Besides Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton, who are two celebrities you often confuse for each other?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Note they don't have to either look alike or have similar sounding names. They just have to confuse you with one another for some reason.

My two:

Richard Gere and Patrick Swayze. I'm not exactly quite sure, but I think it has something to do with the fact that both really became popular in the 1980s and both are probably best associated with chick flicks despite having a wide variety of roles in their resume. I don't know what it is, but I keep on thinking it was Richard Gere in "Dirty Dancing" and Patrick Swayze in "Pretty Woman."

[KitchenWitch]

1. Uma Thurman and Oprah Winfrey...for obvious reasons!

:P

[mac56]

2. Uma, Oprah...Oprah, Uma

Have you met Keanu?

[jobycom]

3. Monica Potter and Ashley Judd.

[AlCzervik]

4. Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman

[GreenPartyVoter]

39. Totally! And in the 80s for me it was Rene Russo and Priscilla Presley

[Orrex]

5. Jeffrey Tambor and Vincent Schiavelli

Though not so much after Christmas 2005 or so...

[KitchenWitch]

6. John Cusack and Kevin Spacey

[AlCzervik]

7. Mark Ruffalo and Ron Livingston.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. Also, Ron Livingston and Frank Whaley.

[AlCzervik]

17. Frank Whaley and Jon Cryer.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. Cryer has a much smaller head.

[AlCzervik]

22. i think Frank Whaley just has some weird hair.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

24. "Does he look like a bitch?"

[AlCzervik]

25. "What"

and i'll leave at that or else i'll be getting flamed.


:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. I made sure to put the Sam Jackson pic in for reference purposes.

:rofl:

[MrCoffee]

8. I cannot keep all the damn Kates straight

Kate Hudson, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett


I know that they're nothing alike, but still...

[AlCzervik]

9. Kate Hudson does not belong with the other 2 Kates, no sir.

[MrCoffee]

11. Hudson is the crappy can't act one who is famous because of her parents, right?

She's Goldie Hawn's kid or something? Goldie Hawn, there's another one who, for the life of me, I can't figure out why she's famous.


Yeah, see, it's the name thing i tells you.

[AlCzervik]

14. Kate Hudson to me is the female equivalent of Matthew McConaughey.

and yup, she's the daughter of Hawn and one of The Hudson brothers.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Is that why the two of them are legally only allowed to appear in movies together?

To avoid having too much mediocrity spread to thin throughout the music universe.

[AlCzervik]

23. there should be a law, same thing for Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher.

[Skittles]

31. they're trying to make those two the new Meg Ryan / Tom Hanks

ugh, not even fucking close - Hudson and McConaughey both suck

[MrScorpio]

10. Lance Henricksen and Stephen McHattie

[Throd]

12. Glenn Close and Meryl Streep

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Madonna and Fred Gwynne. The fact that he's dead makes it a bit easier.

[frogmarch]

15. John Cryer and Matthew Broderick

when they were younger.

[philosophie_en_rose]

20. Kate Winslet and Rachel Weisz

I don't know why. They have a similar aura about them.

[Dr. Strange]

21. Those two Coreys.

[InternalDialogue]

27. A couple of the three-named actresses + another

I confuse Mare Winningham and Mary Stuart Masterson because I think they look alike.

Then I confuse Mary Stuart Masterson with Mary-Louise Parker because of the three names.

I don't confuse Mary-Louise Parker with anyone, because I adore her... it just takes two other actresses to get me up to her name -- I never remember it on its own.

[dembotoz]

28. sarah palin and professor umbridge

I think the professor wore pink

[BeachBaby]

29. Laura Linney and Laura Dern.

They have the same first name - and while I can't say they're strikingly similar, they look enough like the other for me to have to check the credits to see which Laura she is.

[RubyDuby in GA]

30. Amy Adams and Isla Fisher

Amy Adams


Isla Fisher

[Shine]

32. Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro

I know, it's weird. :crazy:

[bikebloke]

33. Bill Pullman and Jeff Daniels

In the beginning. Now I have them wear big name tags in public.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

35. I sometimes confuse Jeff Daniels and Greg Kinnear

Not exactly sure why, but perhaps because they usually portray "average middle aged guy" type characters.

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. Elizabeth Hasselbeck

and Gilbert Gottfried.

[Bake]

36. Tom Brady and a Horse's Ass?

They're just SO damn similar ...

Bake

[Mojambo]

37. I sometimes get Jessica Alba and Eliza Dushku mixed up. nt

[flvegan]

38. Stephen Baldwin and Mayor McCheese.

[keroro gunsou]

40. chris meloni

and elias koteas... don't ask me why... they do look similar...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

41. I never confuse the Bills.

I don't usually confuse people. I'm good with names and faces.
Duckie

[racaulk]

42. Natalie Portman and Anna Paquin.

I'm with you, I don't know what it is. They are just very similar to me.

[Spirochete]

43. Wesley Snipes and Omar Epps

I've finally concluded that it's probably because they both played the same character in the "Major League" movies.

[PfcHammer]

44. W and dogshit

[kwassa]

45. Mary Louise Parker and Parker Posey

[IDemo]

46. John McCain and Wilfred Brimley
