I can't believe an 'intelligent women' (ahem) like me has been so confused about this.
I love KT Tunstalls music and when watching the videos I've been thinking ah wow she looks amazing now she has long hair ...it's only just clicked in my brain I've had the two totally emerged!!
KT Tunstall is not KD Lang :-/
It must be the two letter at the start of the name...no other excuse really...anyone else thought two people were the same?...

Definatly Adam Sandler and Ben stiller i have to really think about it when i see either of them in a film .

Thank you @catchyjem you're a Star

Martin Freeman and Simon Peg. Literally have no memory of Martin Freeman and all his stuff gets subsumed into Simon Peg.

Some years ago, Alex Jones and Christine Bleakley/Lampard. Not helped that they both present/ed on the One Show - I still couldn't work them out, despite the fact they have totally different accents.

Again, some years ago, when I first started watching Mock The Week (possibly repeats) I thought that Frankie Boyle was one of The Proclaimers brothers - simply couldn't work it out at all!!

Grin I have this with lots of pairs
Teddy Kennedy and Jimmy Carter
Lloyd Bridges and Jeff Daniels
Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon

UpstartCrow · 11/12/2018 16:04

I sort of get Laurence Fishburne and Morgan Freeman mixed up but only their names.

LordPickle · 11/12/2018 16:10

Andy Day and Fatima Whitbread

mydogisthebest · 11/12/2018 16:18

I would never confuse kd Land with KT Tunstall I love love love kd Lang and can't stand KT Tunstall's whiny voice

StroppyWoman · 11/12/2018 16:23

willywilly
Lloyd Bridges and Jeff Daniels?

YOu have totally freaked me out there.
Initially I'm all "No way, Lloyd Bridges was a very old man and you could see he resemblance to his sons Beau and Jeff Bridges. Young Jeff Daniels is nothing like Lloyd, he's a sweetheart in Purple Rose of Cairo, an such a love in Fly Away Home.

Then I realised he's an old guy himself now, and looked up a recent photo and you're exactly right, they do look alike as older men!

sanityisamyth · 11/12/2018 16:32

Ben Miller and Ben Stiller. Totally different to look at but can never remember which one is which!

willywillywillywilly · 11/12/2018 16:33

ha ha stroppyWoman I actually meant Jeff Bridges!! Grin

AlanThePig · 11/12/2018 16:34

Bradley Walsh and Brian Conley. Quite freaky.

It's just clicked!! KT Tunstall is not KD Lang!!
willywillywillywilly · 11/12/2018 16:35

Oh god. I've just googled. I actually meant Randy Quaid. And Jeff Daniels. They look alike. The Bridges have nothing to do with it Grin

AlanThePig yes!! I was most gutted when I heard Bradley Walsh was going to be in Doctor Who, because Brian Conley is such a twat Grin

StroppyWoman · 11/12/2018 17:45

Alan I only know Bradley through Doctor Who, and he's great. Who's Brian Conley?

amusedbush · 11/12/2018 18:13

I thought that Frankie Boyle was one of The Proclaimers brothers - simply couldn't work it out at all!!

He did a bit about that in a stand up show a few years ago - you’re clearly not the only one!

Heuschrecke · 11/12/2018 18:45

amusedbush, yes, I know! Not sure whether he/his wife read my first comment about that on MN some years ago now .... or, as you say, there are quite a few people who thought that!

MorningsEleven · 11/12/2018 18:49

Bradley Walsh and Bradley other one maybe Cooper. One's fit the other is inexplicably in Dr Who. My brain can't do it

ikltownofboothlehem · 11/12/2018 18:50

Thom Yorke (Radiohead) looks like John Simm reflected in the back of a spoon.

MorningsEleven · 11/12/2018 18:50

thought that Frankie Boyle was one of The Proclaimers

The sweary one 🤣

goforkyourself · 11/12/2018 18:56

Jennifer Garner, Hilary Swank and Rachel McAdams confuse me, all swishy brunettes with dimples. Then add Rachel Bilson to the mix ConfusedConfusedGrin

ForalltheSaints · 11/12/2018 18:56

KT Tunstall would forgive me for thinking she was KD Lang, but I cannot imagine being forgiven for choosing at a festival to see Rolf Harris instead of her.

Heuschrecke given that Frankie Boyle is persona non grata on Mock the Week, perhaps Charlie Reid could take his place!

squashyhat · 11/12/2018 19:02

Kurt Russell and the other one who is not Goldie Hawn's partner. Hang on....it'll come to me....erm....nope.

squashyhat · 11/12/2018 19:04

Yes! Just seen it upthread - Jeff Bridges!

Heuschrecke · 11/12/2018 19:07

"The sweary one". Well, you don't hear them swear while they're singing, do you?! So I assumed that one of them had lost the plot over the years Grin

This is all the more embarrassing because, back in The Proclaimers' heyday, my company was professionally involved with doing some work for their, then, record company!
