Kate Beckinsale stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on Sunday night and revealed that she couldn’t be in the same room as Ryan Reynolds as they looked like twins.

She joked about mistaking herself for Reynolds when seeing posters, highlighting the uncanny similarity she perceives.

“I look exactly like Ryan Reynolds,” the 46-year-old told Fallon. “Like in a shocking way. Like sometimes I see a bus going by with a poster on and I think, ‘Damn, I look hot… wait, it’s not me.’ Also, I’ve never done that movie.”

Fallon showcased a side-by-side photo of Beckinsale and Reynolds to gauge the audience’s opinion, to which he admitted he didn’t quite see the resemblance.

“I don’t really see it,” he admitted. Beckinsale elaborated on her view, contrasting Reynolds’ masculine, Canadian persona with her own image yet maintaining her belief in their likeness.

“I’ve wrestled with how, obviously, he’s not even like a sort of slightly-girly-boy-bander type,” Kate explained. “He’s like a big Canadian man and I really see myself in him.”

“I can’t be in the same room as him,” she explained. “Because one of us, I think, would explode, or something would happen. But I have had boyfriends in the same room with him while I was not there and they felt really compromised, like way too intimate. Like they were attracted to Ryan…they just feel like they know things about him, about his undercarriage, that they shouldn’t.”

Kate Beckinsale’s Chic Style at Memorial Day Party

In May 2012, the English actress looked white-hot, leaving a Memorial Day party in a chic all-white jumpsuit, colorful Pierre Hardy wedge sandals, and a multicolored necklace.

While her entire outfit was stunning, the real eye-catcher was her choice of shoes. Kate’s bright multi-color wedges added the perfect pop of color to her otherwise all-white outfit.

We have to admit, we think Kate really hit the nail on the head with this look.

Since it wasn’t a publicized red carpet event, it’s possible that she chose these shoes for herself without the help of a stylist — which is impressive!
