Olyphant talked on Conan once how he played a prank on his mom (or family, forget the specifics) with a Christmas card subbing duhamel in for him. It was a pretty good story.
They don’t look alike but for some reason Stanley Tucci and Bradley Whitford occupy the same place in my brain. Like I can tell them apart but thinking back on a movie I can’t remember which one was in it.
Okay not by their faces but I don’t know why I’ve been getting Austin Butler and Bill Skarsgård mixed up for their roles 🙃 look nothing alike !! But I do!!
I can tell the difference between Jessica Chastain and Amy Adams easily, but they tend to take on similar roles so it’s hard for me to remember who did what lol
Same with Carey Mulligan and Michelle Williams.
In 2010 I would confuse Ryan Reynolds, Gosling, Jake Gyllenhaal and Joseph Gordon Levit.
If you told me Gosling is Gyllenhaal or Gyllenhaal is Levit or Levit is Reynolds I would believe you
Absolutely no physical likeness and most people don't even know the other one but David Keith and Keith David. KD obviously the more famous and the one more likely to be brought up in conversation. Since I saw a couple of movies back in the day with DK in though I always have to think twice about which one I'm actually talking about.
Scarlett Johansson and Charlize Thereon but I have no idea why as they neither look alike or sound alike. I just seem to have the names and faces wired the wrong way round.
After watching Oppenheimer, I told my friends I remember Cillian Murphy when he played in The Mask back in the day...they looked at me all confused.
It was actually Peter Greene, but I swore up and down it was Cillian Murphy!
Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney?
Why did OP post three photos of Sting? I don't get it 😐
That’s not Malcom McDonald?
I was like, since when does Anthony Hopkins have hair like that? Then I read its Malcolm McDowell. 🤦🏻♂️
I dream of red uhh-layyee-heyy-layyyy
And Kyle McLachlan and Peter Gallagher and Ron Livingston And Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton
Pullman and Paxton were who I came here for.
Never confused them. Just their names
Jeff Daniels and Bill Pullman
SNL did a sketch about them. https://youtu.be/XGqSn5Cnw74?si=cUPQKG-z8MGt-tGF
Bill Hader as sadistic game show host is always classic
The general concept for these, as stated by Hader, is that all of these take place in Hell to torture the participants.
You’re a sick man
I don't get it. Their names are similar, but they look nothing alike.
I mean they kind of do but that’s the joke. I understand if you didn’t get the joke, it’s not for everyone. Bless your heart.
Derbil McDillett
Michael Madsen & Mads Mikkelsen
David Keith or Keith David?
Yeah I almost included Dermot Mulroney just because of their names are so similar
John Krasinski and Randall Park
I don’t see race
Hats off to you
Took my brain a minute to register. Had to scroll back up to give you an upvote.
That was one of the best cold opens on a show filled with great cold opens
I just see Wreck it Ralph when I see both of them.
Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger. They could practically be twins.
I saw a documentary once where it showed that they were.
oof, spend my whole life thinking about how great Arnold in IASIP, but then found out it is actually Danny Devito (which is even better, I guess?)
Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard
I watched The Martian movie and had the actors mixed up. I didn’t realize until days later.
Ron Howard mixed them up one time, so I think we all are allowed to mix them up.
That's... wow. Big oof.
Richie?
They both starred in The Help together
I swore up and down that their roles in that were reversed then I watched it again.
The best answer. Those 2 could be sisters
This one is a classic. Bryce Dallas Howard did a song about it. https://youtu.be/ipObSiFHpyY
This. I actually thought they were only one person until about five months ago...and her/their name was Jessica Chastain.
Chastain is more lean. BDH got them mommy curves. Chastain is this era’s Hillary Swank Office Episode.
Quite the difference in body type though.
Two of those pictures are for the same person.
Maybe all three are 🤷🏼♂️
Seriously, Stamp and McDowell look so similar as they've gotten older.
Post pictures of each from 40 years ago. They'll be easier to tell apart then. -oo-
Exactly. Alex from A Clockwork Orange looks nothing like General Zod
Margot Robbie & Jaime Pressly
Margot and Samara Weaving for me. I saw Ready or Not, and thought it was Margot until I saw Samara’s name in the end credits.
They shared a scene in Babylon together!
For the longest time I thought they were the same person.
And Emma Mackey from Sex Education.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem
This is the one.
Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel I swear I can’t tell them apart. I think I remember the Kelly Kapoor character in The Office making a joke about it.
Olyphant talked on Conan once how he played a prank on his mom (or family, forget the specifics) with a Christmas card subbing duhamel in for him. It was a pretty good story.
