[Salma Hayek and Cote De Pablo]

What the fuck are you running on about?

Probably some SJW got on OP's case about those poor (multi-millionnaire, international movie star, standard of beauty) POCs and how not being able to tell them apart makes you an EVOL RACIST!

Personally I can't tell them apart even with the two pictures next to each other, they're just so standard cookie-cutter Hollywood pretty... (also, they have similar chin/jawlines, hair and eye color and you really can't tell anything about skin tone with the amount of make-up they're wearing and the lighting in the photos).

Never mind that they do actually look quite a lot alike. And some people actually don't recognize faces very well.

Lol please, there is nothing standard or cookie cutter about Salma.

until recently i thought Mila Kunis and the daughter in Modern Family were the same person

1. Heeeeee this secret is adorable.
2. Yes, they are both POC.
3. Don't feel bad about thinking they were the same person, anon. They look REALLY similar beyond the fact that they are both Hispanic women, to the point that when Cote de Pablo tested for NCIS with Michael Weatherly, he improvised something like, "You're really pretty, you look just like Salma Hayek." Also, my mom once made the same comment, and she's Hispanic. Clearly, they need to play sisters in a movie just so my brain can explode from the hotness.

For the longest time, I thought Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts were the same person.

No worries anon. It's pretty easy to get celebs mixed up like that.

Well, they do look alike. And I've always maintained that if they made a Deep Six movie, Salma Hayek would totally play "Lisa"

Four thumbs up to this comment!

Another person saying not to feel bad about this. They look REALLY similar for reasons that go well beyond both being POC.

If it makes you feel any better, I used to get Beyonce and Shakira mixed up.

Was it majorly confusing for you when they did that song together a while back? ;)

If you had asked me if these two looked alike before this secret, I would've said no. But in these picture...ah, wow. Had no idea.

You have flawless taste, at any rate.

Saying that all POC look the same is racist.

Saying that two POC in particular look the same is not. Sometimes people look similar to each other.

Yes, they have a similar head structure and in those pictures similar make-up, but normally I wouldn't say they look the same.

The rest of the secret seems like you're trying, but in case you're serious: People who jump on you for saying these two specific people look a like and wondering whether they are POC are being assholes or having a bad day. They do look alike here, and they are POC.

Does this happen with other people, OP?
You might want to read more about it, it happens to more people than you'd think:

Oh wow, and here I just thought I had a bad memory. I am seriously crap at telling people apart/remembering them facial wise. I can recognize almost everyone over the phone by voice, but I am absolute shit with putting names to faces. :/

Eh, I sometimes get Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayak confused. And I thought Kate Beckinsale and Catherine Zeta-Jones were the same person for ages.

You are not the first one to think so, anon.

I'd have thought the above photos were of the same person if the name tags weren't there.

that's coo', I can't tell white people apart in movies most times if they don't have different haircuts/colours.

...Did you miss the 'Thinking all people of look the same = racist' comment?

For the longest time I thought Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire were the same person. *shrugs* It happens.

they DO look pretty fucking similar, now that you mention it. Holy balls.
