Cinnamon Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Rhys Ifans & Mackenzie Crook Robert de Niro & Al Pacino John Hannah & James Nesbit Joseph Fiennes & Jake Gyllenhal Colin Salmon & Chiwetel Ejiofor Kate Beckinsale & Rachel Wiesz They are all similar types I suppose,but I reckon there must be lots of people you always get mixed up with someone else?

Alis girls Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 believe me its not just celebs - i call my own kids by each others names (I've only got 2!!) I belive its a sign of age and is very common. A lot of the younger celebs i totally mix up. Can't even remember a name. you are not alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 On this forum I always confuse CraftyHunnyPie and Chicky Chicky Chicennn! (sorry, I know that later name is not right And it was a long while before I realised that Scramble and Scrambled were 2 different people! I can see why you mix up the people you mentioned, except for John Hannah and James Nesbitt. John Hannah is gorgeous, while Mr Nesbitt makes my skin crawl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&T Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 My Grandmother would never get my name right.... I came at the end of a long list she would real off.... First her eldest son, then youngest son, then my eldest male cousin, then my youngest male cousin, then my younger brothers name. She would then try my aunts name, my mums name, before eventually trying mine. Took her a good 30 seconds to get to my name! But then I am so hopeless with names, I get all the famous people muddled up... I end up referring to people as Thingy - my OH then has to translate.

Cinnamon Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 ...................it was until I told my children it was 'him from the BT ads' & they said no Mum, its Johnathan from 'The Mummy' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I always get Burt Reynolds (in later years) confused with Sean Connery. It doesn't help that I am not very good with names either and call him Burt Lancaster. OH always laughs when I say, 'oh look there's thingummy..... you know, Burt Lancaster, in this film' 'You mean Sean Connery' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 ...................it was until I told my children it was 'him from the BT ads' & they said no Mum, its Johnathan from 'The Mummy' [/q and when you said "him from the BT ads" did you mean "him" [as in James Nesbitt from the Yellow Pages ads] or "him" as that blonde one who actually is in the BT ads?

Valkyrie Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Mum's just back from staying with my brother - apparently he's been calling his baby daughter by my daughter's name! That's OK - I call OH my brother's name and my brother is called my son's name. My nan used to go through all her sisters names until she got to the name she wanted - mum said why she went through her sisters first and not her daughters she will never know. Well the same was done with me but with my mum and aunt added to the long list. She never got my brother's name wrong did she! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller. Yes, I get them confused too! anton du becke and rob bryden Now,these two I don't get mixed up, as I love Rob but loath Anton, but they do look scarily similar,don't they? At first glance either one could be the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 There's another comedian chap who looks like Anton and Rob Ryden - no idea of his name but they have them both on QI sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Reece Witherspoon & Alicia Silverstone - I always confuse them too.

Reikiranf Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 For me it's Robbie Carlisle & Christopher Eccleston Regarding getting names wrong, I used to work for a friend & in work once I called him by my husbands name & he replied by saying "yes, Lois" (his wife's name) in my defence DH is Kev & friend is Trev Thankfully I'm one of only 3 children so my great Auntie Edie always used to call me aPaul aNige Amanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Gordon Brown called Reece Renee at some do last week apparently. Not sure if thats just the name that confused him as I don't think they look at all alike. I call my DD by my sister's name a lot (my sister's middle name is my DD's first name) and my sons are usually TJack or JTom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
