when going to see Beowulf with a friend, and told Ray Winstone was in it... "What, the guy with the moustache? The famous fertility expert???"

Grin That's the sort of thing I would do. If people have the same first name, I don't stand a chance.

Laurence fish burn has a tshirt which says "I am not Samuel l Jackson" on it.

Made me smile.

Brilliant. Some of these are so funny , poor Matt Damon. And prof Winston - not enough money in infertility these days!

Absolutely agree with Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller.

Rob Brydon and Ben Miller could be brothers - but I still know which I'm looking at Grin.

Agree with Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba.

I'm sure there are more, just can't think of their names!

Oh, and Samuel L Jackson looks nothing like Morgan Freeman!

Nerf · 18/04/2014 20:53

It's because they both have lovely voices. Sort of masterful...

Robert Winston, Gene Shalit and Robin Williams. Seriously, google it, it's freaky.

I only know they're different people because DH just told me and I don't really believe him

Poppyhat · 18/04/2014 20:57

Curly blueberry
That has to have been The Departed,
I have watched that film many times ,and still confuse both the actors and their characters !
Matt Damon and Leonardo de caprio could be twins ,and it's made more complicated by the storyline ( don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it)

CannotthinkofaNN · 18/04/2014 21:24

Jimmy Nail and Tony Adams (ex footballer)

Yika · 18/04/2014 21:35

Got totally confused in LA Confidential between Russell Crowe and Kevin spacey. It was only when the character died... yet reappeared ... that I realised they were two separate people and I hadn't understood anything.

WhispersOfWickedness · 18/04/2014 21:39

Matthew McConaughey and that guy from Sweet Home Alabama, I think Josh somebody?

Josh Lucas!

I had a years and years long thing where I used to talk about 'the other Alan Rickman'. You know - the one who was in Truly Madly Deeply (no, that's Alan Rickman'. No, but the other one... the in that thing we saw - just the other week. 'That's Alan Rickman.' No, but the other one.

Turns out I was talking about Jeremy Irons.

Emilio Estefez and that chap from Bill and Ted.

More worryingly, I can't tell the difference between DS and his friend, J.

I haven't got a cat in hell's chance of identifying DD. She looks like all the other 6 year old girls. I have to identify her best friend who's quite distinctive looking, and then try to isolate which one of the girls she's talking to is most likely to be my child. I find myself going through a list - no, that one's blonde... that one has short hair... that's either DD, L or E...

I once walked past DH at the place we said we'd meet because I didn't recognise him either.

I'm fine as soon as people start talking to me or moving (apart from DS and J, who move, run and grin in the same way), but when people are just still, haven't got a chance.

Cocolepew · 18/04/2014 22:21

Anna Richardson and Dawn O'Porter. I only realised a few weeks ago they were two separate people.

Nerf · 18/04/2014 22:23

Bloody hell Looking, that's a whole new level Grin
This is making me laugh - I'm smugly thinking how can you lot confuse Damon and di Caprio here Smile
