Jennifer Lawrence was surprised when The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart told her in November that she was strikingly similar to Helen Mirren.

He showed her a picture and said “That looks like you” but the 23-year-old Oscar-winning actress didn’t agree.

Now Mirren has been asked if she agrees with the talk show host.

“She’s much prettier than I was,” Mirren told Entertainment Tonight. “But there is a great similarity actually, it’s very true there’s a similarity. We got the little fat cheeks that I used to have.”

Mirren also said Lawrence was “going to be the most beautiful woman.”

Can you see a resemblance between the two Oscar winners?
