Yes. I am clearly incapable of recognising anyone Blush really thought you'd all agree!
Russell Kane and Russell howard? Are they both blond and small?

I'm not sure how any of those can mix you up, YABU is my verdict :)

Samuel l Jackson and Lawrence fishbourne
Robert de Niro and al Pacino ( more who starred in which film )

RuthlessBaggage · 18/04/2014 19:33

RunnerBeen · 18/04/2014 19:34

I don't know if I could recognise half of them - but I get lots of people mixed up too. I just have no memory for faces!

MostlyCake · 18/04/2014 19:38

Ben Stiller and the guy who played Happy Gilmore

MostlyCake · 18/04/2014 19:39

...cannot tell them apart! Three a third one who looks like them as well but can't remember his name....

Poshsausage · 18/04/2014 19:39

Jennifer grey and Jennifer grey

Same person . Allegedly . But clearly not .

Doinmummy · 18/04/2014 19:40

Robert de Niro and Al Pacino - I have to think of Scent of a Woman ( Al Pacino) and Meet the Fockers ( Robert de Niro) it's the only way I can picture them.

Cheesymonster · 18/04/2014 19:41

I saw an interview with Samuel L Jackson in which he said he always gets mistaken for Lawrence Fishbourne. People yell 'Loved you in The Matrix!'.

MissOtisRegretsMadam · 18/04/2014 19:42

Sienna miller and pixie Lott

Meryl Streep and glen close, more who played who type of mix up

Adam sandler and Ben stiller

The muppets and Sesame Street

JustSquirted · 18/04/2014 19:44

For me it's Matt Damon and the other one who looks exactly like him.
Have to goggle, brb.

Sandthorn · 18/04/2014 19:45

At least your mix-ups are based on some similar characteristics. Mine are entirely on similar names. My most embarrassing yet was, when going to see Beowulf with a friend, and told Ray Winstone was in it... "What, the guy with the moustache? The famous fertility expert???" Confused Blush

Nerf · 18/04/2014 19:45

Some of you are weird Grin those people look so different !

OP posts:
JustSquirted · 18/04/2014 19:46

Mark Wahlburg.

Google is never wrong, therefore neither am I.

I googled "Matt Damon looks like" and there you go, mark wahlburg.

CurlyBlueberry · 18/04/2014 19:47

I once watched a film at my in-laws. Halfway through, my FIL paused it and asked a question that caused my husband to explode, "They're DIFFERENT PEOPLE! Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon are different actors playing different people!" He looked to me for confirmation but sadly I was just as confused as my FIL and had also thought them to be the same person Blush

That's bad isn't it?! JustSquirted were you thinking of the same? Or someone else?

Mike Leigh and Ken Loach Blush I never remember who's who and who did which film. Quite embarassed about that, actually.

I was once rambling on about 'that dull bloke that you like, Jim Diamond fella' and DH knew I was talking about Neil Young! I'd only known future Mr ElQuinto about three days at that point, 16 years on and it still comes up Grin

I don't ever mix up the same ones as you, OP.

CurlyBlueberry · 18/04/2014 19:47

Ah no you weren't, sorry!

Thomyorke · 18/04/2014 19:48

Oh yes Adam Sandler and Ben stiller with Jason Biggs looking like a younger version.
