It’s hard for me to watch Hugh Grant movies. They are almost always romances, and it just feels awkward to see my husband up there on the screen with other women. I am married to Hugh Grant.
OK….maybe not technically. But close.
Jealous?
Last night, while folding laundry and watching a Hugh Grant movie, CandyMan finally admitted that he could see what everyone has been saying for years. He looks like Hugh Grant (and Ben Affleck, too….but that’s another post). People have stopped him on the street and told him that he looks like the famous actor, and yet he has consistently denied the resemblance.
I’ve always thought it was funny that he couldn’t see himself in Hugh. I see it, not only in the shape of his face (particularly his eyes) but in the way they both move. Actually, the mannerisms make the resemblance even stronger. Yes, this could be my husband:
In fact, I had the kids giggling in front of the computer this morning as I showed them these video clips. Even they can see it looks like Daddy.
Me? I’ve always looked like Shirley Temple and Judy Garland. Who do you look like?

Oh, there is a lot of Ben Affleck in your husband’s visage. Lucky, LUCKY you.
For the record, that video from “Music and Lyrics” is one of my favorite pieces of media of all time. I think I’ll watch it again right now. Priceless.

I can totally see you looking like Brooke and Kate….not Sarah Jessica Parker so much. ;)
Lolli says
I can totally see Natalie Wood in your picture!
Lolli says
That is incredible! I’ve been told that I look like Elizabeth Shue, too! I’d love to compare pictures of the two couples, side by side, to see if any of us look like each other! LOL
Lolli says
Between my movie star husband and my own blogging fame, we have to wear disguises when we go out together. It can be rough. LOL!
Lolli says
You’ll have to do one of those celebrity look alike programs online to see which movie stars you look like. It’s kind of fun! ;)
Lolli says
Do people say that you look like someone you don’t like? That would stink. How funny about your husband and Al Gore!
Lolli says
It’s the mannerisms that get me more than anything! How fun that your dad looked like Harrison Ford!
Anne says
How funny. I can see the resemblence but I think he looks more like Ben Affleck. You could really play this one up on the street…LOL
My Dad looked like Harrison Ford. When we saw Harrison Ford being interviewed on Oprah we could’t believe that they even had the same mannerisms…… too funny.

I’ve had people say, “You look like so and so ” – and then I just want to cry – so when people try that with me, I just walk away (well, I want to) – however, during the 2000 election – people would go up to my husband while shopping or even at McDonalds and think he was Al Gore – not that was before Gore got that crazed, swine-kind of look in his eyes – LOL!
I would rather he looked like Hugh Grant – just not vacillating like his characters are:)
Jacqui says
Hmmm…. I’ve been told that I remind random people of other people in their lives, but never a movie star. Boring!! Lovely that your hubby looks like Hugh — and he really does! Stopping by from SITS.
Julie says
With a movie-star husband like that, I hope that you avoid the paparazzi all around town. ;-)
And I’ve been told that I look like Dido. I *may* see a resemblance in that… but now I’m wishing I had her life. Or her voice. Well, maybe both.
Jennifer @ The Mommy Mambo says
Hugh’s a hottie! Lucky girl, you are!
My man looks like Ben Affleck, also. (well, more so when he had more hair, LOL)
In my skinnier/longer hair days I was told, often, I looked like Nicole Kidman!!! But mostly now I hear, Elizabeth Shue. I’m still totally flattered!
Colleen says
I can see the Hugh resemblance but even more so, I can see Ben.
CDScott says
I see it, especially Ben Affleck. Funny! Here’s an old post of mine about who I resemble…I can’t tell you who. It would give it away.

alicia says
He does resemble Hugh Grant A LOT! I’ve been told a mix between Brittney Murphey (so sad she’s gone) and meg Ryan, but I don’t see it.
Lori says
He sure does! When I put my hair up lately I hear how I look like Sarah Palin.
Erin says
He does look like hugh grant! I was always told I look like a light haired Natalie Wood
melissa says
that’s crazy!! wow, he really does look like him!
when i was young, i was told A LOT…brooke sheilds.
now? when i’m thin, sarah jessica parker, which i’m not so happy about. and kate winslet which i’m ok with.
Lolli says
That’s a good person to look like! :)
liz says
i see Ben in that photo, for sure!
i look a lot like Rose Byrne (do you watch Damages at all?)
Lolli says
It’s hard to find a picture that looks exactly right. Like I said, it’s in the mannerisms and the silly looks they do. And those are hard to capture on camera.
Jac says
LOL! He really does look so much like him!! That’s crazy :) I see a cross between Ben Affleck and Hugh Grant totally!
