Splitting Images: Separated At Birth
By Tina | September 11, 2007
I have trouble when it comes to certain celebs looking so much like their superstar peers, that I often have to do a double-take. Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley always throw me. So do Scarlett Johansson and Naomi Watts, while Lindsay Lohan could play a young Ann-Margret without really having to act at all! For a long time, I thought I was the only one, but then people started to tell me they had problems recognizing which blonde haired beauty was with Ellen DeGeneres (it’s Portia di Rossi and not Drea de Matteo) and once I had a friend tell me that he couldn’t quite understand what Nelly Furtado saw in David Arquette. That one really threw me until I realized he was talking about Courteney Cox! I never thought that Nelly and Courteney resembled each other, but I guess to some people they really do.
So, I cruised the web, did a little reading and found out there are a lot of people who can’t tell one celeb from another - sometimes even the wives have trouble:
“It’s difficult being at dinner with friends and have my wife go on and on about my performance in Titanic,” Mr. Pullman said. “I have to subtly remind her that I wasn’t in Titanic, but was in Spaceballs. But she doesn’t think Spaceballs is appropriate dinner table conversation.”
“Obviously I’m a big fan of my husband’s,” Ms. Hurwitz said. “But I also love Bill Paxton’s work. I’ve seen every movie he’s been in, some more than once.”
It’s so good to know I’m not alone! Some celebs who seemed to throw people off the most are (again) Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman, Don Cheadle and SNL alumni Tim Meadows, Joy Behar and Bette Midler, Jamie Kennedy and Seth Green - and the list goes on.
What celebs do you think have a superstar twin?
