Oh Jesus... There I go again. Nikki, I read that and thought "what, Ashley Judd? The guy who used to go out with Demi Moore???"

OwlinaTree · 19/04/2014 10:50

Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Garner. Always mix then up!

SarahAndFuck · 19/04/2014 10:52

Alexander Pointless and Neil Patrick Harris.

Holycowiloveyoureyes · 19/04/2014 10:59

Robert de niro and Al Pachino.

John Candy and John Goodman look like the same person to me, apparently one of them is dead, but I couldn't tell you who.

Christine Bleakley and the One Show woman are one and the same I'm sure.

Yes yes to Bradley Walsh and Brian Conelly.

I'm sure there's more. DH despairs of me.

KurriKurri · 19/04/2014 11:01

Kevin Spacey and John Cusack

Matt Damon/Ben Affleck and all those actors who look exactly like that.

Owen Wilson and Jude Law (I know they don't look a like but for some reason I muddle them)

Robert De Niro and My Uncle Tom

RollerCola · 19/04/2014 11:06

Oh yes, Ben Affleck and Ryan Reynolds confuse me. And Brandon Flowers of the Killers also looks like Ben Affleck.

RollerCola · 19/04/2014 11:11

And Zooey Deschanel (think I've spelled that right) confuses the hell out of me because she looks like loads of other people. Mainly Katy Perry I think.

Nerf · 19/04/2014 11:16

This is so funny - Hollywood could really just have two or three actors wearing different hats and we'd all be fooled.

DMCWelshCakes · 19/04/2014 21:16

Robert de Niro, Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman confuse the hell out of me! I can't cope with The Godfather at all. Grin

CoteDAzur · 19/04/2014 22:12

Has anyone here seen Christopher Nolan's The Prestige with Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale? That film is diabolical for the facially challenged. See photos here and tell me if I'm wrong Shock

KeepCalmAndLOLKittens · 19/04/2014 22:16

Has anyone said Steve Martin and Lesley Nielson? My DH thinks my face blindness is amusing. Me not so much - I am a teacher!

This Jennifer grey conspiracy is it that she was in dirty dancing and in friends but looked nothing like how she looked in dirty dancing. I also get Ben Stiller and adam Sandler mixed up and Robert De niro and Al Pacino I think or maybe I,m thinking of someone else!

Nerf · 20/04/2014 17:39

Off to google Jennifer grey

JG had a lot of plastic surgery after Dirty Dancing, and used to get furious that nobody recognised her any more Confused Grin

De Niro and Cage are different ages, and have very different face shapes. I think. Al Pacino is unique IMO. Are Selleck and Reynolds not from different generations too? My problem isn't faces as much as names. I'm always noticing 'thingmay that was in thingmay'.

There was a funny-ish story a few months ago - an American journalist who mistook one brown-skinned US actor for another. I think Samuel Jackson was one. Whoever was being interviewed was pretty annoyed. I wish I could remember who were involved. The interviewer was very Blush, understandably.
