For years I thought Mickey Rooney (1920-2014) and Mickey Rourke (1952-present) were the same guy. I’d see Mickey Rooney in a movie and be like “Wow, he’s looking pretty good for his age,” thinking he was a man 32 years his senior and/or dead.
I finally twigged when I eventually saw Iron Man 2(2009) and was like “How is he doing this?!” and actually looked him up.
When I was a kid I had hard time distinguishing between actor and role. So Kevin from Home Alone had to be that Kevin Costner the actor, right? Right!?
Then Home Alone would have been 3 hours with an epic speech about why this is the final stroke and why he will stand against the burglars beside some hobos from the woods.

For me it was Mickey Rooney and Andy Rooney.
