Radcliffe explained the reason he often gets mistaken as the famous hobbit Elijah Wood in an interview with Marc Maron. He said that the reason people often confuse him and Wood is that they are both short guys with big blue eyes and brown hair. And also because they both played in fantasy movies that released at the same time.
“If you come up and say, ‘Are you Elijah Wood?’ I’ll say no, and I won’t tell you who I am,” Radcliffe said.

She’s not even nominated for anything. What’s she doing here?"

Another case of the press completely messed up. Teen Vogue once misidentified Kunis as Hyland in a red carpet gallery. Luckily, both Hyland and Kunis are pretty chill with this. They got mistaken for each other so much that they even joked that they pretended to be each other in public sometimes.
"She came up to me and said she gets called me all the time too," Hyland said. "She said that sometimes she pretends she's me because it makes her feel young. I asked if I could pretend to be her next time somebody asks me if I'm her, and she said OK."
