celebs have been mistaken by fans, which can lead to some pretty hilarious moments. Some stars are pretty cool with the whole look-a-like thing, while others feel annoyed when misidentified. These Celebrities Get Mistaken Regularly.

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.

Amy Adams and Isla Fisher often play around with their similarities. Fisher once made a joke PSA to remind people that she's not Adams. When the famous Lady Gaga mistook her for Amy Adams, Fisher just went with it. She even pointed at Amy, who was walking into the party, and said "There’s Isla Fisher. She’s not even nominated for anything. What’s she doing here?"
3. Zooey Deschanel And Katy Perry

On the other hand, Zooey Deschanel wasn’t so thrilled with her celebrity doppelganger comparisons. The actress told New York magazine that she kinda felt annoyed when she had to answer more questions about
Katy Perry than about her own family.
By 2011, Deschanel seemed to soften her attitude about their lookalike situation. The actress even jokingly suggested on her Instagram that they should dress up as the twins from The Shining for Halloween.

Morgan knows how easily he can be mistaken for Bardem, and he made the best of those comparisons to prank Bardem a few years ago. This happened back when Javier Bardem won his Oscar and Morgan also happened to be in New York. The press got really confused. The paparazzi came at Morgan screaming Javier’s name, and Morgan flipped off the cameras. This later landed Bardem in hot water when tabloids ran the picture with Bardem's name instead of Morgan's.

Knightley shared on The Graham Norton Show that people mistake her for Portman all the time. She was even chased through airports while people were screaming Natalie’s name!

Natalie!' And I'll sign and take a picture as Natalie."

Their striking blue eyes and sculpted face really make many people think Kevin Zegers is the Canadian version of Zac Efron. Zegers himself admitted this, even saying their similarity was “both complimentary and completely unsettling.” He suggested busting out the Siamese Twins screenplay.

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."
