Stars Who Have Been Mistaken For Other Celebs

While many stars are known for their unique appearances, there are several celebs who happen to frequently find themselves dealing with a case of mistaken identity! Having similar facial features or sharing a trademark hairstyle has led to some hilarious mix-ups— and even some celebrities have fallen victim to the confusion! Find out about a few of these Hollywood doppelgängers here!

Isla Fisher has frequently gotten mixed up with Amy Adams! Both stars share similar facial features, and are known for their wavy red locks. Even Lady Gaga mixed up the two at the Oscars 2014 Vanity Fair party! "And she’s heading right toward me, and she says, 'Thank you. Your performance in 'American Hustle,' Amy, was—'" Fisher recalled to Jimmy Kimmel. To make it even funnier, Fisher revealed that when Adams walked in during her interaction with Gaga, she said that she was her!

Michael Cera has frequently been mistaken for Jesse Eisenberg! The two actors certainly share similar physical traits, and as Cera shared with The New York Post, the confusion goes both ways! "I bumped into Jesse on the street once and he told me he gets it once a day," he revealed. "People think he’s Michael Cera."

Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain have been thought to be one another on multiple occasions, and the actresses agree they look alike. But their resemblance is so striking that even Howard's dad— who happens to be famous film director, Ron Howard— thought Chastain was his daughter when he saw her out in public! Bryce said her dad was "shook" by the hilarious mistake. "At first he was like, 'You really look so much alike,'" she said. "I mean, obviously, I'm incredibly flattered, so it's great."

Nathan Fillion and Jason Bateman definitely bear a striking resemblance to one another, and it hasn't gone unnoticed! "People ask me if anybody has ever told me I look like Nathan Fillion," Fillion told TV Insider. "Then, again, I’m often mistaken for Jason Bateman."

While Emma Mackey constantly gets compared to Margot Robbie, she doesn't understand why! "I genuinely just don't see it at all," the Sex Education star told the Independent of being told she resembles the Birds of Prey actress. "Like, it's lovely to be compared to Margot Robbie, but mostly I'd rather people focus on the jobs that we're both doing rather than what we look like."

Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood are both the leads of iconic franchises, yet people seem to have difficulty telling them apart! The Harry Potter star opened up a few years ago about why so many people seem to think he's Lord of the Rings star Wood. "It’s because the idea of us is the same," Radcliffe explained. "We’re both kind of short guys with big blue eyes and brown hair. And we did fantasy movies that came out at the same time."

Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry may often look similar because of their big blue eyes and blunt bangs, but Deschanel has said she isn't a fan of being mistaken for the "Roar" singer! "It's a little bit annoying, to be totally blunt," she told MTV back in 2009 about the comparison.

Keira Knightley actually appeared in a popular movie franchise with her celebrity double, which the star said has caused fans to mix them up in the past! "I've been chased through an airport as Natalie Portman," Knightley told James Corden when she appeared on The Late Late Show in 2018. "I mean, Natalie Portman [happens] a lot. I did the Star Wars thing, so I have had many pictures with Natalie Portman."

You know the similarities are there when even your own mother mistakes you for another celeb! Zoe Saldana shared that her mom constantly sees Thandie Newton in movies and television shows, and thinks that she’s looking at her daughter! "My mom still thinks that I'm in Westworld," the Guardians of the Galaxy star revealed on The Late Late Show in 2019. "I'm like, 'Years ago you thought that I was in Traffic. Mom, you did not give birth to Thandie Newton.'"
