The Devil Wears Prada star Stanley Tucci, 65, insists he is not the English actor Mark Strong, 62, even if the world occasionally disagrees. Speaking at an event at 92NY in New York City, Tucci was asked by moderator Josh Horowitz which celebrity he is most often mistaken for, and his answer was definitive: “Mark Strong, always.” The actor said the two “get complimented on each other’s performances,” and added that he is genuinely “very flattered” by the ongoing case of mistaken identity, while also praising Strong’s acting and personality. “All attractive bald men do not look alike, folks,” Horowitz, 49, joked. Tucci is not alone in acknowledging the resemblance, as Strong also addressed the mix-up on BBC’s The One Show in 2025, recalling a moment when he was once asked to sign a poster for Tucci’s fan. “We met, actually, and I had to confess to him that somebody once asked me to sign a poster because they thought I was him,” Strong recalled. The Sherlock Holmes actor added that Tucci’s fan “wouldn’t take no for an answer,” so he went ahead and signed the poster as his doppelgänger.
