    Eh, it took me years to tell Claire Danes apart from Gwyneth Paltrow and I think there are a couple other actresses that I may also be thinking are Claire or Gwyneth. It isn’t “they don’t recognize different brown people” as much as there are many doppelgangers in the world.

      You need to get checked for prosopagnosia.

      Women can be difficult recognize if they share one or two similar features. I blame it on the makeup the wear. Danes and Paltrow are skilled in using makeup and can use it to alter their looks a lot.

      Jaime Pressly and Margot Robbie but I don’t think the people in the OP look alike.

      In the '80s it was Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds for me.

      What about Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastaine?

      However for white celebrities, it seems to be the exception. For celebrities of colour, it’s a common experience.

        I can’t speak to the gamut of white celebrities but I could pick Bryce Dallas Howard’s butt out of any lineup

          You shouldn’t pick butts. You’ll get a smelly finger.

      I still can’t tell Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard apart. I constantly misremember who is in what movie.

      I certainly can’t tell most of the Chrises apart.
