While appearing on the Late, Late, Show earlier this week, Harry Potter‘s Rupert Grint said he still gets mistaken for Ed Sheeran. “It’s kind of 50/50 now,” he told host James Corden. “It’s like [when] someone stops me, it could go either way. I could be Ed or I could be me.” Even other celebrities get the pair confused. “Leo Sayer [the singer], he came up to me and said he loved my music, of course thinking I was Ed,” Rupert recalled. “And I play along.”

Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester’s resemblance is so strong, it’s no wonder the pair were cast together in The Roommate. The 2011 horror flick involved Leighton’s copycat character becoming scarily obsessed with Minka’s character and even emulating her look.