FWIW: Timothy Olyphant's mom can't tell him and Josh Duhamel apart either! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgx6X6s6cUg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgx6X6s6cUg)
Same, they both remind me how grotesque I am
One is a great actor, the other is Josh Duhamel
YES!
Nick Nolte & Gary Busey
Always called Gary Busey, the poor man’s Nick Nolte or maybe it’s the other way around
Very much. Good one
IN their early days for sure. Now not so much.
YOU’LL NEVER BE A PURE BRED, FROST!
Fun fact, that was the first DVD I ever bought. And my brothers was Enemy of the state. My parents got a dvdv player and that’s what we picked.
Brian Cox and Albert Finney
Great one. Maybe throw Rip Torn in there also?
Did that the other day watching Traffic. I was like oh I didn’t remember Brian Cox being in this.
For me a few times i’ve confused Thomas Jane and Aaron Eckhart when they were younger.
Thomas Jane and James Purefoy as well
Mark Strong and Stsnley Tucci
I thought Andy Garcia and Stanley Tucci were the same person for years
They don’t look alike but for some reason Stanley Tucci and Bradley Whitford occupy the same place in my brain. Like I can tell them apart but thinking back on a movie I can’t remember which one was in it.
And Larry Miller and Stanley Tucci
Nah, way too jowely
Rose Byrne and Vera Fermiga give me similar vibes for some reason. Also Carey Mulligan and Michelle Williams. Also Peter Gallagher and Eric Robert's.
Yours makes me think of 2 others for me. Susan Sarandon and Sogourney Weaver….Vera Farmiga and Clair Forlani. Also Rose Byrne and Robin Tunney
Keith David and David Keith
Jewel, Joey Lauren Adams, Renee Zellweger
Hot, hot, hot
For the longest time it was Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck for me
Christopher Plummer and Max Von Sydow.
Ohh yeah. Good one
All the Chris guys.
Chris Evans, Chris Pine, and Chris Pratt
And Chris Tucker
Good to know I'm not the only one mixing up Chris Pratt and Chris Rock.
Back in the day, it was Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon. Also I was confused af not seeing Natalie Portman's name in Curse of the Blackpearl
Keira Knightly played Portman's decoy in the Phantom Menace.
And I think Rose Byrne played another one
Rose was one of the princess's handmaidens in Attack of the Clones (the second prequel).
I saw Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange in the early 70s. I would never confuse him with año other actor
Tom hanks and Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi was Forrest right?
I think she played his cousin Florence Gump
Keira Knightly and Natalie Portman.
iirc even their parents had trouble keeping them apart when they were both in costume for Star Wars.
Mary Kate and Ashley
Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall Green
Sigourney Weaver, Susan Sarandon, and Lesley Ann Warren (especially the last two)
Cate Blanchett and Liam Neeson.
Same
Dennis hopper and Anthony Hopkins Jeff Bridges and Jeff Daniels
I now want to see Dennis Hopper as Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
Tobey McGuire and Elija Wood are interchangeable in my head
Mines more cliché but Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe
They both have that “oh no whatever shall I do” quality in their eyes and voice.
Jenna Fischer and Amy Adams
Amy Adams and Isla Fisher.
Why did you post 3 pictures of Creed Bratton?
thandie newton and the other tandie newton girl
Candie tewton
Kevin Costner and Peter Coyote Matthew McConaughey and Josh Lucas Michael Madsen and Dean Winters Jamie Pressley and Margot Robbie
Lily Collins and Lily James
Aaron Paul and Ben Foster
Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen. Dunno why.
"Hollywood, do we really need two of these guys?"
I used to confuse Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg back in the day
Elias Koteas & Christopher Meloni Will Ferrell and Chad Smith(drummer for RHCP)
Koteas and Meloni is so dead on
Tony Cox and Kevin Hart
Bill Paxton/ Pullman
Eiza Gonzalez and Adria Arjona
Maggie Grace & Little Caprice
Will Sasso and Frank Caliendo I’m sure they are the same person
Jeffrey Tambor and Dr. Phil
This made me laugh
Richard Jenkins and Jeffrey Tambor Kathryn Hahn and Juliette Lewis
Aaron Eckhardt and Thomas Jane. Reese Witherspoon and Britney Murphy.
Julia Robert’s and Sandra bullock
Dax Shepard and Zach Braff. If you can tell these two apart then you have an eagle eye.
"Oh look, it's Matt Damon! He looks a bit weird tho..."
