      I think there are alot of people who look very similar to each other. I read the other day that 99.5% of our genetics is the same as everyone else in the worlds. i don’t think there will be someone completely identical to me though because the way that we live can also affect how we look.

      I often meet people who say they have a sister/daughter or friend that I look similar too me. Also about every 6 months someone ramdon come up to me and tells me that i look like Cate Blanchett.

      I think it is amazing that we are made up of the same 4 nucleotide bases (Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine and Thymine) as every other living organism in existance, so really we at the DNA level we are exactly the same as slugs!

      Yes, a keyboard player called Rick Wakeman! When I was younger I had a mullet and looked like Jason Donovan….which is not a good look!

      I am not sure about this. I have heard people suggest before that there is a parallel universe where people who are identical to us are living lives which are different to ours…but I am not sure I believe this. If there is someone who looked like me somewhere else in the world then I have not met them…although twice now I have been mistaken for someone called Hannah which is a little strange. So maybe there is a girl walking around called Hannah who looks just like me!
