Sharon Cuneta reminisces about being compared to Phoebe Cates

Sharon Cuneta took her social media followers to another trip down memory lane, this time about another '80s cinema icon.

Posting on Instagram, the Megastar reminisced about comparisons to Hollywood star Phoebe Cates during her younger years.

"This is Phoebe (pronounced Fee-Bee) Cates. When I was a teenager, she and Brooke Shields were my favorite model-actors. Later on people would come up to me saying I looked like Phoebe, or magkahawig kami, or I reminded them of her or vice-versa. However you want to put it!" she wrote.

Later on people would come up to me saying I looked like Phoebe, or magkahawig kami, or I reminded them of her or vice-versa. However you want to put it! There was a time we both had long, wavy hair and I think that was when the “biglang tingin” resemblance reached its peak. It’s gotten so, that to this day members of my Megaband still call me “Phoebe.” Wala naman akong magawa (dahil ayoko nga ideny!!! Hahaha!) kundi magdasal na sana ang mga nagsabing hawig kami ay wala naman palang katarata sa mata, o mataas ang grado ng mata, o may diperensya ang mata o bulag kaya napagkamalan kaming magkahawig. Kasi siempre sino ba naman ang ayaw?! Maryosep. Kayo na ang humusga. Ako sa tingin ko, mas kamukha ko si Miss Universe na si Miss France. Pagbigyan n’yo nako sa ilusyon ko at kamukha naman s’ya ni KC eh ako naman mama nun! Okay? Thanks! Swipe left. (Hahahahahaha!)??????????????????????????????????????????????????‍????

Sharon noted that she didn't exactly dissuade people from making the comparison.
