When two celebrities’ names are similar to each other, it’s easy for fans to make the simple mistake of mixing them up every now and then. For actor Adam Devine, he’s often mistaken for crooner Adam Levine. In an interview on “A Little Late with Lilly Singh,” the comedian admitted that people always confuse him with the Maroon 5 frontman. “That’s my entire life,” he said. He explained that when he does a stand-up show, he hears comments like: “‘Oh, he looks horrible. Did he gain 60 pounds and lose 11 inches? Adam Levine does not look proper.'”
So, when the cheating allegations against Levine came out, Devine got some hate from fans. He explained on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that news organizations started to mix up his name with the singer’s moniker, thus prompting the angry onslaught of messages from fans. “I was getting, legitimately, hundreds of DMs,” he said. The “Pitch Perfect” actor also took to Instagram to clear up the confusion.

Devine isn’t the only celebrity whose name is confused with other famous stars. On the “Late Late Show” with James Corden, “Riverdale” star Camila Mendes explained how she’s gotten some strange fan reactions on Twitter from her name. “There’s a singer called Camila Cabello and a singer called Shawn Mendes,” she said. “People seem to think my Twitter is a fan account for that relationship.”