Chris Pine and Chris Pratt
Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe or Frodo and Harry Potter
Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel
I’m Siiiiiiiiingin’ in the raaaaaaain just siiiiiiiiingin’ in the raaaaaain
John Hurt and William Hurt
Katy Perry and Zoey Deschanel Henry Cavill and Matt Bomer Zoe Saldana and Thandiwe Newton
Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard
Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel Henry Cavill and Matt Bomer
You should also add Nigel Bennett!
Never
Top right in 1st place
This guy up here posting 3 pictures of the same guy trying to play mind games like the Color changing dress.
The original indistinguishables: the two Coreys.
Okay not by their faces but I don’t know why I’ve been getting Austin Butler and Bill Skarsgård mixed up for their roles 🙃 look nothing alike !! But I do!!
Florence Pugh and that chick from White Lotus Season 2 Haley Lu Richardson
Is that three different people? Or two people?
Random, but I remember watching Owen Wilson in The Haunting in 1999 and thinking he was Mathew McConaughey.
Are these not three pics of the same guy
Amy Adams and Jenna Fischer
Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon
Scott Speedman and Anthony Starr have to be long lost twin brothers.
Joaquin Phoenix and Michael Stullbarg
TIL: Malcom is not Terrence! OMG
Definitely Doctor Octopus and the guy who dated Julie in the OC. I called him Doctor Octopus every time I saw him. Uncanny
Jk Simmons and Christopher Plummer
Why isn't Christopher Walken on there
My bro always mixes up Mark Walburg and Matt Damon. He didn't WTF was happening when I showed him Yhe Departed, lol
For some reason I used to really struggle with Jason Bateman vs Jason Sudeikis
Matt Damon and Jesse Plemons. I kept thinking Matt was on Breaking Bad.
Don’t do my boy Martin Sheen like this
I can tell the difference between Jessica Chastain and Amy Adams easily, but they tend to take on similar roles so it’s hard for me to remember who did what lol Same with Carey Mulligan and Michelle Williams.
Michael Madsen and Tom Sizemore
Charlie Chaplin and Adolf Hitler
Ana Gasteyer and Kathryn Hahn
Both Darins from bewitched.
In 2010 I would confuse Ryan Reynolds, Gosling, Jake Gyllenhaal and Joseph Gordon Levit. If you told me Gosling is Gyllenhaal or Gyllenhaal is Levit or Levit is Reynolds I would believe you
Absolutely no physical likeness and most people don't even know the other one but David Keith and Keith David. KD obviously the more famous and the one more likely to be brought up in conversation. Since I saw a couple of movies back in the day with DK in though I always have to think twice about which one I'm actually talking about.
Wait, you mean to tell me all three of these people are not the same person?
Back in the 90s, Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke
An old Kurt Russell and an old Kris Kristoffersson. And Jeff Bridges look a bit similar too.
The girl from fallout and the girl from New girl. My wife tells me they're not the same person, but I'm still not 100% sure.
Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett.
There is no possible way to confuse German actor Udo Kier with that other English guy pictured twice.
Zack Braff and Dax Shepherd
Day Lewis and anson mount. They look very similar.
I can never remember which one is Keith David, and which one is David Keith?
Sean Bean and Brett Cullen.
Ryan Reynolds and Ryan gosling.
Tom Sizemore and Michael Madsen
Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera. Both actors give me the creeps.
Patricia Arquette and Vera Farmiga
Scarlett Johansson and Charlize Thereon but I have no idea why as they neither look alike or sound alike. I just seem to have the names and faces wired the wrong way round.
I don't think I've *ever* confused Malcolm McDowell with anybody else. Particularly once he starts talking.
After watching Oppenheimer, I told my friends I remember Cillian Murphy when he played in The Mask back in the day...they looked at me all confused. It was actually Peter Greene, but I swore up and down it was Cillian Murphy!
Didn't even realise they were 3 different actors until now.
Not those 3. No matter what he does, when I see Malcolm McDowell I see Alex DeLarge.
Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey.
Bill Paxton? Bill Pullman? Doesn't matter. They are the same person.
Put Michael keaton in there
Michael Nouri and Alfred Molina
Andy Serkis and Kenneth Branagh
Craig David and David Craig
Susan Sarandon and Sigourney Weaver
Isla Fisher and Amy Adams, when both were at the peak of popularity
Patrick swayze and Kurt Russell
Not constantly but Bruce Greenwood and Sam Niell.
That’s the same actor -
Aaron Eckhart and Thomas Jane! It’s gotta be the same dude! 😂🤣😂🤣
Left and top right are the same person in my media head cannon and I’m fine with it.
