Me:
Dodie Smith and Dodie Weir
Bill Cosby and Bing Crosby
All the Hemsworths and Chrisses in various Hollywood films blend into one for me

Yes, Owen Wilson & Matthew McC are interchangeable.
Ben Stiller & Adam Sandler, same.
I can see how this might apply to Gwynnie & C Diaz, too.

MarchionessOfMayhem · 04/11/2023 17:37

Jon Voight and Christopher Walken

No! Cameron is WAY more striking than Gwennie.

James Stewart, Stewart Granger and James Mason

I know their faces, I know who they are, but for some reason the Stewarts and James confuse me and Im all over the shop when trying to remember who they are on screen

Yes, I agree. Also, watching a film this afternoon I realised I get confused by Cary Grant, Gregory Peck and Rock Hudson. Again, know the different faces, just can’t work out who is who.
Also agree with the Hemsworths/Chrises/Ryans triumvirate. No clue.

I call everyone who is called Danielle Gabrielle. For no reason I can work out. It is weird.

user1471453601 · 04/11/2023 18:32

Mines a bit niche. Two Liverpool fc players. Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott. They both came into the first team at about the same time.

But really, that's no excuse for me confusing them. After all, one is black and one is white.

Bradley Walsh and Shane Ritchie
