“It is like looking in a mirror,” Reynolds joked, adding of the gown Beckinsale was wearing in a clip the morning show displayed of the actress, “I mean, I was gonna wear that today!”

Back in October, Beckinsale also talked about the uncanny resemblance to Reynolds while onThe Tonight Show. HostJimmy Fallonremained unconvinced, though, saying he didn’t “really see it.”
She continued, “I’ve wrestled with how, obviously, he’s not even like a sort of slightly girly-boy-bander type. He’s like a big Canadian man and I really see myself in him.”
Beckinsale joked that the similarity is so intense that she can’t even work with theDeadpoolstar. “I can’t be in the same room as him because one of us, I think, would explode, or something would happen,” she quipped.

After Beckinsale’s insistence on Reynolds' doppelgänger status, the latter was quick to respond with a project idea for the supposed look-alikes to join forces on.
“We already have a script!” Reynolds joked on his Instagram Story at the time, tagging Beckinsale and pasting the pair’s faces onto marketing materials from the 1993Mary-KateandAshley OlsenHalloween movieDouble, Double Toil and Trouble.
Reynolds again poked fun at their similarities, commenting on one of Beckinsale’s Instagram posts to point out that both the actors appeared in big-screen vampire series:Bladefor him andUnderworldfor her.
“I’ve never been inthe same room with Kate. But I have raised her child while starring in the biggest vampire franchise on earth. So, you do the math,” he wrote.
6 Undergroundbegins streaming Friday on Netflix.
