jimmy? I’ve been mobbed for resembling Kevin Kostner but I think he looks more like me ?
