Insist that you&#8217;re telling the truth until the person feels uncomfortable and changes the subject or asks for your autograph.  If they don&#8217;t change the subject fast enough, look around frantically and say &#8220;I&#8217;m being followed by paparazzi!&#8221; then push them out of the way and rush out of the room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nYou&#8217;ll find out if you really do look like her based on people&#8217;s reactions to the statements above.  If you have to really work to get the person to believe you, then you don&#8217;t look like that much like Ally McBeal.  You&#8217;ll probably just thin and quirky.
