Ha ha, I've just told my husband about this thread which has prompted another (lighthearted!) rant about my idiocy. But it's clearly not just me, it was my FIL and now Poppyhat too! There must be more of us!

I can tell Matt Damon and Leo DiCap apart, honest, it's just that film!

Arf at PoshSausage Grin Yes the Jennifer Grey conspiracy. Even more suspect than the Michael Jackson swap!

Brian Connolly and Bradley Walsh are completely indistinguishable to me. It drives DH mad because he says they are totally different. Identical I say!! In fact I think there is a third one who looks like them that I get confused about as well. Will wake DH and ask him. He won't mind...

You have to se The Departed to get it Nerf, it's really a problem. I'm wondering if the producers were thinking oh shit when they realised!

Robert Downey Jr, Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (when they all haven't shaved for a week or so) - I was convinced the last one was Javier Bardem in a film I watched, but was surprised his American accent had improved so much.

GrassIsSinging · 18/04/2014 22:42

Howling@Brian Connolly and Bradley Walsh and 'the third one'...yes, absolutely!!

Brian Connolly and Bradley Walsh are completely indistinguishable to me
OH had to explain that they are indeed different people up until 3 weeks ago I was not aware that they are in fact totally separate individuals, although I've never actually seen them in the same room together

Ok I've thought of Nick Nolte and Gary Busey.
Ben Affleck and Ed Burns, had to google his name, for years I thought Ben Affleck was in saving private Ryan as
It would be plausible, always In films with Leo Dicaprio Matt Damon but turns out it was Ed Burns!

CoteDAzur · 19/04/2014 08:48

Curly & Poppy - I'm with you on The Departed. I know who Matt Damon & Leonardo di Caprio are and can identify their photos ffs Hmm but I had no idea what was happening in that film because I kept confusing their characters.
