"Olivia Wilde recently revealed that she was mistaken for House of Cards actress Kate Mara by a confused autograph hunter in New York.  The Tron actress was extremely flattered and immediately took to Twitter to alert Mara of the mix-up, posting: &amp;quot;Hey @_KateMara - I just got recognized as you.&amp;quot;  Mara was equally pleased, replying: &amp;quot;Hey @oliviawilde That makes me WILDEly happy. I&amp;#039;d like to be recognized as you.. any day. Food baby and all.&amp;quot; But this isn&amp;#039;t the first time that two Hollywood stars have been mistaken for each other despite a lack of glaring similarities. From Lindsay Lohan and Debbie Harry to Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg - we pair up the similar and not-so-similar, the flattered and the downright-offended stars who&amp;#039;ve been mistaken for other stars below:  1. Andy Samberg &amp;amp; Andrew Garfield  Andy Samberg recently revealed how he and his wife were given five-star treatment during a layover in Dubai after local airport officials mistook the Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor for Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield. He told The Sun: &amp;quot;We got off the plane and in Dubai... there was a team waiting for us, &amp;#039;Oh, Mr Andrew, Mr Andrew!&amp;#039;... and we were like, &amp;#039;Oh, this is so nice, our travel agent must have really hooked it up&amp;#039;. And they were like, &amp;#039;Everyone wants to take a picture with you guys&amp;#039;. I was like, &amp;#039;OK, they know who we are in Dubai...!&amp;#039; &amp;quot;We were getting the royal treatment and I was like, &amp;#039;Man, they must have YouTube out here [to watch his shows] because we&amp;#039;re really getting it done up&amp;#039;. Then right before we left the airport... the woman who had greeted us there... said, &amp;#039;So, are you going to make any new Spider-Man films soon?&amp;#039; And I was like, &amp;#039;Oh, she thinks I&amp;#039;m Andrew Garfield because my name&amp;#039;s Andrew...&amp;#039;&amp;quot; So he smiled and replied: &amp;quot;Yes. You know, they&amp;#039;re a lot of work, but we do it for the fans.&amp;quot; 2. Matt Damon &amp;amp; Mark Wahlberg  Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg get mistaken for each other so much that the pair have now formed a pact to play along if they get approached by people getting them mixed up. Speaking on The Graham Norton Show earlier this year, the bemused Monuments Men actor explained: &amp;quot;I get confused with him [Wahlberg] all the time. We talked about it years ago because it kept happening. &amp;quot;We have a deal. And the deal is, if you&amp;#039;re mistaken for the other guy you have to be extremely polite. I can&amp;#039;t ruin his name, so when I&amp;#039;m Mark Wahlberg I have to be on my best behaviour!&amp;quot; 3. Samuel L Jackson &amp;amp; Laurence Fishburne  Samuel L Jackson was quick to put entertainment anchor Sam Rubin firmly in his place (and quite rightly so) when the newsreader confused him with Laurence Fishburne during a live interview on KTLA 5.  Rubin congratulated the actor on his &amp;quot;Super Bowl commercial&amp;quot;, referring to an ad that in fact starred Fishburne. Jackson quipped: &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t all look alike! I&amp;#039;m the &amp;#039;What&amp;#039;s in your wallet?&amp;#039; black guy. He&amp;#039;s the car black guy. Morgan Freeman is the other credit card black guy.&amp;quot; The RoboCop star then arrived for a round of Captain America: The Winter Soldier press interviews wearing a T-shirt stating &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not Laurence Fishburne&amp;quot;, and we were all blown away by the brilliance of it. 4. Jackie Stallone &amp;amp; THIS woman...  Ivone Weldon was mistaken by the world over (well, a few photo agencies at least) for Jackie Stallone when she attended Sylvester Stallone&amp;#039;s Expendables 2 premiere in Los Angeles.  When Jackie caught wind of the confusion, she didn&amp;#039;t exactly hold back with her reaction and was quoted to have blurted: &amp;quot;What an ugly woman.  &amp;quot;Fat arms. Trout pout. Horse face. I thought a face like that went out with the Ice Age. And those bandy legs! If I had a kid with those legs, I would break them and have them put in braces. &amp;quot;If I had a face like that I wouldn&amp;#039;t leave the house - or at least not without a paper bag over my head. In fact, if I had a face like that I&amp;#039;d probably shoot myself.  &amp;quot;To be honest, in the end - after I got over the shock - I found it funny. I haven&amp;#039;t had a lot to laugh about recently.&amp;quot; Cripes. 