Has anyone ever told you you look like Angelina Jolie?
This is a sweet one and it’s bound to work. Ok, if you’re chatting up to a round-ish but fit black chick with a nice face and an attitude, it’s best to replace “Angelina Jolie” with “Serena Williams”. In fact — on the whole — it’s best to look first and pick a matching celebrity later.
For the record, this line will also allow you to save your face if you’re really desperate to keep your “cool” when blown off. Please keep in mind that the following conversation is not recommended, but it’s an option:
— Hey there, has anyone ever told you that you look like Jennifer Lopez?
— No. Get lost, you creep!
— No? Good, because in fact you don’t look like her at all.
All that said: 10-to-1 chance you’ll be bringing a smile to the face of the Jolie lookalike in question. Especially if she turns out to be Angelina J. herself.

I write it more specific i.e. “Has anyone told you that your eyes are as pretty and alcoholic as Angelina Jolie has?” and this definitely works man.

Heh Dom. For some odd (and topical) reason I can’t help thinking of the line:
— Hi there, has anyone ever told you that your stretch marks are as impressive as Angelina Jolie’s?

And make sure it’s someone young. I get told all the time that I look like Andie MacDowell. Yeah, she’s gorgeous, but she is also about 20 years my senior! 🙁

I’m sure your mum looks like Andie 🙂
