When you click the images it’s uncanny

Gabby Logan and Gaby Roslin. Just thought Gaby got married and changed her surname. Only realised last week they were two separate people. Still don’t know which one is which.

As some lookalikes are very reasonably close. I do wonder how more lads dont end up in the bed with their mother in laws by accident by how they cant distinguish obvious differences 😄

Gabby Logan was Gabby Yorath when she first started on telly (and daughter of ex-footballer and Wales manager Terry Yorath). She also competed in the Rose Of Tralee in 1991 as the Leeds Rose. (Her father used to play for Leeds United).

For my 'People you thought were the same person', I'll say Jenny Eclair and Su Pollard, although I always knew that they were different people. It's just that recently when I heard Jenny Eclair was going to be on Taskmaster, I immediately thought of the very annoying Su Pollard (not that I was mad about Jenny Eclair either, but she's not as bad).

To make things worse, a few days after the first episode of the current Taskmaster aired, I saw Su Pollard being interviewed on telly for the first time in many years, which made me doubt myself.

She's 50 and still a ride.

Having watched the film Dead Shot, I thought that the lead actor playing the IRA man Colin Morgan was Benedict Cumberbatch.

Colin Morgan.

When I saw Inside Llewyn Davis in the cinema I was convinced Adam Driver, as the "outer space" guy was French actor Reda Kateb who has a supporting role in A Prophet which I'd recently seen.

Charlie Brooker (writer Brass Eye, Black Mirror) and Charlie Higson (writer Fast Show)

Brian Cox (the actor) and Albert Finney.

Matt Damon is a hybrid of Leo and Mark Wahlberg.

Shakira is a hybrid of Beyonce and Mariah Carey.

John Goodman and John Turturro.

You can imagine how confusing Barton Fink was.

John Goodman, Dan Aykroyd, the late John Belushi and John Candy... all that SNL lot who were big lads (the surviving guys have slimmed down, fair play) - used to mix them all up when I was a kid.

Speaking of John Goodman, him and Russell Crowe are almost like twins at times. another lookalike comparison is Sam Neill and Kevin Costner, Kevin at times looks like Bob Odenkirk too, but Sam doesn't as much, odd that.

Watching The Lincoln Lawyer and keep thinking Becki Newton looks a bit like Kirsten Dunst.

When the TV show Dallas got a reboot in the 2000s I think, I couldn’t for the life of me get to grips with it as all the male actors looked the same.

Oh that reminds me:

Sam Neill and Robert Wagner. Eyes are SO similar.

odyssey06

Between Sam Neill and Robert Wagner you could add Robert Vaughn into the mix...

Up to just a few days ago I casually assumed that the bald guy on Masterchef was Heston Blumenthal. I have zero interest in cookery programmes so I'd switch over if it came on. Only now know its a different guy whose name is Gregg Wallace after he started trending on Twitter because of a cringeworthy interview he did.

Watched the second season of White Lotus and thought Laga Gaga was one of lead characters.

It was only afterwards I Highley cast and realised it was someone totally different, aubrey plaza!

I had thought Tracey Ullman was in some recent shows, Black mirror and Mr Bates v the post office, it is someone completely different Monica Dolan, they are very alike.

They don’t look very similar but I used to get Benito Del Toro and Antonio Bandares (even before the advert 😂)mixed up, same with Lawerence Fishburne and Samuel L Jackson even though they don’t really look alike either.

AyeGer

Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee aswell when I was a child.
