She’s often mistaken for fellow Hollywood redhead Jessica Chastain.
And Bryce Dallas Howard admitted she finds the comparison ‘flattering’ as she discussed the many similarities between herself and the Molly’s Game star during her appearance on Friday’s The Graham Norton Show.
The Jurassic World star, 37, detailed how she had been confused for Jessica, 41, long before their acting careers even took off and conceded that the pair ‘could be sisters’.

Of their striking similarities, Bryce – wearing a glamorous black bardot gown and colorful earrings – told host Graham: ‘It’s very flattering for me! It’s odd because it all started long before we were famous.
‘I went to NYU and she was at Julliard and there were many times – in the likes of Starbucks and other places – that people were certain we were one and the same person.’
Despite the long-running joke, the Black Mirror actress said their first run-ins with confused fans was a ‘little unnerving’ but did admit that she can see where people are coming from, adding ‘we could be sisters’.
It’s not the first time either A-List actress has discussed their uncanny resemblance, with Jessica taking to her Instagram account in May 2015 to set the record straight in a hilarious snap.

While hoping to straighten out any confusion, Jessica did confess to using Bryce’s name when first being recognised for her earlier work.
Speaking to Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon at the time, the Zero Dark Thirty star explained: ‘Right out of college, I was doing an off-Broadway play and I was like ‘I’m a working actress’ and then The Village had just come out – that was [Bryce’s] big break.
‘I was on the subway and these kids come over and said ‘I’m sorry but are you an actress?’ and I was ‘yes, I’m being recognised!’, and then they said ‘yes The Village was such a great movie’.

So chic: Bryce and hunky co-star Chris Pratt continued their promo tour on Friday of the latest film in the dinosaur franchise with a stop to BBC Radio 1 studios in London
‘Swamp Crotch’: Elsewhere on the show, Bryce also revealed that doing stunts in the jungle led to an embarrassing situation involving her trousers and a hairdryer
Deciding to take advantage of the awkward situation, Jessica added: ‘I had this moment of ‘do I tell them, or do I pretend to be Bryce’ and, like a normal person, I pretended I was Bryce.’
Elsewhere on the show, Bryce – flanked by her Jurassic World co-stars Chris Pratt and Jeff Goldblum – also revealed that doing stunts in the jungle led to an embarrassing situation involving her trousers and a hairdryer – which she referred to as a ‘swamp crotch’.
With much of the movie set in the humid climes of Hawaii, the mother-of-two confessed: ‘It was so hot that my trousers showed all the sweat so I used a hair dryer to get rid of the stain – it became so normal I would do it all the time and in front of anyone.’
