Kate Winslet reveals she 'gets mistaken' for fellow Hollywood actress 'all the time'

The Titanic star claims she has a celebrity doppelgänger

In the celebrity world, there are a handful of stars that are often confused with other big-name personalities.

Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain often has to remind her fans that she's NOT fellow red-haired Jurassic World star Bryce Dallas Howard.

British movie star Thandie Newton once confessed on The Graham Norton Show that Victoria Beckham once mistook her for Zoe Saldana.

And don't even get me started on the conspiracy theory that claims actor Zooey Deschannel and singer Katy Perry are secretly the same person...

Anyway, while one might think that having a big-name lookalike would be something rather tedious - especially if you're an A-lister in your own right yourself - Titanic star Kate Winslet is over the moon with hers.

Apparently, the 48-year-old is regularly mistaken for fellow silver screen star, Cate Blanchett, with whom she also recently sat side-by-side with on Graham Norton's couch.

Personally, I don't see it. Maybe it's the blonde hair, or their magnetic, multi award-winning acting performances. Who knows?

Anyway, Kate recently addressed movie fans' confusion over the topic, admitting she absolutely takes the comparison as a compliment.

The pair reportedly get mixed up with one another constantly.

Speaking to Access Hollywood, she candidly joked: "It happens a lot, yeah. I say, 'Oh, thank you so much', and they say, 'Loved you in Elizabeth', and I say, 'Thank you, that's so kind'."

Kate went on: "And she [Cate] gets the same thing. People will say, 'I loved you in Sense and Sensibility' or 'I loved you in Titanic'. So, yeah, it happens.

"To be mistaken for Cate Blanchett is a huge compliment! So, no. I'll take it, I'll take it."

And on the topic of Cate's comparisons, another famous face revealed that they have also been mistaken for the star.

And even more surprising, is that they, are in fact, a he...

We are, of course, talking about Harry Potter and About Time star, Domhnall Gleeson.

Appearing on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert back in 2022, he revealed he's been told he looks like the Ocean's 8 beauty since he was a teenager.

He explained: "When I was 19, I did my first job. I did a Martin McDonagh play. People used to call me Cate all the time.

"My whole cast called me Cate because I looked really like Cate Blanchett when I was 19 years old."

"It was really intense!" Domhnall added. "I would walk down the street and people would stop me. Strangers would stop me and say, 'Do you know…' and I would say, 'Yes, I know! I know! I look like Cate Blanchett!'

"And they would say, 'I'm very sorry' and leave."
