Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

you make me feel like a lonely boy again naturally

I get Andrew Gold mixed up with John Stewart, for the stupidest, most obvious reason.

But funny enough, never John Stewart and Jon Stewart!

jared leto and jaron lanier

If I think about it for more than five seconds, I can figure it out, but I still get James Franco and Jared Leto confused.

Bradley Walsh
Brian Conley

Conley married Anne-Marie on 4 August 1996, in a ceremony at a Stoke Poges chapel, Buckinghamshire.[6] Conley had proposed eight months earlier, while wearing a suit of armour.[6] The wedding day itself also had comic elements, causing celebrity guest Linda Lusardi to remark that it was "the funniest wedding I've been to" — Conley made several memorable quips during the event, and the couple left the church in the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car.[6] The couple have two daughters.

― Paul in Santa Cruz, Monday, January 14, 2008

You can add Deer Tick to the list now. (Deerhunter is the one I know and like, but I still have to pause for a couple of seconds to remind myself which one they are; have never heard the other two.)

Jem Finer and Jem Cohen

I was at a math workshop today, and one of the presenters looked uncannily like Jonah Hill--a few pounds lighter, hair a little shorter, otherwise a physical lookalike, and his voice and mannerisms were dead-on. Everyone at my table was in complete agreement. When we called him over to look at something related to the workshop, I had to ask if anyone had ever told him he looked like a famous actor. I expected him to groan and say, "Yeah, I know, Jonah Hill." He said yes, but not Hill: "I get Richard Gere sometimes." It wasn't meant as a joke--he was absolutely serious.

Jonah Hill and Richard Gere: I always get those two mixed up.

Just realised after a comment by the latter about The Presidents Club dinner that I have been conflating Harvey Weinstein and Harvey Goldsmith.

I keep thinking Sarah Greene is the racist alcoholic 80s TV presenter instead of Sarah Kennedy.

just realised that 2017 sex-scandal tory David Meller is not the same person as early-90s sex-scandal tory David Mellor

sorry, *2018* sex-scandal tory David Meller

Jean Renoir and Jean Vigo. Every time I see the name Jean Renoir I think it's the guy who made L'Atalante

Mark Ronson
Mick Ralphs

I don't get the people confused, but whenever I hear "Mark Ronson" it takes a few seconds to switch from "Mick Ronson?" to "Oh, that guy I keep hearing the name of."
