Kathryn Hahn, aged 51, recently discussed her experiences with being mistaken for Ana Gasteyer, who is 57 years old, during an episode of the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast. Hahn shared that she and Gasteyer often get confused for each other, and she even mentioned receiving pictures of Starbucks cups with “Bad Moms” written on them from Ana Gasteyer. This mix-up seems to be a regular occurrence, as Hahn also recalled being asked if she was on Saturday Night Live, where Gasteyer was a cast member from 1996 to 2002.
The actress expressed her flattery at being mistaken for Gasteyer, and she humorously mentioned their shared alma mater, Northwestern University, and their extensive bodies of work. This isn’t the first time Gasteyer has addressed the comparison either, as she previously shared similar sentiments about her dream collaborator in 2019.
During a recent interview, Ana Gasteyer humorously shared a story about the striking resemblance between her and actress Kathryn Hahn. Gasteyer mentioned that people often mistake them for each other and that they both receive compliments meant for the other person on a daily basis. She humorously expressed her desire to play sisters with Hahn, given their uncanny similarity.
Gasteyer also recounted an amusing encounter with the renowned musician Kenny G, where he mistook her for Kathryn Hahn. Instead of correcting him, Gasteyer decided to play along and thanked him for the opportunity to work with him, not wanting to disappoint the famous saxophonist.
