AMY ADAMS AND ISLA FISHER

Isla Fisher says she's frequently mistaken for Amy Adams—even by other celebrities. She shared a story with Jimmy Kimmel about being mistaken for the Oscar-winner by Lady Gaga at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscar party. "I was there, all excited and dressed up at the bar and you know, schmoozing with show biz types, and the crowds parted, and there was Lady Gaga," she said. "And she’s heading right toward me, and she says, ‘Thank you. Your performance in American Hustle, Amy, was—‘ And I’m thinking, Oh my gosh, it’s Lady Gaga. I love her so much. I don’t want to tell her the truth. So I just gracefully thanked her, bowed my head, okay? And then she wants to talk about the performance, and now I’m thinking, I don’t want to be a liar… And then I look over her shoulder and there’s Amy Adams walking into the party. So I’m like, ‘There’s Isla Fisher.’ I said, ‘She’s not even nominated for anything. What’s she doing here?’"

It is actually really frustrating.'" Photo: Getty

"It was fun to be human and to wave and be like, ‘What’s up, man?’, but [the paparazzo] was like ‘Where are you going?’ And I said, ‘Um, we’re going for some food, why are you filming me?’ And he stopped and you could see he was like ‘Oh sh*t.’ He thought I was f*cking James Franco," he said.

ELIZABETH BANKS AND CHELSEA HANDLER

Banks and Handler are both aware that they look a lot alike and Banks, for one, is 100% okay with it. “I don’t mind being compared to Chelsea Handler at all. It helps when someone says, ‘Oh, you’re Chelsea Hander,’ and I say, ‘Yes I am.’ That gives me one more gain of anonymity,” she told Fox News in 2012. “We met at a party and were both aware people compared or confused us. She’s a great broad, real wit.” Photo: Getty

MARK WAHLBERG AND MATT DAMON

Back in 2013, Wahlberg shared a post on Facebook about a fan who thought he was Damon. The fan screamed, "MATT DAMON!" at him and he graciously took pictures with her and didn't correct the mistake.

PRINCE HARRY AND ED SHEERAN

Basically, if you're a redheaded Brit, people are going to think you're Ed Sheeran—even if you're actually royalty. Margot Robbie even confused Harry for Ed at a party once. "When I saw him in those glasses, I was like, 'Oh my god, I didn't know Ed Sheeran was at the party!'" she said. "He got really offended. He was like 'Shut up.'" Photo: Getty

DANIEL RADCLIFFE AND ELIJAH WOOD

During an interview with Marc Maron, Radcliffe talked about being mistaken for Wood. If you approach him and ask if he's the famous hobbit, you'll be very disappointed. “If you come up and say, ‘Are you Elijah Wood?’ I’ll say no, and I won’t tell you who I am,” Radcliffe explained. As for why they're mistaken? “It’s ’cause the idea of us is the same,” he said. “We’re both short guys with big blue eyes and brown hair. And we did fantasy movies that came out at the same time.” Photo: Getty

ZOOEY DESCHANEL AND KATY PERRY

The wide-eyed stars are often confused for each other. In 2009, Deschanel admitted that the situation could be kind of annoying. “It’s a little bit annoying, to be totally blunt. The only similarity that we have is that we look a little bit alike,” she told MTV. “I have met her before. She seems like a nice person. I’m happy that she’s famous enough now that she’s not going out and being mistaken for me.” By 2011, however, her attitude about their lookalike status seemed to have softened. She even jokingly suggested on Instagram that they go as the twins from The Shining for Halloween. Photo: Getty
