With their flowing, red locks and flawless features, it's no surprise fans confuse Amy Adams (left) for fellow actress Isla Fisher. When asked on the Today show in November 2016 whether they get mistaken for each other, Isla confessed, “So much so actually that my husband (Sacha Baron Cohen) and I, one year for our holiday greeting card, I cut and pasted Amy Adams’ face over mine so it was Sacha, Amy and the kids... and no one noticed! "Everyone was like, ‘Oh, your card was so cute.’ I’m like, it was a joke! It’s not me – it’s Amy!” In 2013, Amy told Vanity Fair of her red-haired look-alike, "I get Isla Fisher all the time, still... But just like I tell her, it could be a lot worse. I could be mistaken for a lot worse people." Photos: WireImage/FilmMagic

Sure, Daniel Radcliffe (left) and Elijah Wood (right) have starred in magical franchises, but this wizard and hobbit are not the same person. In 2001, the Harry Potter star told GQ that he has been mistaken for the Frodo Baggins actor. “I was in Japan and someone held out a photo of him for me to sign. I couldn’t say it in Japanese so I wrote, ‘I’m not Elijah Wood but thanks anyway, Daniel Radcliffe,'" he revealed. “If I was a bit more puerile I would have written ‘The Lord Of The Rings is rubbish.’”
Elijah Wood admitted that this often happens to him too. Showing that he doesn't take himself too seriously though, the 35-year-old was happy to be the butt of the joke and wear a Harry Potter mask at the SYFY presents live from Comic Con 2016 event.

A couple years before her hit show New Girl took off, Zooey Deschanel told MTV (2009) that her comparisons to Katy Perry were a bit 'weird.'
“It’s a little bit annoying, to be totally blunt. The only similarity that we have is that we look a little bit alike,” she laughed. “I have met her before. She seems like a nice person. I’m happy that she’s famous enough now that she’s not going out and being mistaken for me.”

Zooey added, "I think we lead very different lives. At some point I feel like this will stop being a thing. I like the way my life goes. It’s sort of strange to be associated with someone that’s doing such different stuff than me. It’s weird."

Elizabeth Banks takes advantage of being compared to Chelsea Handler in order to fly under the radar. “I don’t mind being compared to Chelsea Handler at all. It helps when someone says, ‘Oh, you’re Chelsea Hander,’ and I say, ‘Yes I am.’ That gives me one more gain of anonymity,” she told Fox News in 2012. “We met at a party and were both aware people compared or confused us. She’s a great broad, real wit.”
