Do you really get them mixed up or do you think they just look very much alike each other.

Ben E King and Percy Sledge had re-issued singles in the charts at more or less the same in 1987. Stand By Me got to number 1 and When A Man Loves a Woman to number 2. So the confusion has been there since I was 12.

Tobey Maguire and Elijah Wood.
― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, January 23, 2007

I've always mixed Tobey McGuire and Jake Gyllenhaal too, maybe because they've both played angsty teenagers.
― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, January 24, 2007

I'm watching some of Spiderman 3 on TV, so let me add Tobey Maguire and Topher Grace.

Michael Ball/Michael Bublé

soref, Saturday, 5 September 2015 00:27 (eight years ago) link

only realised this recently because there's a 20-something girl I work with who occasionally talks about how much she fancies Michael Bublé, and I always thought this was odd and was not the kind of guy I thought she would go for, and then I found out that the man I was picturing was actually Michael Ball

Two musical acts next to each other on my phone:

I know what each sounds like. I have no idea which is which.

Strictly old school:

Robert Culp/Robert Webber

The Return of the Thin White Pope (Tom D.), Sunday, 31 January 2016 12:45 (eight years ago) link

^ One way to tell them apart:

Webber appeared on most of the "NBC Mystery Movie" shows, including Banacek, Tenafly, McCloud, McMillan and Wife, McCoy, and Quincy M.E., but never on Columbo
Culp appeared on Columbo several times but never on the other "NBC Mystery Movie" shows

Ryans Reynolds and Gosling. I know who they both are, but show me a picture of one of them and I can never remember which one it is.

ailsa, Sunday, 31 January 2016 23:33 (eight years ago) link

Oh shit, I didn't even know they were different people. One of them was supposed to be the handsomest man in the world a few years back, right? What is the official organization for measuring that type of thing?
