People who in your head are the same person (when they are not)

[AuntieBiotics]

Actors, sports people, celebrities who you get muddled up or just can't differentiate between.

Prompted because I have just 3 minutes ago realised the the actors Katherine Parkinson and Kerry Godliman are not the same person.

Also, Suranne Jones and Keeley Hawes.

Gaby Roslin and Gabby Logan. Double whammy with similar looks and names!

Cross-posted!

John Hannah and James Nesbitt

Two actors both called Ryan. One is Ryan Reynolds, the other isn’t Ryan Reynolds. One is something to do with a Welsh football team, the other isn’t.

edited, read the thread now and see someone got there before me! Glad I’m not the only one.

At the exact same time! Freaky haha.

Anna Maxwell-Martin and Nicola Walker

Martin sheen and Charlie Sheen. I know they’re not the same person and I know who they are but my brain refuses to separate them!

Aren't they father and son?

Meryl Streep and Glenn Close

I literally never know which one is which unless someone tells me or name is written somewhere

I have this exact same issue, to the point where he tries to give me hints and I still can't work it out 🙈 American horror show was awful, did not recognise any of the actors when they changed hair styles each season lol

Samuel L Jackson and the actor who looks like him and does similar roles but isn't him....

after a solid minute of brain wracking - Lawrence fishbourne

Adam sander and Ben stiller

Claire Foy and Emily Blunt

Sam Neil and Kevin Costner - for many, many years I thought Kevin Costner was in Jurassic Park.

I’ve just watched The Rapture on BBC. Three of the main male characters looked like triplets to me. Yet had no relationship at all. Found it confusing as I kept waiting to hear they were all related.

Toby Stephens and Damien Lewis
Anna Maxwell Martin and Ruth Wilson
Steps and S Club

Also Anton du Beke and Rob Brydon, I’ve heard them both joke about it so it’s definitely a popular opinion.

Rob Bryson and anton du beke

Sorry didn’t read full thread 😂

Add to this Emilio Esterfez (??) and Gloria Esterfan (again no clue on the correct spelling). I know Gloria is a woman. It’s the name thing.
Oh and don’t forget to add Micheal Sheen into the equation!
It’s all one big tangle in my head at times!

Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa explains it all, Sabrina the teenage witch) and Alicia Silverstone (Clueless)

Not in every part though

Amanda abbington and Katherine Parkinson

Douglas Henshaw and Dougray Scott

I know they look completely different but for ages I thought it was one very versatile actor

Natasha Little, Zoë Telford and Lucy Robinson.

Diane Kruger and Naomi Watts
