To wish Helen Baxendale and Kate Beckinsale had surnames just a bit more dissimilar

[atomicyoghurt]

This has annoyed me for years and just this very evening I couldn't remember which was which. I'm fed up with having to say 'you know the one that got bald in Friends'. Is it too much to ask?

[tracypenisbeaker]

Wasn't it Christine Taylor that was bald?

[tracypenisbeaker]

I.e Bonnie, not Emily

[Trills]

Yes. That.

[Trills]

I think you have bigger problems than woman who was in Friends vs woman who was not in Friends.

[atomicyoghurt]

Lol was it well no wonder no one knows what I'm on about.

[ScaryFucker]

Those surnames are not all that similar

[atomicyoghurt]

But really I can't believe I'm the only one who feels like this

[Trills]

The only one who thinks that Emily shaved her head?

Sorry, I think you're alone on that one.

[atomicyoghurt]

Haha I appear to have uncovered the fact that I never watched friends beyond about series 2. My bad.

[squoosh]

Have never confused the two.

I often mix the really quite good actor actor Peter Sarsgaard up with the really quite awful crooner Peter Sarstedt who sang the worst song of all time otherwise known as 'Where Do You Go To My Lovely'.

[atomicyoghurt]

They really should be more considerate when getting all famous

[LegoWidow]

Helen Baxendale used to be a friend of a friend (not sure that they are in touch still now). Her husband is a dish (or at least he was nearly 20 years ago when I was at the same party as them!)

I get Naomi watts and Naomi Harris mixed up and they dont even have the same skin colour

[MsVestibule]

10-15 years ago, at the height of Helen Baxendale's Friends/Cold Feet fame, EVERYBODY (OK, about 10 people) told me I was a dead ringer for her. Since she's lost at least 2 stone and I've put 1.5 on (damn you children and chocolate ), nobody says it anymore .

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I get confused between Peter Sarsgard and Alexander and Stellan Skarsgard. As in, who is related to who.

[Caitlin17]

Alisvolatpropiis, me too.

And can never remember who Michael Fassbender is. He has a face that makes no impression on me.

[atomicyoghurt]

I totally agree about Fassbender

[mrsjay]

And can never remember who Michael Fassbender is. He has a face that makes no impression on me.


he is one of those names you know but you couldnt make him out in a line up , It is the Naomis names i get mixed up with I was telling dd when she was watching skyfall oh that Naomi watts No mum it isn't sigh

[mrsmalcolmreynolds]

I love that Peter Sarstedt song! I think it is supposed to be pretty tongue in cheek if not I admit I have no tastewhwhatsoever?

[Heartbrokenmum73]

Hang on there! How can you not recognise Fassbender? He's fackin' gorgeous. and apparently hung like a donkey too

[atomicyoghurt]

I can't imagine his head at all?! He looks a bit like Laurence Olivier yes ?
Mrsmalcolm you might be alone there. Now I've got an ear worm of yes you do yes you do
