People you thought were the same person

Has anybody mixed two well known people up? I used to think Georgia Moffett (Doctor Who) and Georgina Moffat (Skins) were the same person, due to their similar looks and name.

I used to love Shameless and was convinced that the actor who played Carl also played a character in Emmerdale, Daz I think. But later found out they were twins. To make it more confusing the actor playing Daz then took over as Carl. Nuts https://www.thesun.ie/tv/9270998/emmerdale-shameless-twins-luke-elliot-tittensor-unrecognisable/

Boy George and George Michael

Had no doubt in my mind that Francis (Christopher Masterson) from Malcolm in the Middle also played Barney Stinson in how I met your mother (Neil Patrick Harris) even though I knew that was Dougie Howser which aired a decade before MIM.

Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio. You can imagine how confusing The Departed was.

I used to think that Garret Fitzgerald was also our milkman when I was a child. I even called him the Taoiseach once, everyone started laughing, except the milkman. It must have been following hm everywhere.

joeguevara · 24-12-2022 9:13pm

A few years ago I started going out with a girl. After a few months we went to a family party in her hometown 100s of miles from where I’m from and the only person I knew was her. I proceeded to get really drunk and mistakenly slept with her twin. Like it was an easy mistake for me to make, but he should have known better.

micar · 24-12-2022 11:30pm

The character Frank Spenser played by Michael Crawford in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and the character Eddy played by Nick Moran in Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels.

For a while I convinced myself they were played by the same person........they are 20+ years apart

mazdamiatamx5 · 24-12-2022 11:33pm

Ratko Mladić has a regular comedy routine about being mistaken for various people he looks nothing like, including Stewart Lee, with the self-depreciating punchline “Stewart Lee has let himself go…”.

StevenToast · 25-12-2022 11:49pm

Frank Vincent and Dennis Farina.......

Big Bag of Chips · 25-12-2022 11:58pm

I thought until about 2 years ago that Gloria Estefan was married to Emilio Estevez.
