In the beginning, Bryce Dallas Howard was seen as the red headed "it girl" of the town, scoring leads in two M. Night Shyamalan films in a row, as well as the role of Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3. But then, Jessica Chastain burst onto the scene in an equally impressive light, thus dooming the common moviegoer to confusion as to which lady was which. Now, with Jurassic World hitting theaters, Howard would like to set the record straight as to who's really starring in the latest dinosaur epic.
Everyone get it yet? : ) performance by #BryceDallasHoward not #JessicaChastainPosted by Jessica Chastain on Monday, June 8, 2015
Ok, so it's only a lip synching, but it's a pretty funny one at that. The source of the actual song Bryce Dallas Howard references is the YouTube channel LegoLambs, which is the home to the musical parody stylings of Jon and Al Kaplan. For you underground theater kids, they're the duo behind the recent hit Silence! The Musical, which parodied The Silence Of The Lambs in the same vein as the video above; though you horror fans might know their work as two-thirds of the writing team behind Zombeavers.
While this video is in jest, it does bring up a serious point of confusion a lot of people seem to be suffering from, most importantly that both Howard and Chastain look eerily similar. The evidence is all laid out in song, as clips from films featuring both actors are co-mingled throughout the music video. So what's the big way to tell the difference between the two ladies? Well, it's all in the... um. The main difference is, er... Actually, to tell you the truth, it is really uncanny how close to each other they both look. In fact, watch the full video below and see if you can tell the difference yourself.
What isn't hard about differentiating Bryce Dallas Howard from Jessica Chastain is the fact that both women are terrific forces of nature on the big screen, and in their own special ways. Howard has more blockbuster experience, what with Spider-Man 3, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and Jurassic World all standing out on her resume. Chastain, on the other hand, has had more of an indie/character drama resume, with roles in films like Take Shelter and The Tree Of Life helping her gain prominence. Yet despite the varied resumes and the closely nuanced appearances, they both still get confused by the general public – which is why the video above is so funny.
Though just in case you already forgot who's who, Jessica Chastain has also shared this handy guide to telling the two ladies apart, via her Twitter account:
We'll leave it to you to figure out who's who, but you can definitely see one of these two ladies in Jurassic World this weekend, and we're willing to put money on Bryce Dallas Howard. Which means that the other half of our bet is going towards Jessica Chastain being the woman who'll be seen in Crimson Peak and The Martian this fall. Call it a hunch, but we like our odds.
