Even Isla Fisher’s
family mistakes her for Amy Adams!
Isla
revealed on Thursday’s “Today” show how she once played a playful
prank to poke fun at her striking resemblance to the five-time Oscar nominee,
but unfortunately the joke ended up being on her instead.
The Aussie
star explained that she and husband Sacha Baron Cohen decided to swap her face for
her fellow redhead’s on their family holiday card, expecting loved ones to
laugh right along with them.

“I cut and pasted Amy Adams’ face over mine, so it was Sacha, Amy and the kids,” Isla said on the morning show. “And then we said, ‘Seasons greetings from Sacha and Isla.'”
To Isla’s surprise, the punchline went right over everybody’s heads.

“No one noticed!” she said. “Everyone was like, ‘Oh, your card was so cute.’ I was like, ‘It was a joke. It’s not me, it’s Amy!'”
Isla and Amy’s “Nocturnal Animals” co-star Jake Gyllenhaal apparently has trouble telling the actresses apart, too. At a junket for the film earlier this month, he joked to Access Hollywood about his repeated on-set mix-up.
“I honestly didn’t know who I was working with scene to scene,” Jake said.
However, Amy told Access that there is one way to set the confusion straight once and for all.
“I can’t talk with an Australian accent,” she laughed.
