Liam Neeson has revealed people often mistake him for fellow actor Ralph Fiennes and he has even signed an autograph as the Harry Potter star rather than admit his real identity.

The Irish actor, who stars alongside Fiennes in fantasy sequel Wrath Of The Titans, said their similar looks tend to get them mixed up.

“I get mistaken for my pal Ralph Fiennes. I’ve been congratulated for my Hamlet on Broadway 14 years ago,” he said.

“And he gets mistaken for me sometimes. We’d pass as brothers, you know.” added the actor.

Neeson, 59, recounted a memorable moment of mistaken identity. “I was once down in Patagonia, Argentina, about five years ago fly-fishing, and this woman came up and said, ‘Oh my God, Red Dragon! You were fantastic in that.’”.
