You guys are lucky 90% of celebrities are known as "what's her face" or "that one guy" in my household

My dad called Hugh Jackman “Jack Human” and now it’s an inside joke between us

[katrahmat]

My Dad once asked me, "Why is Sydney Beaver always in Sci Fi movies?" Yup. He meant Sigourney Weaver.

My mom confused Al Pacino and Al Capone once, and she said Al Cappuccino.

My grandma once asked my mum: who’s that man who’s always in films with that woman with the hair 😂 and somehow my mum understood she meant Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan ???

my mom calls SpongeBob SquarePants the "quesito" which is the little cheese hahaha

[lillypad]

My mom called Florence and the Machine "Emily and the Mechanics"

I need that translator. It took me an afternoon to understand that Jeffrey Rodgers is Jeff Bridges. My proudest moment? When I figured out in a couple of minutes that Kevin Eagle is Ethan Hawke.

"william bruce" -my dad referring to Bruce Willis 😂

My Mom's favorite film director is Nicolas Sarkozy (Martin Scorsese) and her favorite film is “It doesn’t get any better” (“As good as it gets”). Sometimes she says "It will never get better!" She is still figuring out the difference between Gloria Estefan and Gweenie Ste'fano (Gwen Stefanie). She pronounces it with an emphasis on "E, " St"E"fano, with an Italian accent. And the show goes on. Oh wait wait …. Her favorite 80s band is “Spandex Ballet” (Spandau Ballet)

Joe Geronimo of Breakdance Fountain. Loved him in that film!

It's nice that they showed the kids politely engaging with their moms instead of being annoyed.

[Anfubvinch]

This is a great comments section. i love hearing people's stories about their moms misremembering the shit out of every name

[jamespicklehead]

My mom was tiring to remember a basketball player's name. And she said, you know, the tall black one.
