A few years ago, Hailee Steinfeld’s mom, Cheri Steinfeld, got mistaken for Jerry Seinfeld when making a restaurant reservation.

“Years ago. My mom’s name is Cheri. She called once to make a reservation at a restaurant for the family and left it under Cheri Steinfeld, she told New York Post.

“We showed up and there was no Jerry Seinfeld in the party, which is what I think they heard over the phone, so there was quite a letdown. Luckily, I don’t get that too often.”

Despite their similar names, Hailee Steinfeld is not related to Jerry Seinfeld.
