'Wait, They're Not The Same Person?' Actors Our Parents Can't Tell Apart (PHOTOS)

We love our parents. Not only are they sweet, and fun, and smart, but they make us feel smug when we get to explain to them that not all curly-haired actors under thirty are Michael Cera. The truth is we're starting to have a hard time telling the difference between under-age popstars, but we're comforted by the fact that we know the difference between Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen (most of the time).

I don't see how people would confuse them. Yet, there are some that look-a-like and they are not in this lineup.

I'm always confused Joshua Jackson and Toby Maquire. I don't know others much except Gery Busey and Nick Nolte. I don't know (recognize) those actresses at all.

I know my parents can tell "Ryan Reynolds & Ben Affleck" one is a decent actor while the other one his a better director.

As for the others, I have no idea if they can tell them apart.

My Husband can't tell Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan apart. He gets upset when he talks about a movie one of them has been in, and it was the other one. I look at him blankly and tell him I have no idea what he is talking about, and didn't realize what he was doing till I saw this slide show.

It's true, I can't tell Jesse Eisenberg from Micheal Cera. I lost a $10 bet that Cera was in Zombieland. When my friend opened up IMDB and proved it was Eisenberg I was like "Who?"

i think Toby McGuire and Topher Grace look the same. Also Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg

Spiderman is of course James McAvoy and Toby McGuire. Or either one with Elijah Wood or Shia LaBeouf. Or we can just combine them all into one cute blob of a small man.

Isn't Nick Nolte a republican? They don't age well do they?

Busey's the republican, nolte's had some booze problems, I think.

OMG! I thought I was the only one who saw the Affleck/Reynolds resemblance. Especially when Ben's in shape.

[Kate Hammons]

Jessica Hecht (Susan on Friends) and Anne Dudek.

Busey and Nolte victums of hard living. SMDH

Ummm HP are you blind, Seth Rogen doesn't look a thing like Jonah Hill, or did you peg them because they're husky?

P.S. That Ewan McGregor/Joshua Jackson comparison nearly made me vomit! The Scottish one is handsome and the other is NOT.

[Ken Freedom]

08:28 PM on 10/11/2010

I dunno, I wouldn't have agreed if someone just said they looked alike, but side by side they do look very similar.

Though McGregor can act circles around Jackson, and I say that as someone who actually likes Jackson (he's great on Fringe).

Also, random fact: I have seen Ewan McGregor's penis more often than any other other penis (excluding my own). That guy really like to let it all hang out in movies.
