I just was watching that VH1 weight loss show, and I told my brother, "You know, I think Gary Busey was once people magazine's sexiest man one year". "Gary Busey???" ".. yeah, i know. Actually.. let me check that". So I go to wikipedia.com, which has become my favorite site as of late, and they mention "Gary Busey is often confused with Nick Nolte". My brother mentions they're like the same damn person. Anyway, got me thinking, not exactly the look but the feel of a few different celebrities has me confuse them with each other. A friend mentioned Elijah Wood and Tobey Maguire are like 2 people following the same life. Both hit movies, little guys with fans for those films. And really, they feel near identical when I think about both. Meanwhile, my little brother and sister keep trying to tell me Donnie Darko is Spider-man. Obviously hollywood felt the same, nearly casting Jake Gyllenhaal for Spider-man 2. Same damn mouth. So anyway, what celebrities do you confuse? Here's my choices of 2 people who could transfuse into one without me noticing.

Gary Busey

Nick Nolte

Jessica Biel

Kate Beckinsale(doesn't help one was in Blade III and the other in Van Hellsing)

 

[DMczaf]

WTF, you posted the same picture of Nolte :lol He's even wearing the same suit.

Edit: Damn you found it

 

[Brian Fellows]

Kate Beckinsale is hot!

 

[Laguna X]

Maybe because it's really late and my eyes may be failing, but I don't think Biel looks anything like Beckinsale.

 

[J2 Cool]

WTF, you posted the same picture of Nolte :lol He's even wearing the same suit.

Edit: Damn you found it

:lol Sorry, I used yahoo image search and I'm like "ah, there's an old haggard looking gary busey" :lol :lol :lol Btw, found this.

Maybe because it's really late and my eyes may be failing, but I don't think Biel looks anything like Beckinsale.

You may be right, but for me the fit into the same filing cabinet in my brain. Never have done anything to make them notably different from each other, are mentioned about the same ammount of times, I have about an equal interest in both.. Though searching for images, I find Beckinsale hotter. Still, I won't remember either of them as different in my brain. Just a blurred version of each.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

when i was a kid i used to ALWAYS confuse DeNiro and Pacino. I still get Rob Lowe and Ray Liotta mixed up (though not so much anymore since Liotta got fat)

 

[Laguna X]

I fit them into the same filing cabinet in my brain as well. I have them filed under "people I need to fuck".

 

[DMczaf]

 

[J2 Cool]

Anyway, a few others who look similar though they each hold their seperate place in my... heart. Damn you Full House.

:lol :lol And they spent all that money on CG.

 

[demon]

I used to always confuse Christian Slater with Kevin Bacon.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

also, the president from Independence Day and the dude from Twister.

 

[Zaptruder]

Chris Rock vs Chris Tucker.

Both obnoxious black comedians that use high pitched whiney voices and have similar builds.

 

[demon]

also, the president from Independence Day and the dude from Twister.

Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton. Bill Paxton fucking rocks. Bill Pullman's a tool.

 

[Brian Fellows]

You beat me too it but ....

Oh and Sam Cassell is GOD!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton. Bill Paxton fucking rocks. Bill Pullman's a tool.

or is Bill Paxton a tool? And Bill Pullman the one that rocks? I rest my case.

 

[Hitman]

I get Nolte and Busey confused too. Same with Elijah Wood and Tobey Maguire. In fact I still don't really know which one was in Sin City.

 

[demon]

or is Bill Paxton a tool? And Bill Pullman the one that rocks? I rest my case.

No, it was right the first time. Bill Paxton is fucking awesome. Movies like Aliens, True Lies, and A Simple Plan are proof of that. And he was Coconut Pete. Totally a more diverse actor than that stupid fucker Pullman. He can pull off a realistic, solemn performance in one movie, and be totally fucking hilarious in another (True Lies). That stupid fucker Pullman has never made me laugh.....well, maybe not intentionally (that stupid fucker's speach in ID4 always cracks me up).

 

[Red Scarlet]

Bill Pullman rocks for being Lone Starr in Spaceballs, though.

 

[Polari]

Susan Sarandon and Sigourney Weaver

Looks like Kate Beckinsale got a boob job.

 

[spliced]

Tom Selick and Ted Danson
Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert
Gary Busey and Nick Nolte
Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman

 

[Zeo]

 

[temp]

Not so much anymore, but for a while I couldn't tell the difference.

 

[Prospero]

when i was a kid i used to ALWAYS confuse DeNiro and Pacino.

Ha--a couple of weeks ago I watched Heat with a friend of mine who hadn't seen it before. After about twenty minutes she said, "Wait--I'm confused. This guy commits robberies, and then changes clothes and solves his own crimes??"

 

[Companion Cube]

SISTER OR (ex?)GIRLFRIEND?!

That's the best premise for a movie I've ever heard.

 

[Companion Cube]

:lol Exactly what I thought. Actually, there is a movie kind of like that...

It's called

Spoiler

Hide & Seek.

Also starring

Spoiler

DeNiro!

Awesome.

 

[heavy liquid]

I used to always get James Spader and Andrew McCarthy mixed up. Not so much anymore though, not that they've both aged.

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

Matthew mcconaughey and woddy harrelson.



When that dragon movie came out, I'm like DAMN! Harrelson got cut the fuck up!








:lol

 

[F.Be@PSG]

and... OMG! I can't remember the other one.

 

[Shubit]

Ashley Judd?

Oh the McCounaghey Lucas one is dead on. Couldn't tell the fuckers apart for the life of me.

 

[Ecrofirt]

Haha, the Nick Nolte one is exactly what I was going to come in here with.

 

[milkyjay20]

Even though both are awesome.

 

[ChennehCis]

Morgan Freeman is oftenly mistaken for Samuel Jackson according to an interview I heard on ET back in the day :lol

 

[Shig]

Sean Astin:

Eric from Entourage (on right, obviously):

"I don't remember his name being in the opening credits..."

 

[Marty Chinn]

I don't confuse them, but damn the similarity is uncanny.

 

[FoneBone]

Keith David and David Keith.

 

[Shubit]

Sam Rockwell ... meet ... Eric McCormack

 

[robertsan21]

OMG hollywood is full of inbreads!

 

[Blatz]

But seriously

I just keep mismatching the name to the face....

 

[MrPing1000]

can't believe it took that long

 

[Particle Physicist]

Sean Astin:

Eric from Entourage (on right, obviously):

"I don't remember his name being in the opening credits..."

they're not the same person?! holy mind fuck batman!

 

[Matlock]

 

[demon]

 

[Hilo]

and... OMG! I can't remember the other one.

Naomi Watts, perhaps?

 

[Matlock]

Not even close.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

It's like they were twins seperated at birth

I can't tell the difference! WHO'S WHO?

Then I get Nolte

confused with:

I swear to god, it never ends!
