Ryan Reynolds Says He Gets Mistaken For Ben Affleck But I Don't See It

I consider myself a bit of an expert when it comes to celebrity lookalikes. I love finding which celebrities are basically twins (Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, anyone?) and which celebrities have a more subtle match (like Henry Cavill and Matt Bomer).

So when I saw who Ryan Reynolds said he gets mistaken for at his local pizza place, I just didn't buy it.

It's hard to imagine Ryan Reynolds being mistaken for ANYONE else.

Not only is he one of the most handsome men in Hollywood (in MY humble opinion), but he's also got such a distinctive voice and way he carries himself.

Apparently, however, a pizza place he frequents has been mistaking him for another Hollywood hunk for years.

In a recent podcast interview, Ryan explained the mixup.

"There's a pizza place in the East Village in New York that I've been going to for years," he told Hank and John Green on their podcast.

"They believe I'm Ben Affleck and I've never corrected them."

That's right. They think he looks like Ben Affleck.

Of course, Ryan isn't using this to get anything for free. "I don't accept anything ― like they're not giving me free pizza based on this factor," Ryan said.

"I do everything normal, just like everyone else. They just think I'm Ben Affleck," he added.

"They'll ask how J. Lo is, 'great, good', get my pizza and off I'll go," Ryan said.

What do you think? Do these two stars have a hidden similarity, or do you think the people at that pizza place need to get their glasses checked? Let us know in the comments!