5. Katy Perry &amp;amp; Zooey Deschanel  Don&amp;#039;t ever approach Zooey Deschanel with the opening gambit that she looks just like that Katy Perry. The New Girl actress has admitted that she finds it &amp;quot;annoying&amp;quot; when people make the comparison. Speaking to MTV back in 2009, the star complained: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a little bit annoying, to be blunt.  &amp;quot;The only similarity that we have is that we look a little bit alike. I have met her before. She seems like a nice person. I&amp;#039;m happy that she&amp;#039;s famous enough now that she&amp;#039;s not going out and being mistaken for me.&amp;quot; How very thoughtful of you, Zooey... 6. Lindsay Lohan &amp;amp; Debbie Harry  We have to admit some bafflement when it was reported that Blondie&amp;#039;s Debbie Harry got confused for a then-blonde Lindsay Lohan by fans and photographers while out and about in New York. The pair were staying at the same hotel but that&amp;#039;s where the similarity (in our view at least) definitely ends.  7. Ralph Fiennes &amp;amp; Liam Neeson  Liam Neeson revealed that he was once approached by a seemingly ardent fan who asked for his autograph, before gushing: &amp;quot;You were great in The English Patient.&amp;quot; At which point Neeson admitted that he signed it: &amp;quot;With Love, Ralph Fiennes.&amp;quot; 8. Will Ferrell &amp;amp; Red Hot Chili Peppers&amp;#039; Chad Smith  Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith revealed that he often gets mistaken for Will Ferrell. The musician told Rolling Stone magazine: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s weird to look like someone so much that people aren&amp;#039;t even asking if you&amp;#039;re the guy [Ferrell]. They just come up saying, &amp;#039;I loved you in that movie&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; We have to admit, we can kind of see it... But the stars are hoping to stop the confusion - albeit temporarily - by being in the same room at the same time when they compete in a &amp;quot;drum battle&amp;quot; together at a future charity event.  9. Tom Fletcher &amp;amp; Tom Felton  Harry Potter actor Tom Felton admitted on Twitter that an over-zealous fan came up to him and enthused about how much she loved his work. Especially that wedding video... which is when it dawned on the star that he was being mistaken for McFly&amp;#039;s Tom Fletcher. Felton tweeted: &amp;quot;So just had a rather amusing experience. Girl came up to me in LA and asked for a picture.I ofcourse (sic) said yes! She went on to tell how she was such a big fan of my work, loved everything I&amp;#039;d done and even said she loved my music!  &amp;quot;She then mid picture told me how my wedding video was the best thing she&amp;#039;d ever seen.....then it hit me,she thinks I&amp;#039;m @tommcfly... I shamefully accepted the praise.I&amp;#039;d gone too far to turn back! couldn&amp;#039;t tell her that she&amp;#039;s got the #WrongTom so I just smiled to myself.&amp;quot; 10. Piers Morgan &amp;amp; Colin Firth  Piers Morgan claims he often gets mistaken for Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth. The TV host has informed Firth of the mix-up, conceding: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m more flattered than you are, obviously.&amp;quot; 11. Daniel Radcliffe &amp;amp; Elijah Wood   Daniel Radcliffe recalled how he was mistaken for Elijah Wood while he was promoting a movie in Japan. The Kill Your Darlings actor explained: &amp;quot;I was in Japan and someone held out a photo of him [Wood] for me to sign. I couldn&amp;#039;t say it in Japanese, so I wrote, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m not Elijah Wood but thanks anyway, Daniel Radcliffe&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;If I was a bit more puerile I would have written, &amp;#039;The Lord of the Rings is rubbish&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; 12. Glenn Close &amp;amp; Meryl Streep   Glenn Close told the Daily Record that she often gets mistaken for Meryl Streep, but couldn&amp;#039;t be more flattered by the mix-up. The Damages star told the publication: &amp;quot;I was just in Paris at the Armani show and this woman came up with all her crew and said, &amp;#039;You must know all about haute couture now?&amp;#039; &amp;quot;I said, &amp;#039;Really, why?&amp;#039; and she said, &amp;#039;Because of The Devil Wears Prada&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; D&amp;#039;oh. 13. Vidya Balan &amp;amp; Kim Kardashian  Bollywood actress Vidya Balan told the Mumbai Mirror how she was confused with Kim Kardashian during a night out at a gay club in Melbourne. The Hindi film star was reportedly approached by a club reveller who said: &amp;quot;I am gay, but you are really hot. By any chance, are you Kim Kardashian?&amp;quot; Balan added: &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t know what to say, so I just smiled.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
