Twitter users started sharing photos of the two this week, causing an internet frenzy as more and more people discovered that the ladies are actually not the same person:

“I kept getting Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly confused,” one wrote. “When I saw, ‘I, Tonya’ I was like ‘wow, the lady from ‘My Name is Earl’ has got range.'”

While Robbie and Pressly may look alike and are both actresses, the women lead very different lives. Forty-year-old, North Carolina born Pressly is now a mom-of-three after welcoming twins in October. Meanwhile, Robbie is just 27 and has yet to have any children. While you may recognize the former from “My Name is Earl,” the latter made a big splash recently with her film “I, Tonya.”
Back in 2016, Pressly actually addressed their similarity by joking that Robbie looks like her, not the other way around. When asked if she had ever noticed that Robbie is her doppelgänger, she shot back, “Right, right, well that would be she looks like me!”
The lookalike pair finally met each other at the premiere of “I, Tonya,” and fans couldn’t get enough of their reaction to one another.
