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.

Also Haydn Gwynne and Janet McTeer.

For some reason I have a real problem telling the difference between John Simm and Andrew Scott.

Anna Madeley and Ruth Gemmell. Identical and I can never remember either name.

Definitely Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller. Also Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts are completely intertwined in my mind

Michael Sheen and Matthew Rhys… I once (years ago) made this mistake on Twitter, tagging Michael Sheen and saying how much I loved him in The Americans… he (Michael Sheen) replied (!!!) and said words to the effect of ‘not me, that’s the other Welshman!’ 🫣😳 I was mortified but he did post again saying he wasn’t offended… have loved him (and tbf also still love Matthew Rhys) ever since.

Mr Benn and the Homepride man

Matt Damon and Leonardo Di Caprio I really have a problem remembering which of them is in a particular film one or other of them is in.

Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Gosling

Katherine Parkinson and Amanda Abbingdon

doesnt help my brain that they were both in same Malteasers ad back in the day lol

Anna Maxwell Martin and Nicola Walker 😂

Took me years to realise this one!!!

Jason Watkins & Toby Jones

Robert Lindsay & Trigger from Only Fools & Horses

Keeley Hawes and Kiera Knightly. I know they’re not the same person, but I definitely get them mixed up!

Definitely!

Douglas Henshall and Josh Homme.

Andy Burnham and Rick Astley

🤣🤣🤣

Gloria Hunniford, Angela Rippon and Judith Chalmers

I agree with Jason Watkins and Toby Jones

Adam James and Patrick Baladi (they don’t even look that similar, but for a while I thought they were the same actor)

Lily James and Emilia Clarke (ditto)

Siân Clifford and Lydia Leonard (come on, you’ve got to admit that these two look alike)

Chris Martin (Coldplay) and James Morrison (also a musician).
You never see them together in the same room so...

Claire Goose and Lisa Faulkner

Also, Adam Henson and Tom Heap

I mistake Pete Wicks for Joe Wicks all the time! My brain just can't distinguish them for some reason 🤷

I am comforted by this thread, I thought it was just me being like this! I agree with lots of these, and add Joanna Scanlon and Rosie Cavallero

I didnt know that Indiana Jones and Crocodile Dundee were different people/characters and still dont know which is which
