Given a locally compact quantum group $\G$, we study the question of when completely bounded homomorphisms $\pi:L^1(\mathbb G)\rightarrow\mathcal B(H)$ are similar to *-homomorphisms. By analogy with the cocommutative case (representations of the Fourier algebra $A(G)$) we are lead to consider the associated map $\pi^*:L^1_\sharp(\mathbb G) \rightarrow \mathcal B(H)$ given by $\pi^*(\omega) = \pi(\omega^\sharp)^*$. Completely bounded homomorphisms $\pi$ of $L^1(\mathbb G)$ are in a one-to-one correspondence with corepresentations $V_\pi$ of $L^\infty(\mathbb G)$. Our main technical result is that $\pi$ and $\pi^*$ are both completely bounded if and only if $V_\pi$ is invertible (if $\pi$ is non-degenerate). An averaging argument then shows that when $\mathbb G$ is amenable, $\pi$ is similar to a *-homomorphism if and only if $\pi^*$ is completely bounded. In the cocommutative case, we show that the assumption of complete boundedness is essential. We also give some further cases when completely bounded homomorphisms $\pi$ of $A(G)$ are similar to *-homomorphisms without further assumption on $\pi^*$.
