People You Mix Up

[Alert Mongoose]

As the years are passing, I find myself mixing up people.  Having spotted an article about Esther Rantzen having cancer, my sympathy was limited until I realised I had mixed her up with the egg thief Edwina Currie.

Do any other P&B'rs get people mixed up?

Carl Weathers and Billy Dee Williams.

Keep thinking Weathers was Lando Calrissian.

Doesn't help matters when he appeared in The Mandalorian.

[Aim Here]

I'm always having to do a double take whenever either of Sam Neill and Hugo Weaving are onscreen.

 

[sophia]

I think I recall some confusion when it came to Collin Samuel and Jason Scotland.

[coprolite]

Matt Damon and one of the Wahlbergs, Marky Mark i think. 

[The Naitch]

Billy Joel and Billy Ocean - not for their looks, obviously.

Always confuse the two when their music is discussed.

[Donathan]

Not people as such, but I’m absolutely convinced that the music of Glasgow rockers Travis and the Welsh four piece Stereophonics are completely indistinguishable from one another.

I once thought, for frankly far too long, that John Collins had returned to Fulham late on on his career as there was a boy called Collins John whose name would come up on the vide-printer .

Travis and stereophonics sound nothing alike, you must be smoking crack.

Even if I live to 200, I’ll never be convinced “Have a nice day” and “Why does it always rain on me?” aren’t by the same band

Neo-lib warhawk John Bolton & naff musician Michael Bolton. Think I'd trust the latter more with defense & foreign policy tbh.

Around the same time, Fulham’s front two were the confusing Louis Saha and Facundo Sava. 

[paranoid android]

Michael Fassbender and Tom Hiddleston.

Tom Allen and Judge Rinder.

That mullet with that tache would be something special

I know there's a good one in there somewhere.

Matt Damon and Leonardo di Caprio. Couldn’t follow The Departed because i thought it was the same character. Rewatched the film about a year after the first viewing, and made the exact same mistake.

Come on to f**k here.

Seriously. Twice I had the moment halfway through the film where I went “hold on, that’s two different people”.

[the aggressive beggar]

Just started watching The Missing and said to the wife that John Hannah had a terrible Norn Irish accent.  Turns out it's James Nesbitt.  It's the accent itself which is awful.

[Thistle_do_nicely]

i spent ages thinking M Bison from Street Fighter was just Doc Brown from back to the future made up to look younger. they're not even *that* similar looking

 

it was pointed out to me that Ian McCall resembles Sir Elton John sometimes, and it's hard to unsee.

[coprolite]

I find Don Stanton difficult to distinguish from Dan Stanton.
