Who are some celebs who have a similar (but not the same) name to another famous person? This is going to make me sound like an idiot, but I used to get Alison Brie and Brie Larson mixed up, so when I heard that Brie Larson was playing Captain Marvel, my first thought was "The girl from Community? Interesting casting".

Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney.
Double the Dermott, double the fun.

So you were technically correct, the best kind of correct.

My friend always laughs at me because I always mix up the names Gene Hackman and Hugh Jackman for some reason.

There's literally 2 actresses named Peyton List. And they both are in the animated Batman: Hush movie. Peyton List voices Poison Ivy, who she played on Fox's Gotham TV series. Peyton R. List voices Batgirl. Dermott Mulroney guest starred as a rival to Dylan McDermott's character on the Fox show, LA to Vegas. Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman were actually friends for years, according to Pullman, they always wanted to do a project together to show they are two different people. To go classic stars, there's Ingrid Bergman, acclaimed Swedish actress, and Ingmar Bergman, influential Swedish director. And the two would work together in the film Autumn Sonata.

Danny Glover and Donald Glover. I thought somebody was mispronouncing Danny's name when I first heard about Donald.

I thought Donald Glover was Danny Glover's relative but the two aren't related whatsoever.

Try really hard not to get Bernard Mannings and Bernard Mathews mixed-up. It's a shame Jamie Oliver didn't, I'd have been all for him banning Bernard Manning. Might've had to endure slightly fewer tedious old racists trying to claim he was funny then.
I've got a couple that are pushing the boundaries of "celebrity". Fans of noughties Fat Wreck pop punk bands might be familiar with the work of Dave Hause, but confusingly there's also an English punk/hardcore musician of a similar vintage whose name is Dave House.
There are also presently two Oliver Robinsons on the fringes of the English national cricket team, and there were two Ryan Sidebottoms playing at the same time for a while too.

One for the identical list: Chris Evans, the American actor and all-round good guy, and Chris Evans, the British TV and radio presenter and all-round creep, whose ties to Jeffrey Epstein led to reactionary types trying to "cancel" the actor.

I imagine there is some people who must think Christopher Lloyd the actor, and Christopher Lloyd the producer of Frasier/creator of Modern Family are the same person

My mum nearly hit ginger Chris Evans with her car once in the nineties. He just walked out in front of her.
His ties to Epstein are a bit spurious I think, because lots of people knew Epstein, but the other allegations that came out about him were pretty grim.
