Billy Bragg told a story last year about being in a clothing shop somewhere in the southern USA, and when the salesperson discovered his name and that he was a singer/songwriter, she told him there used to be a Billy Bragg back in the '80s who was 'pretty good.'
Bobcat Goldthwait has a joke about someone coming up to him and saying "No offense, but has anyone ever told you that you look like Bobcat Goldthwait?"
Supposedly, Charlie Chaplin once came in something other than first (I think I read sixth, but wouldn't swear to it) in a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest.
Yeah Dolly Parton lost to a drag queen in a Dolly Parton lookalike contest 😂
Thou shalt not publish an article about looks without including a photograph.
Snopes includes a photo but there is no confirmation it is THE photo.
