Man mistakes Jimmy Carr for Alan Carr on train

This has got to be deliberate, surely?

A man has shared a video of himself meeting comedian Jimmy Carr on a train... but appearing to mistake him for fellow comic Alan Carr. In the clip which has since gone viral, the man spots the 8 Out Of 10 Cats host sat in a carriage and excitedly goes over to him. Carr takes out one of his headphones and the man asks him: "Did anyone ever tell you [that] you look like Alan Carr a bit?"

Jimmy, with quite a confused look on his face, responds: "It’s Jimmy Carr. You’re very close." The pair then shared a fist bump, with the cameraman repeatedly telling him that he looked "sick." The awkward exchange was shared on TikTok, with the caption: "Man like Jimmy!!! My brother saw him on a train that a dedo got to be him [sic]" It has since racked up 1.5 million views and nearly 95,000 likes, attracting nearly 1,000 comments.

Along with lots of folks questioning why he has his feet on the seat in front and noting how he's "sat like a baby with an iPad", some wondered whether it was a deliberate mistake from the man filming. One person wrote: "How can you be a comedian and not recognise a great joke?" A second agreed: "How can a comedian not see a joke when it slaps him across the face?" However others were just enjoying the amusing content. Another person said: "I’m genuinely so jealous would’ve sat down and had a whole conversation with him."
