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.

Me too. And then you add Jesse Plemmons into the mix ...

In uni a guy who knew both my husband and my friend thought i was two different people with the same name. He hadn't realised when my husband mentioned me and my friend did that they were talking about the same person.

My brother insisted that Boromir was played by Kenneth Branagh. This is a guy who has a film studies degree and is a big fan of Sharpe yet he can't recognise Sean Bean!

Many years ago it was Nicole Sherzinger and Kim Kardashian for me.

Yes! They look so similar!

Bradley Walsh and Brian Conley.
One of them was on Strictly a while back but I can't remember which because to me they're the same person.

Yes, this.
Isn't there another Ryan as well?

Ryan Philippe? I’m sure there are others too.

No! really??

Suranne jones and Michelle Keegan were always interchangeable to me at one point. They don’t actually look alike, but I think I have a bit of face blindness at times with some people ! Lol

I'm not sure the other Ryan is actually called Ryan

Tess Daly and Cat Deely.

A literary one: all the Sarahs (Waters, Hall, Perry, Moss); love them all, and their books are quite different, but I have to think very hard about which one I mean if I talk about them!

And if anyone watched/watches For All Mankind and The Bear, I thought for ages Molly's husband was the dim one from The Bear who's a busboy with lots of tattoos.

I get tom cruise and Tom hanks mixed up

Digressing abit but in my mind Leonardo Di Caprio, Christian Slater, Matt Damon.. and Morten Harket 😁.. all could be Jack Nicholson's love children.,

That’s made me giggle. One of the Sarahs is one of my closest friends, and I will pass this on to her. She will be highly amused.😃

I would watch the hell out of a black comedy where Jack Nicholson’s unacknowledged sons all show up to confront him on his deathbed.

Please do emphasise the 'love them all' bit, not that I think she's the same as several other Sarahs...!

PS If it's Sarah Waters tell her everyone is longing for another book!

Rosamund Pike, Romola Garai and Sophia Myles

I still don't know which one Ant is and which one Dec is. Or their real names.

I don't either. Individually they're always "Ant or Dec" to me.

John Simm and Martin Freeman

Jon Cryer/Matthew Broderick/John Cusack. Well back in the day anyway.

I did used to get Ant and Dec confused , but Ant is on my left as I look at the tv and Dec is right.
They also look different, which helps. Not sure why I did get them mixed up though!

Coronation Street - the undertakers sister and girlfriend. I didn't realise they were 2 separate people! I was so confused as I couldn't work out the relationship and it was all very incestuous until DH explained they were different actors 🤣.

Sara Pascoe and Katherine Ryan
