Kid Mistakes Grime MC For Anthony Joshua And Picture Goes Viral

Kid Mistakes Grime MC For Anthony Joshua And Picture Goes Viral

Awkward.

There have only been a handful of times where I've seen a celebrity in public - but every time I've opted not to get a picture.

I figure they get it all the time and would rather leave them to their shopping or catching a flight. But young, ballsy Adam decided he was going to get a snap with a famous face.

He spotted what he thought was world champion boxer Anthony Joshua in a department store. Unfortunately for him it wasn't the 27-year-old star - it was Manchester grime MC Bugzy Malone. Even worse for Adam, was that his post went viral and found its way to Bugzy.

Bugzy isn't the first celeb to be mistaken for someone else, however, it happens a lot more than you think.

Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling apparently get confused enough for the La La Land actor to mention the likeness at the Golden Globes.

As he accepted the award for the Best Actor in a Musical he said: "This isn't the first time I've been mistaken for Ryan Reynolds, but it's getting out of hand. Ryan, obviously there's been some kind of mistake, but I'm up here if you don't mind."

Darren Criss, one of the leading characters in the musical TV series Glee was once approached by an excited fan asking if he was Kit Harrington from Game of Thrones.

One that might be a little less surprising is Harry Potter star Rupert Grint being mixed up with chat topper Ed Sheeran.

The actor told BBC's Match of the Day: "People think I'm Ed Sheeran. They compliment me on my music career and I just play along with it. It's never too bad, you get the odd person staring at you but it's pretty manageable."

Kiera Knightly nabbed a film role when she was just 12-years-old as Natalie Portman's decoy in Star Wars Episode I.

She went on to tell The Graham Norton Show that people keep thinking she is Natalie Portman.

She told the crowd: "I get chased through airports. I feel quite sorry for her because she must get chased a lot because it's happened like five times where someone's been like, 'Natalie, Natalie, Natalie', and I'll sign and take a picture as Natalie."

One of the best cases of mistaken identity was actor Will Ferrell and Red Hot Chilli Peppers drummer Chad Smith. The pair appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and they genuinely looked like twins.

But, while it could be mildly upsetting to get confused with another celebrity, it must be a bit soul destroying if no one knows who you are.

NBC wanted to see how many people knew who Chris Pratt is, especially considering he's one of the biggest actors at the moment with Guardians of the Galaxy .

Maybe you should double check the celebrity is who you think they are before you ask for a photo.
