How to tell these often mixed up celebrities apart.

Bill Paxton-- Aliens
Bill Pullman – Independence Day

Ryan Reynolds – Funny
Ryan Gosling – Takes himself far to seriously.

Also, here is a tweet by Reynolds on how to tell them apart:

Michael Cera
Jessie Eisenberg
There is no difference. This is the same person.

Didn’t help. I’m not cured.

Bill Paxton - Idiot
Bill Pullman - Bland Guy

Garrison Keillor: old, slightly amusing

Rainn Wilson: younger, slightly amusing

Seth Rogen: somewhat amusing
Seth Green: not at all funny

Seth Rogen - 40 Year Old Virgin
Seth Green - Cartoons – Had to Google him to remind myself what he looks like.

Help me with these pairs:

Michael Ontkean and John Shea
Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel
Susan Floyd and Daphne Zuniga

I never know which one I’m seeing.

I’ve totally given up on trying to tell the Baldwin brothers apart in older movies. Alec in 1990 looks like William in 2000, and I’m never quite sure what Daniel looks like. Stephen got fat at some point, but then I think he might have gotten thin again, and anyway, I don’t watch many of his films.

Katy Perry - Can sing
Zooey Deschanel - Thinks she can sing but can’t.

The Baldwins I can tell Alec from all of them because he’s their father. I think Stephen is the one that looks like a doofus but I can’t be sure.

No, it’s hopeless.

What if they aren’t singing?

They all start to look like doofuses eventually.

Don’t quote me but I believe Katy’s tits are bigger. Of course, if they are not standing side by side that would be hard to tell. If you look deeply into the eyes and you see deep, dark regret tinged with shame, then that’s Katy. It’s all she has left after marrying Russel Brand.

You have the Seths mixed up.

Besides it’s Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill I have problems with.

Also:

David Keith: An Officer and a Gentleman.
Keith David: The Thing

Giovanni Ribisi - Phoebe’s brother
Billy Joe Armstrong - Doesn’t wanna be an American idiot

I seriously thought they were brothers for the longest time.

I still can’t tell Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman apart, even when they are side by side.

It’s not always about ti…WHAT AM I SAYING??? :eek:

Bill Paxton - Chet from Weird Science
Bill Pullman- Bland guy

Me neither.

Jeff Daniels- insufferable over-actor
William Hurt- insufferable over-actor, who didn’t suck in Broadcast News.

Jennifer and Meg Tilly. I can NEVER remember which is which.

For quite some time, possibly several years, I believed that Chelsea Handler must be one of the hardest working women in show business. Then I discovered that she is not actually the same person as Elizabeth Banks.

I’m still not sure I could tell them apart based on looks, but I have figured out that Elizabeth Banks is by far the more prominent and prolific actress and that in every case where I wasn’t sure if an actress was her or Handler it was in fact Banks. While Chelsea Handler has done some acting she is far better known as a comedian, TV host, and writer.

I can distinguish between the people, but I struggle to remember for more than a few minutes at a time which singer is named Adam Lambert and which one is named Adam Levine. I’m forced to refer to one as “you know, the one with all the eye makeup” and the other as “not the one with all the eye makeup”.

I thought you meant Chelsea Perretti at first. “Really? You get them confused?”

As for the Tillys. Meg is the serious one that you haven’t seen in forever. Jennifer is the dingbat poker player.

Venus and Serena Williams. I can NEVER remember which is which.

Jennifer is the baby-talking one whose presence in film has been, and always will be, a mystery for the ages. I loathe the woman.
