10 Actors You Wrongly Think Are In Movies

5. Jennifer Lawrence - Cyrano

The World's End
Universal & Paramount

If you've ever been surprised by the unexpected presence of "Jennifer Lawrence" in a movie, there's a good chance that it's not in fact J-Law at all but rather her quasi-doppelganger, Haley Bennett.

A terrifically talented actress in her own right, Bennett has nevertheless suffered the "misfortune" of baring a strong resemblance to Lawrence, enough that many simply assume she is J-Law when she shows up in a film.

This issue reared its head most prominently last year when Bennett played the female lead in her partner Joe Wright's musical romance Cyrano.

Many of those unfamiliar with Bennett, who has veered away from major A-list roles throughout her career, just assumed they were looking at Lawrence in the sort of role that clearly courts awards consideration, and would therefore be firmly within the Oscar-winning actress' wheelhouse.

Though on closer inspection the pair certainly don't look or sound identical, if you're a more casual moviegoer it's easy to mix them up, as some evidently have.
