Katy Perry Looks Like Zooey Deschanel
I’m astounded at how much these two broads look alike. In case you don’t know who they are, Katy Perry is this girl. She is a 23 year old pop singer with the current top 40 hit entitled “I Kissed a Girl”. Zooey Deschanel is this girl. She is a 28 year old actress who was in Elf and, most recently, The Happening.
STOP! DO NOT go look up pictures of them. Stick with the images contained in the links above, because otherwise you might come across the pictures in my post and ruin the whole game. And don’t click “see all photos” on Zooey’s IMDB page. Just use the pictures on the front page for reference.
We’re going to play a little game called “Katy or Zooey?” This may seem like a pretty dumb “Perez-Hilton”-esque post, but I am just taken aback by how much they physically resemble each other. You will be too.
Here’s how to play. Study the pair of pictures and determine which one is Katy and which one is Zooey. If you are struggling, just remember the clues you know thus far:
- One’s an actress and one’s a musician
- One’s 4 1/2 years older than the other one
I don’t know how those will help you at all. The Answer key is in the comments so you don’t accidentally scroll down and see them in the post.
The first three are warm-ups to get the blood pumping to your fusiform gyrus. Difficulty level increases at number 4.

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
OK, got your answers? Are you sure? I have more than likely tricked you at least once. Did I alternate who is first on each pair? Did I make them all the same order? Did I put two pictures of the same girl together? Is this really all just one person? See the comments for the real answers.

If you got them all right, you spend too much time looking up hot chicks on the Internet and should probably take it easy for a while. I say that because I’m a sore loser and I want my game to be difficult.

Sorry, Brian. I was 8/8. I guess I “spend too much time looking up hot chicks on the Internet”. I’ll take it easy for a while.
#2, 4 and 5 were the most difficult, methinks.

I was expecting a post about either how bad the song is or how overplayed it is. And for that, I score 0/8.
July 7th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I decided it was best not to get into the Katy Perry song. I wouldn’t have even brought it up except for the fact that it’s really the only way you would know who I was talking about.
Katy’s not gay. Girls can kiss girls and not be gay. Guys cannot kiss guys and not be gay. The same way that a 15 year old boy who loses his virginity is a “player” while a 15 year old girl who loses it is a “slut”.
I understand that girls and guys are completely different animals, but that still does not excuse this type of thinking that is infiltrating society and teaching kids sexual promiscuity at a young age. Future blog post.

Looking forward to the post.

well for the record they are both musicians…zooey is a part of the duo she and him…and uh…the so-called quiz was pretty easy…because katy dresses sluttier than zooey…they were both recently on FNMTV at the same time and I thought they were the same person…
July 18th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Shoot. I failed to realize the slut factor. Next time I’ll have to do busts instead of full body shots to further increase difficulty. If any two people ever resemble each other this freakishly again, that is.

OMG! I cant believe how much they look alike… When I actually saw the ‘I kissed a girl’ video I though that it was Zooey and I was telling everyone that it was the actor from ‘The Happening’… I got everyone of the pics right, Zooey has smaller boobs that Katy… and she dresses differently…
I wonder if they know that they look the same lol… 
Its pretty wierd… But they say that everyone has a twin…

So I’m not the only person who noticed this: Zooey Deschanel Pictures
July 24th, 2008 at 11:43 am
The one on the right in #5 is Taryn Manning, not either one of them…but she looks a lot like them too, in that picture at least!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
I was wondering when someone was going to point that out. I took for granted that all of these images were labeled correctly in Google Images. But this proves that I’m not the only one mixing people up!

Since i first saw Katy I’ve thought that she looks like combo of Zooey Deschanel AND Emily Blunt.
Especially in this pic… (if you can see it):
here’s the link to it just in case. http://media.prefixmag.com/site_media/uploads/images/artists/k/katy-perry/500×333_katy-perry-2.jpg
Here is Emily Blunt:

In the last picture, katy’s wearing a neckklace that says Katy
that might be a giveaway.
August 1st, 2008 at 11:18 pm
8/8, wooh. But only because of how they dress and their boobs.
oh, btw, zooey’s a singer too. a better one, actually.
August 3rd, 2008 at 6:03 pm
i was able to tell them apart for all of them, but mostly cause i recognized the zooey pictures from magazines and such.
katy perry = singer of a ridiculously annoying song
zooey deschanel = awesome
they also have a kooky sense of style.
this is almost like how when jewel and renee zellweger got famous around the same time and people would confuse them. then renee got mad skinny and more famous so it became less difficult.
or how chad smith (the drummer for red hot chili peppers) and will ferrell look exactly alike, but now chad’s bald, so it’s not hard to tell them apart.
August 4th, 2008 at 2:51 am
Yep!!!!! I knew Zooey from a lot of her movies… Then i saw Katy perry.. and just though to myself.. it was weird that she had changed her name.. But still.. She was different.. So i looked up.. And my jaw dropped!! LOL!!!!
I can’t believe it.. It’s freaky!! They do not look like twins.. But like.. THE SAME PERSON!!!!
PS; Zooey’s eyes are bright blue! Katy’s are a lil bit darker.. and that’s about it! Zooey Deschanel has been cloned!
August 4th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Whoops, didn’t see the necklace. Yet another giveaway.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:49 am
I GOT A PERFECT 8/8 mostly because yes, I spend way too much time looking up hot girls on the net hahaha. But yeah, the resemblance between these two girls is AH-MAZING. I always thought they looked alike too! It’s so funny and cool to find more people who noticed this too.
OH AND to Nicole: OMG I knowwwww I totally thought Katy Perry, Zooey Deschanel AND EMILY BLUNT are the look-alike combo. They are 3 absolutely stunningly beautiful and talented women. I’m in love.
August 7th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
I was only almost fooled at #4.
August 10th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
It’s the eyes. wider shots it’s not so obvious, but where you can see their eyes they look like twins- I even landed on this page because I googled them to see if they were related. The second I went on KP’s website I thought “that’s the bird from Hitch Hikers”.
August 11th, 2008 at 12:37 am
8/8… I was on a music website and I saw the picture of Katy Perry on #4 and was like \Who the hell is Katy? Your name is Zooey…\ I ended up here after I googled them. While I’ve seen Zooey enough times to know the difference, if I hadn’t seen the #4 picture in that article, I would have been stumped.
August 17th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Hmm sadly, i spend too much time on katys website..haha
but i saw zooeys video after katys on mtv and they look EXACTLY alike. I thought they were the same person! But you got me fooled twice. =P
August 18th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Lizzy Caplan
Zooey Deschanel
Emily Blunt

I want these 4 gathered to play quadruplets in a movie!
They are simply gorgeous.
August 21st, 2008 at 3:02 am
I got a perfect score! I know who’s who. I have many pics of Zooey Deschanel and I don’t get confused guessing who’s Zooey or Katy.^_^
August 27th, 2008 at 3:34 am
yes, i’ve ALWAYS thought they looked alike!
when i had saw katy perry in the gym class heroes music video, i used to always think it was the actress! hahaha.
although i can tell them a part easily in the photos- mainly because of the settings they’re in, i think in number 4 they can pass as the same person, or twins.
even though i do know katy is A and zooey is B, but still- they look exactly the same in those two.
